Fandoms I Have Loved 2: The Sentinel

[thefourthvine]

The Sentinel was my first television fandom, so it was also the first fandom I entered without even the vaguest clue about the canon. I’ve learned a lot of helpful tricks for moving smoothly into unfamiliar territory, but I didn’t know them then, so I experienced some confusion at first. And when I say “some confusion,” I mean “an enormous amount

I have no icons because I am absolutely not a visual person (you should be able to tell that by just looking at the pathetically unpretty way my LJ is set up), and I am thus quite certain I would make very crappy icons. I tried browsing the icon communities, but none of them had that special something, and I gave up.

But I tell you this - if they'd had Stitch with a bra on his head, or any picture that went with my LJ's new motto ("Sex: the Universal Fandom," which vamplover84 identified as the proper motto for all us sicko multi-fandom types), or an obscene trophy that I could label "the Slashy Awards," I'd have taken it. It's just - pictures of umbrellas and actors I don't recognize and unicorns didn't really work for this LJ, you know?

I've actually considered making a black type, white background icon with no picture, just the slogan "Icon Loser." 'Cause I just know that's what everyone is thinking when they look at my total absence of nifty representational pictures.

(If you actually did make me some, especially anything on my icon wishlist, I would love you even more than I already do. Because I'd still be an Icon Loser, but you'd be covering for my deficiencies. I'd be a closeted Icon Loser!)

I love you. I really, really love you. You're a beard for Icon Losers: now no one will know my dirty little secret.

And I totally love my new icon, too. You're welcome to use it, since it is, technically, yours, but I bet you won't be as proud of it as I am. No one could be.

Oooo! I have an icon!
