Important announcement (& a few other bits)

[thisbluespirit]

It's fic_rush! (And all right, I realise that it's been going on for 20 hours already, but I was distracted.)

So, just a reminder for those not already over there writing/cheerleading/procrastinating/fighting ninja penguins/drinking coffee, that you should be heading in that direction now.

In other news, I broke my glasses/my glasses broke (am waiting for new pair and not liking being reduced back to my c.2004 pair I never liked much anyway. Because I broke the previous pair as well, yes).

But I did not let this stop me making another fanvid from the Carry On clips you will be dismayed to hear. It is this: Even the Bad Times Are Good. A general tribute/montage, but I like to think of it as my entry for the Most Cheerful Fanvid Ever competition. (If there were such a thing.) Feel free to see what you think; I hope it makes people smile.

naarmamo continues to be interesting and fun, and I am all admiration at other people's art. In the course of trying to experiment, I have been learning about brushes on my image programme and can now make icons that have sparkly bits on. The next step will be restraining myself from putting sparkly bits on every icon... (I'll hopefully do an update post tomorrow).

Just so long as they're not icons of vampires that you're adding sparkles to - 'cos then I will DISOWN you!

[thisbluespirit]

Now, what do you think? ;-D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I think the icons probably don't include vampires, but I thought I'd mention it, all the same!

[thisbluespirit]

No. The only vampires I can think of me iconing are Buffy ones, and I've never capped any of that as yet. :-) (Mind, giving Spike sparkles, just to annoy him would be amusing...)

Spike with sparkles. Even Buffy-illiterate me knows this shoudl be epic. GO FOR IT GO FOR IT.

You can have David Tennant in Fright Night icons! That's... sort of... vampire...-y.

LOL I am trying *not* to do the sparkles, at least not for naarmamo. I felt 'learning how to use brushes' should mean 'learning how to use a reasonable number of them' not just the one that turns into sparkly dots when you use a screen layer filter.

But Spike would be disgusted at sparkles. :-D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Oh gods! Spike would utterly make mincemeat of Edward the sparkly vampire!

[thisbluespirit]

Yes! I once read a fic when I was first on LJ that had them both (and some vampire I didn't know) on a chat show together and it was extremely funny. I didn't bookmark it; I wish I had - Spike's reaction to Edward was priceless.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Oh lor'!!

[thisbluespirit]

Look, I found it!. I didn't think I'd have a hope in hell of picking it up again via LJ's search function, but turns out someone else was looking for it recently, too. :-)

(I've bookmarked it now.)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Well, well, life is strange!!

You mean you're not going to icon vampire!Lalla Ward?

[belantana.livejournal.com]

Haha, fic_rush again already?! I would love to participate but I have absolutely zero fic.

Also, I would pay good money to see Spooks icons with sparkly bits on.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, you should have just popped in to say hi and tell everyone well done or something. We had a whole menagerie of ninja animals this time. :-)

Hmmm... Okay, then... :lol:
