Oh! I HAVE to steal Heyer #7! *giggles*

[thisbluespirit]

Yes. I thought as soon as I saw it that it could almost be an LJ motto, LOL. :-)

[kushiels-lady.livejournal.com]

brilliant <3

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! :-)

[jekesta]

LOVE all the press gang ones. That's a really lovely way of doing them, and obviously they're brilliant. You make me miss press gang lots.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! :-D I made quite a few when I first started making icons, and thought it was about time for a few more! Press Gang has the best quotes ever. :-)

(PS. I did a post of Press Gang recs a while back - fic, vids, icons etc.)

[therealsnape.livejournal.com]

Took 3 and 7 - that one will be very useful, with my flist.

Will credit, of course.

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! And, hmm, :lol: (But, yeah, it could be a motto for LJ, or something.)

[randomstasis.livejournal.com]

Want all!
Heyer gives great quote, doesn't she?
My all time favorite was "Don't cry! Remember what the poet said- Although I don't remember which poet, but it was probably Shakespeare, because it almost always is, although I can't imagine why..
If that could fit on an icon, I'd be entirely happy with life;D

[thisbluespirit]

Aw. :-) Thanks. And she does. Sometimes icons are too small, it is true.

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

Took two of the Heyer ones - 4 and 15 - will credit when used!

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! :-)

[crisium.livejournal.com]

These are all fantastic, but they entire Heyer set just makes my weekend. Brilliant!

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! :-)

[pitry.livejournal.com]

You make me want to have more icons....

[thisbluespirit]

Aw. Sorry about that? ;-)

[byzantienne.livejournal.com]

Wandered in from friendsfriends, taking Heyer #3 and #8 -- will credit!

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks - glad you liked them. :-)

[just-ruth.livejournal.com]

I have helped myself to Georgette #25 :)

[thisbluespirit]

Hmm. #25? And I haven't even made it yet. ;-) But glad you liked it anyway! (22?)

[3kame.livejournal.com]

Heyer #14 made me LOL, I shall use it /snigger

[thisbluespirit]

Heh. I thought it might be endlessly applicable... um, not. But amusing. :-D Thanks!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

PRESS GANG OMG YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER ENOUGH PRESS GANG ICONS!

Do you mind telling me which books the Heyer quotes are from? I've just started reading through her works.

[thisbluespirit]

Your icons is pretty fab, too. :-) And, yes, indeed, yay Press Gang!!! :-)

The Heyer quotes are as follows:

1. Devil's Cub; 2. The Nonesuch; 3. April Lady; 4. The Quiet Gentleman; 5&6. Frederica; 7. The Nonesuch; 8. The Corinthian; 9. Frederica; 10. The Grand Sophy; 11. Arabella; 12. Venetia; 13. Frederica; 14. Cotillion; 15. Arabella; 16. The Grand Sophy; 17. Venetia; 18. Charity Girl; 19. Arabella; 20. The Corinthian; 21. Arabella; 22. Powder & Patch.

[dimity-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! I think all of these are great! Obviously, I love the Georgette Heyer ones, but the Press Gang ones made me smile too. Those are some great quotes.

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! There will definitely be more, especially the Heyer ones - I've barely scratched the surface! :-)

[snickfic]

All of the Heyer quotes are wonderful. I will be snagging several. I don't suppose you have a list of which quotes are from which novels, do you?

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you!

And I do, indeed, or at least, having only just made them, I can remember most:

1. Devil's Cub; 2. The Nonesuch; 3. April Lady; 4. The Quiet Gentleman; 5&6. Frederica; 7. The Nonesuch; 8. The Corinthian; 9. Frederica; 10. The Grand Sophy; 11. Arabella; 12. Venetia; 13. Frederica; 14. Cotillion; 15. Arabella; 16. The Grand Sophy; 17. Venetia; 18. Charity Girl; 19. Arabella; 20. The Corinthian; 21. Arabella; 22. Powder & Patch.

*beams at all the Heyer quotes*

I love you forever. She has such an elegant turn of phrase at times, doesn't she?

[thisbluespirit]

She does indeed! Glad you liked them. :-)

[nishatalitha.livejournal.com]

Heee! Heyer! I've snagged #3 and #8 of the Heyer and #2 of the Press Gang. Those are all awesome quotes.

Will pass the link onto my flatmates, who also like Heyer.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks - glad you liked them! It's a person of rare taste who likes both, of course. ;-)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the Heyer ones!!! And great use of the different fonts.... :)

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I think I've barely scratched the surface there, as well. And, yes, although now I'm beginning to wonder if yet Moar Fonts are needed. For Press Gang, New Courier is a given, really, but I thought Heyer justified a bit of playing around with. :-)

(I do love your dancing ladies.)

[adrililith.livejournal.com]

These are wondermous!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks!

[stealingpennies.livejournal.com]

These are great! I've snagged 3,7,and 21 and will credit when used. Thanks!

[thisbluespirit]

Glad you liked them! :-)

[myrna-nora.livejournal.com]

Love these! I'm going to have to take some of the Heyer quotes.

[thisbluespirit]

Thjanks - glad you liked them!

[meener.livejournal.com]

hurrah georgette heyer! snagging a couple, will credit. :) thanks for making these!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, no problem - glad you liked them!

[aellwynde.livejournal.com]

Number 9 of the first set about made me fall out of my chair- I love that word!! No one seems to know it, much less use it anymore. I saved that one very happily. :):) I also saved the immoral support from the second set. Thank you!!

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! Glad you liked them.

[keladry_lupin]

I grabbed about half the Heyer icons and quite a few of the Press Gang ones, even though I have no idea what Press Gang is. Thanks!

[thisbluespirit]

Hah, thanks. Glad you liked them! (Press Gang was a 1990s UK Teen drama created & written by Steven Moffat, starring Julia Sawalha and Dexter Fletcher. And still pretty much one of the most quotable and best TV shows ever. IMHO, of course. ;-D)

[lil-shepherd.livejournal.com]

These are wonderful.

I am taking 008, 013 and 009 of the Heyers and 025 and 010 of the Press Gang quotes - and, despite not being an active fan of either, am having to resist taking more.

Will credit, naturally.

[thisbluespirit]

Heh, thank you. No - don't resist - help yourself! ;-)

[zdenka]

I love the Heyer ones! Just their existence makes me happy. I will save some of them as soon as I manage to decide which ones. :-)

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks. Glad you liked them!
