In case you've missed it, there's a few days left for this summer's round of iconfest, where you can request icons and have them created for you by awesome people. I asked for Sam and Teal'c rec icons (since I already have Daniel and Jack, plus team rec icons), and hsapiens made a bunch of gorgeous ones for me! Here are the two that I've uploaded already ( Read more... )

Do you know how long it took for me to figure out the acronym "GIP"...?

I'm afraid this is a remarkably self-indulgent post, as I will sadly be saying goodbye to most of my icons tomorrow. I look back with amusement at how baffled I was, when I first joined LJ, at how many icons so many people seemed to need. Oh, little did I know ( Read more... )

So back in the fall, I asked for a fic rec icon and samantilles created the lovely one I've used here and have been using regularly at figs_sg1_rec. But while Jack and Daniel are always a pleasure :) I did want something a little more team-centric!

Happily, there is an iconfest running right now (still open through the 26th - go request something!) and when I posted my ( Read more... )

Last week, all my fannish time was occupied with Alphabet Soup and Gen Fic Day, so I didn't have a chance to rewatch Allegiance. And it is a rewatch, too; a year or so ago, when aurora_novarum was trying to coax me into watching S6, she recced it for its general lack of Jonasness (don't forget, I wasn't anti-Jonas but I wasn't a fan either) and the high quality ( Read more... )

...Not for here on LJ, sigh. Not only do I have all my slots filled, but my paid account is due to run out in the next few days. It's going to be a frustrating challenge to go back to only six - and by the way, does anyone know how to specify which icons you want kept in active use when you revert from paid to basic?

Over on Dreamwidth, though, I ( Read more... )

Just to remind you all that Janet Alphabet Soup is due on May 18th, on SG-1 Gen Fic Day! A few of you have mentioned that you've got gen fic saved for the occasion - I'm very excited about that. :)

Also, squee! I finally have the perfect Alphabet Soup icon, thanks to samantilles! Take a look at her icon post for all the variations - lots of nice ideas there ( Read more... )

Giveaway of the Day is a very nice website that offers programs, free of charge, for 24 hours at a time. These range all over the place, from elaborate screensavers to DVD rip software to utilities programs. Some, obviously, are more useful than others, but it all depends on what you need, I suppose.

Today's giveaway is AWicons Pro, which is ( Read more... )

So, my latest fic featured Teal'c pwning the team - again - and it occurs to me that I write Teal'c pwnage a lot. So, inspired by some rather gleeful comments (thanks, guys!), I hereby present my latest icon: Teal'c, First Prime of Pwnage! Shareable with credit, and comments are greatly appreciated ( Read more... )

Squeezing in one last post before I sign off till Sunday...

nomadicwriter is offering to create icons on request. I think half the icons on my hard drive (as well as six that I'm currently using!) are the product of her talented brain. Such an opportunity is definitely not to be missed!

So go and make your request. And in the meantime, admire this stunning ( Read more... )

Wheeee! annerbhp made me delicious icons, because she is wonderful and I am slowly and carefully coaxing her into my tentacles of gen goodness. :)

The Benevolent Dictatrix one is going to get used a lot, I suspect...

Thank you, Annerb!
