Icon Meme

[thisbluespirit]

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

persiflage_1picked these for me:

I should say straight off that they were all made by other, very talented people, since I am completely useless at icon-making.



Harry! persiflage_1says I have to explain why I love him. Erm. I'm not sure there are reasons other than it seems to be the inevitable result of watching too much classic Who. (He's he not in any way as stupid or as useless as some people would like to claim. Yes, Doctor, that is you I'm looking at.)



And, of course, a Brigadier icon is also needed. This one is rather fun. Plus, I post largely about my fic and the Brigadier features one way or another in a lot of them. (Sometimes in ways that I'm still apologetic about. He wasn't amused by the whole Pride and Prejudice thing....)




Ditto this. Since over 2008 I wrote 8 or 9 Brig/Liz (or S7 with hints of Brig/Liz) fics, an icon was needed. This perfectly illustrates sleepysheep's point (I think it was) about the fact that it's very hard to take a still from Spearhead with the Brig and Liz that doesn't look shippy out of context. It's the sarky Liz vs unflappable Brig that had me addicted.



I like Eight. I love writing Eight and Charley, although they are currently in at least 3 partly written fics at the moment. I expect I went in search of a nice Eight icon when I posted Anarchist Sprites.



Nice quote from DW. I like nice quotes. There were a lot this icon maker did and it was very hard to choose, but I thought this made a nice general icon.

I ship Liz and the Brig SO hard. And I really need to read more of your Liz- & Brig-centric fics!

And Harry is lovely!

They are such fun to write. I got so addicted. Basically, there are oddments like Matchmaking and A Matter of Timing that are both little AUs from other people's ideas.

And then there's the whole Season 7 cycle (a story in between each episode. The shippiness varies, but it's there) here) and Only Visiting This Planet which fits between How to Say Goodbye and Unfinished, but is something a bit different).

Did I say insane amount of fic? Because I should have done. It's a bit scary, now that I look back on it. (Oh, and UNIT: Undercover. You can read just part 2, which is Liz and the Brig on a 'date'. Part 1 needs fixing, but I've given up hope. I may have to do something ruthless to it one day). *looks around* Where did persiflage_i go? ;-D

Anyway, thanks for the icons. That was fun. (And you really did go re-read my other story! :-D)

persiflage_1 went to read - well, I will in a minute! :P

Anyway, thanks for the icons. That was fun.

Glad you had fun!

(And you really did go re-read my other story! :-D)

Well yeah, I said I would!

I was assuming you didn't want tagging back... ?

Um, well, since I've done the meme twice already, I think probably not - don't want to bore people!

[thisbluespirit]

That's what I assumed. :-)
