Beyond the Roundels

1. There is a post-Yuletide friending meme going on here. (For all those interested in small fandoms and having new friends and not solely for those who took part in the exchange.)



2. sallymn picked three of my icons to talk about for a meme. All three of her selected icons were made by me:



This is Lynda Day from Press Gang, as played by Julia Sawalha, one of my formative influences (as anybody who's been subjected to long babbly comments on the subject over the years will know). She is editor of the Junior Gazette and dictator in the making, and "Fearless Editor" is what (I think) Spike calls her sometimes in the series, so it made both a good PG/Lynda icon and a generic writing one. (The icons I have now have to mostly have combined functions.)

(Press Gang was the first thing Steven Moffat did and I still think, in many ways, that it remains the best, and it is amazing and well worth checking out and not being put off by it being a teen show. It may be, but it was also one of the most remarkable UK TV shows of the 90s. /climbs down off sales pitch box*)




I got into Margaret Lockwood a while back and this is one of a bunch of icons I made from publicity shots. This one is still probably my favourite, but I might possibly swap it round. I use it for when I'm talking about films, even if they don't have Margaret Lockwood in, though that is naturally a sad lack. It also works as a sort of generic/neutral 'pretty' icon.




And this is Silver from Sapphire and Steel, as played by David Collings. He is the shiniest Element and I love him and made a lot of icons. (Photobucket has eaten all the links, but I still have them saved. I should put them all back up, I suppose!) I really like the scene where he steals the door handle and made a few icons out of it. My favourite one I had as a default for a while, but this was more neutral and multipurpose. I should probably try and get a Sapphire-Steel-Silver icon now that I can only have space for one S&S one, but I love Silver and also it doubles up for stuff to do with weird things, technical things, and other stuff with David Collings in, and any time I need to say "oops" or "sorry". (David Collings is always highly entertaining.)


* Like Lynda, I'm short, I need a box.

Excuse the spammage tonight, but I have decided that over the next few days, I will post all the uploaded but unposted icons I have. Some of them are now very old (but obviously I deleted anything I really didn't like). I kept thinking I would do more of each, but even if I do, they'll look different now, and it's getting silly.

This post contains all the non-text, non-DW ones. The text and DW will follow in due course.

Allo Allo [1 - 11]
Carry On Films [12 - 92]
I Capture the Castle, Inkheart, Inspector Alleyn [93 - 121]
Julia Sawalha - WDYTYA [122 - 132]

Today's entry - four very close crops (plus four medium crops for comparison). They are probably even more obscure than usual, barring one.
