What can we request from you: Q & A and guides; I ~could do tutorials for any icon I did over the past year too, I guess, but I flit around a lot and repeat steps and undo them and usually end up with way too many layers, so trust me, you don't want that. :P
Can we hotlink your icons?: Yup.

TELL ME ALL OF YOUR SECRETS REGARDING COLORING DAREDEVIL CAPS IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE & THANK YOU. <3

I second this! Every time I try I get horribly dark icons while yours are so bright and colorful!

What can we request from you (tutorials, Q&A, guides etc. .PSDs are not allowed: anything as long as I have the psds :) I'm not that good at writing guides and such, but I can try! I'll let you know if I can't do what you asked or if I need to change something or, you know... anything I should let you know about.
Can we hotlink your icons?: yep!

I'm really curious about the coloring of this one!

[damsiedam]

I have the psd so, sure! :D
I'll get to work right away and get back to you as soon as it's done :)

Any of my icons prior to January 2015 may take awhile since I lost all psds to those icons in a hard drive crash so I'd have to recreate them and then write the tutorial.
Can we hotlink your icons?: Sure.

I would love to see a favorite fonts guide because your text techniques are always amazing. Like on this icon

[dark_x_huntress]

Sure thing!

A general tutorial of your vibrant icons would be lovely or tutoials for these two icons :)

[adriftingsea]

I'll get right on it ^^ the icon tuts will come before the vibrancy tutorial, because I have to find a way to make since of my messiness haha ;p

[adriftingsea]

here's the tutorial for the second one! I'm including the first as an example in my vibrancy guide :)
