GIP

How do people without paid journals post icons? Seriously. I've had a paid journal for 2 years until last month, so I can't use my scrapbook anymore. I made some spiffy new icons, but don't have room to put them in my own icon queue.

Is there a website people use to link to gif and jpeg files? Is there a common one?


Anyway, check out the icon. This poem rocks. Of course, it's not a shippy poem at ALL yet I put it with a mildly shippy icon... oh well, it works. I do think it fits in terms of mood (poem and the episode), and the caption "you will go faltering after that bright imperious line" is a prophecy for Zuko's life, and description of his personality, as sure as anything Aunt Wu might say.

I guess this is sort of a spoilery icon... but there are other spoilery icons out there, and mine doesn't really give anything away, and if you haven't seen the episode by now then you're not a respectable Avatar fan anyway.

Here's the other one!



Photobucket seems to be a good ticket.

I'm glad you like it! This other one uses the complete from which my lemon fic takes its title; the poem is "what if a much of a which of a wind" by e e cummings. you should google it; it's so great. One of my favorites (I love cummings!)

I honestly can't decide which one I like better-- both captions are great, and both styles of color-editing look good too.

I can't believe you're staying unspoiled for potentially a MONTH! Oh my god, if only you see this next episode... seriously, it'll give you enough ideas to last six months. I keep wanting to write fic for it but I'm not sure how to start. Episode 12 does some really interesting things: it establishes how the characters interact and how much they've changed from the last time Zuko and the gang interacted. I don't want to get more spoilery than that for your sake, but... this is what we really needed, in fic terms: a sampling of how we should write Zuko + Gaang-- a sample pattern, of sorts. Good? Bad? Funny? Painful? Difficult to watch? Enthralling? In many ways its like a trainwreck. An awesome trainwreck.

It also completely changed my perception of writing Zuko POV and Zuko dialogue in this context, which is probably why I haven't even drabbled it yet. My predictions of Zuko's behavior in this context were spot-on in some ways, and radically off in others. It's kind of thrown me for a loop. A good loop.

Anyway... I respect the no spoiler thing but OMG, the episode is out and you really should indulge, if its not going to air until the new year. It's not like reading a summary of the episode, you can just get it.

oh boo. oh BOO. they're both awesome icons. Clearly I will have to switch out.

I know, I know, I know...but I like watching it on TV. it's not quite as much fun now that everyone watches it beforehand and has already discussed it to death by the time I see it, but it's so big and pretty on TV!

heck, I still haven't drabbled post-DOBS. I'm kinda still living off the euphoria of my last one-shot (because I haven't felt like I've nailed something so well in a while), although I do have an idea for a (probably now-jossed, thanks to 3x12, but I wrote the last one after DOBS had already come out knowing it'd be AU...*will probably write this one sometime soon*
