| One of the reason I love The West Wing is because it is chock full of incredible, independent, beautiful women who revel in their femininity while putting their would-be alpha male peers in their place when the need arises. So for halfamoon, I decided to dust off the PS skillz and celebrate these wonderful, wonderful women. Aaaaaand I'm getting it in JUST in the nick of time. Icons are in alphabetical order according to character. Enjoy. Previews:  ~+~  ~+~ ( 48 icons behind the cut: ) | |

| Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. I capped an episode of GH (specifically, the character of Luke Spencer) for a friend. ( Caps behind the cut from 12/30: )- Tags:gh, screencaps

| I decided to play around with some stock photos that I picked up from Google Images and the Associated Press. A lot of these are music oriented since that's where the muse took me. These are my first icons in a long while - just wanted to play a bit to get back into the swing. Previews:  ~+~  ~+~ ( 13 icons behind the cut: )- Tags:graphics, stock

| This is an archive post for the icons I created for alwaysjbj (pen name of "always_jbj" so y'all don't think I'm dense) as part of Sweet Charity during the writers' strike auction. Since these icons were created per spec, I ask you please not to snurch, grab, alter or take any of them. As deluded as the person must have been at the time to bid on me, please remember that someone paid for these icons and I wouldn't feel right about them traipsing about the place, cheating on their rightful owner. :D That said, I did receive the recipient's permission to make this archive post. Most of these were an exploration of color basics and textures, especially in relation to the backgrounds. My requests were Spike/Buffy, Giles/Ethan and Spike as the recipient's favorites. I managed one animated icon that I'm DAMNED proud of. It's the one I'm most tempted to alter for myself, but I won't be doing it for a long, long, long while (see statement above about other people's stuff). ( Icons behind the cut: ) | |

| Title: J Is For Jacob/N Is For Naquadah Author: stargazercmcRating: G & G Spoilers/Warnings: Threads & s4 of SGA respectively Pairings: None Disclaimer: If they were mine, Sam would be building me a naquadah generator to defeat morning traffic. Notes: For abyssinia4077 for her 26th birthday as part of sg_fignewton's project, Defining Sam From A to Z. The project was a round-up of short ficlets to explore aspects of Samantha Carter using the alphabet as the basis for prompts with each author taking a letter or letters. My letters were, obviously, J and N. ( J Is For Jacob )( N Is For Naquadah )Go read the others as well! - Tags:fic, sg-1, sga

| I created this mix while putting together Gravity Sings, the Sam/Jack story I wrote for the apocalypse_kree ficathon. I intended to send this to all of my fandom peeps with their Christmas packets this year. But since I suck at mailing things for yet another year, I decided to upload it so y'all could have at least a little something. And who knows. I may still do those packets. There was more to them than just this mix, and I'd love to break another bad habit this year. ( Mix behind the cut: )- Tags:music mixes, sg-1

| I've been learning my way around the lasso and eraser tools and playing with textures and brushes. The result? A metric ton of icons from several very diverse fandoms. Here we've got a bit of The X-Files (from "Fallen Angel"), Moonlighting holiday icons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Giles-centric) and American Idol (mostly Simon). Previews:  ~+~  ~+~  ~+~ ( 33 total icons behind the cut: )ETA: Oh, and the American Idol icons? All spiletta42's fault. :P | |
