Icon meme!

aibhinn, so here are the icons she picked for me and the 'story' behind them.
This is one of many, many icons I have made by the very talented
christn7. If you've hung around my LJ for any length of time, you're going to know I love Jack, and I love Doctor/Jack interaction almost as much as I love Doctor/Rose/Jack. And Ten and Jack bounce off each other with incredible chemistry. Anyway... so this icon just made me laugh when I first saw it. If even Jack's shocked, whatever they're looking at has to be bad... maybe the two of them are in bed with Blon Fel Fotch? ;)
Ooh, guess what, another
christn7 icon. Who doesn't love that 'phone sex' scene in The Sound of Drums? Anyway, Dave iconed it for a few of us who asked, and this is one of my Master icons. Doesn't hurt that I also love John Simm and adored Life on Mars.
Oh yeah, and here's another
christn7 icon, made by request. You see, several people on my flist, Dave included, came from the Lois and Clark fandom. And we noticed a lot of similarity between the plot of The Sound of Drums and an L&C two-part episode called Meet John Doe/Lois and Clarks. In the L&C episodes, the bad guy, who is from the future, runs for President. He convinces the entire population to love him and vote for him by sending telepathic messages through the telecommunications system. By the time the heroes are onto him, he's already heading for a landslide victory. There are other similarities too, but these are the main ones. Anyway, the bad guy's slogan in Lois and Clark is John Doe is a darn nice guy. Hence this icon... ;)
This one was my very first LJ icon! It was made for me too by another L&C fandom friend,
ksarasara. Puzzle is my cat, a gorgeous, and tiny, five-year-old calico tabby.
Oh, the wonderful Harriet Jones :) This icon is made by
shiremint, and I searched all over for it :) I have it because when I post fic I love to use icons relevant to the fic, or to the individual chapter. (For a while,
christn7 even made me icons specific to particular fics, but I stopped doing that because when the fic's finished I then have an icon taking up space in my userpics that I won't use again no matter how much I love it - and if I delete it then the fic doesn't have specially-chosen icons. Yes, I'm anal that way ;) Anyway... when I was posting a fic called Man and Superman I wanted a Harriet icon because she plays a major role in two or three chapters.
Made by
starofthemorn - and do I really need to comment? ;) It's Jack. It's Nine. And isn't it what we'd all love to say but only Jack would dare?
This is one of my two pure TARDIS icons. I loved it the second I saw someone using it as their userpic. I haven't a clue who made it - the person I... um... stole it from didn't have a credit. On my userpic page, I've said that if anyone recognises it please tell me who made it because I'd love to be able to credit. It's just gorgeous - the slightly blurred image of the TARDIS, door open in a welcoming manner, Nine in the doorway, Rose barely-visible in the foreground (so if you weren't a Rose shipper you might still like it), and the slogan: Find your way home. Because that's what the TARDIS becomes to those who travel in her. Utterly gorgeous.
Okay, those are my icons and the story behind them. Thanks for choosing them and letting me play,
aibhinn!
