I should probably put this under literaryquotes, but I like the quote so much (and have been looking for it for so very long) that I'm putting it in my LJ:

WHY I WRITE FOR CHILDREN By Isaac Bashevis Singer

logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.

BRILLIANT! Mind if I gack this?

[gehayi]

Since Mr. Singer wrote this, and read it when he was awarded his Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978, feel free to gack it. It's excellent and should be gacked.

Thanks, gehayi!

Love your new icons, btw. U R Teh Grammah Queen!

[gehayi]

Heh. Thanks. The comma one and the bad spelling one, as well as this Discworld icon, were made by the ultra-brilliant copperbadge, also known as Sam Vimes of "Stealing Harry" fame. The other one, featuring child Remus and young man Remus, I got from thistlerose. (I don't think she made it, though.)

I'm always in awe of people who make such witty, brilliant icons. *sigh*

[thistlerose]

I did! I made the icon! I just didn't draw the pictures. :)

*applauds creativity*

[gehayi]

Oh, great! And I wish I could make icons. ::sniff::

[thistlerose]

If you have an idea and some images I could probably throw something together. Whatever you like. :)

If you have Photoshop, you can make icons. You just use the crop tool, put it at 100 x 100 (it will make the cropped picture proportional so when you make them actually 100x100 it will be the right size). You can add text very easily. If you want to do fancy Photoshop techniques like masking and layering, I recommend you read vrya's fantastic tuturials.
And, if you have ImageReady as well, you can make animated icons.

I don't think I have Photoshop. Or ImageReady. I'll have to check. I'm glad there are tutorials, if I do have either one.
