some days I hate LJ - you start a post and then it decides to freeze and erase it. So let's try this again. this is me being a sheep (baaaaa)! LOL!
My dear friend laurielover1912, was tagged by her friend in explaining the story behind five user pics, so she gave me five of mine to tell the story behind. I don't think mine are near as interesting as hers, but here we go anyway!
Four years and 5 days ago a very dear friend of mine passed away. It was a very sudden event that hit me really hard. I needed an icon that could express the emotions that I was feeling. I went for days that I couldn't quit crying. It took me nearly two years before I could think of him without crying. I don't remember where I got the icon, but I know it helps when something is really sad.
Ah Sirius! My second love in fanfiction. Draco was my first. It was wickedswanz that first made me love Sirius. The way she wrote him just made him come alive more than ever for me. This is one of the icons that she made of Sirius in the rain. It strikes me as just the thing that character would do. Makes me smile to think of all the fun things we in fanfiction do with his character! :D
This has become one of my favorite icons of all. two years ago I started writing a fanfic about the second war that featured Rabastan and Hermione. This icon was created by my sister (ashes_embers) for me as a representation of Rabastan. I find that in some of the less well defined characters there is so much potential to play with. Someday, I'll finish writing that fanfic, but for now it sits on the back burner being added to once in a while in bits and pieces. The prologue for it is linked in my sidebar
Dark Seduction is my first Rabastan/Hermione fic. I have become fascinated with Rabastan and his untapped potential. I find that there is something seductive about the men shrouded in shadow who tempt the dark. Well, at least in fiction anyway. In fiction, we can play with the darker characters and there's no harm, no foul. Every good girl (and even the naughty ones) have a side that's drawn to the bad boys.
I think I snagged this icon from my sister (ashes_embers). This icon just made me think about the fight people feel inside themselves. The fight between what they want to do and what they need to do. Sometimes our wants and desires are in opposition to our responsibilities. The idea of rebelling and choosing to satisfy a personal want or desire over a responsibility is freeing. it makes me think of another saying, that good girls never make the history books (or something to that effect).
If you want to play along, and tell the story behind five of your icons, just leave "DRAGONS" in the comments and I'll pick five of your icons to write about.
