unfitforsociety was updated for September 2010 with 30 recs in 9 fandoms:

* 9 Supernatural
* 9 Inception
* 4 Avatar: The Last Airbender
* 2 crossovers
* 1 each China Beach, DCU, The West Wing, Fringe, Middleman, and The Simpsons

Read, love, give feedback!

Which reminds me,
celli posted about commenting on stories at AO3, and I just wanted to say that I welcome comments anywhere I've posted a story - on LJ, on DW, on AO3, or on my own website, which does actually still exist, though it hasn't been updated in a while. I try to respond to all of them, but sometimes it'll be a few weeks because I'm bad at it. So, uh, thanks for commenting! I really appreciate it.

I also uploaded a few more icons for
unfitforsociety, taken from some icons I made a long time ago, and it amuses me to see how in 2005, I was still putting borders around almost everything, but that has fallen out of favor, and I wouldn't do it at all now.

Has anyone done any looking into icons and how what's popular or in style has changed over the years? Because icons are what sold me on moving to LJ (and more icons on DW is appealing), and while I really dislike some icon trends (tiny text arrgh!), I do find it interesting how trends change and how those trends don't seem to be confined to a particular fandom. People who actually frequent icon comms and make icons that are more complicated than cropping and sharpening, do you find this to be the case? Are icon-makers their own fandom in a way, where the trends aren't source-related but artist-related? Tell me what you think!
