Wow, it was a very dramatic set! My favorite was Handwritten, and I love all the variations of happy Buffy with happy Joyce. Wonderful work!

Oh good, it's a very dramatic episode! I obviously had fun with the handwritten one (I say "fun" now because all the work that went into it has faded in my memory *lol*). There just aren't enough images of smiling, happy Buffy or Buffy with Joyce out there, I says.

Thank you so much for the compliments!

You did a glorious job here! I love these icons so much, as you know!

And you know I couldn't put this together without your keen eye and generous help! Thank you again so much.

BTW, making this set has me inexplicably imagining a Vamp!Buffy / Vamp!Willow AU, and how would that go down (would they battle for dominance, or VB be all, "whatever"; and how would someone write that and have an actual story with characterization and not descend into a mere NC-17 bloodplay-sex-fest (not that there's anything wrong with that *ahem*)

I may settle for making an icon.

Gorgeous work!

Thank you and HELLO YOU! How did you know you've been on my mind lately? (I think it's the combination of seasonal spuffy and reading S10 comics that's done it.) Will you be submitting something to seasonal spuffy this round?

[elisi]

Alas, no.

Doctor Who is eating my head (we're at the end of the season! Only two episodes left...) and I wouldn't even know where to start.

But thanks for thinking of me. ♥

Well that sounds dire *lol*

I love blank space (the emptiness of it is unique), cat 2 (the shattered image), and ac2 (the coloring is lovely)!

[red_satin_doll]

Thank you so much, I'm thrilled you like!

Confession: Negative Space is me returning to an image I used for a negative space icon in Round 1, my first ever 20in20:

Back when I had no idea what "blends", "layers" and "textures" were; kind of a "how far have I come?" deal.

cat 2 (the shattered image), and ac2 (the coloring is lovely)!

*blushes* Cat 2 was absolutely the hardest icon here you have no idea, I almost threw up my hands and submitted the plain alt because I couldn't get any texture to work on it without obscuring the image. And the coloring on AC2 was also very much a last minute addition when I saw how the plain version looked with the other entries.

How does that work for writers? I guess, if you have something in one chapter, but then your mind goes another direction and all of a sudden you have to decide whether to go back and edit the draft or leave things the way they are?

[red_satin_doll]

Thanks hon!

Which of the Willow ones are you referring to, or both?

[red_satin_doll]

You wouldn't be the first person to prefer #6! I ended up using the version I did in AC1 just because I thought it went better with the other icons in that set, but it was close.
