Last week I entered my first try for i_contest. I didn't make it past the first round, children's theme.

::sigh:: Oh well. I liked my own entry, so I'm proud of it. It will be anonymous for a few days, but anyone want to guess? I'm one of about 40+ icons, but it's probably pretty obvious... at least, I would guess it. But then, I made it, so that doesn't make much sense, huh?

This is a good meme. I'd love it if you participated! :)

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

The characters! The plot! The action! The death! The setting! The FREAKIN DIALOGUE! ::SQUEEEE!

So last night I stayed up very late and read my new favorite LOTR fic ever, even beating out the OverCastDay fic which I have loved unchallenged for almost 8 months now(surprising, because hers was finished and this new one is not yet), and left it a very squealy page long review.

What's the pairing for this great, wonderful, fabulous fic that I love so much? ... Legolas/Eowyn. I never thought it could happen, but yes, I can totally rearrange my shipping based on the possibilities that arise out of just. one. perfect. fic.

Eowyn/Aragorn? Screw 'em. Bored now.

Eowyn/Faramir? Blah. WhatEVER, dude!

Legolas/OC? Why bother.

There is no going back. I am fundamentally changed.

I am an Eowyn/Legolas fan. I will now be doomed to spend every moment analyzing the scenes at Edoras and Helm's Deep for that special spark that logically I know isn't there yet (after all, the new canon fic is set after RotK and only touches on H'sD), but I will nonetheless strive to seek.

Because I have been convinced now that there is no better ship in all of LotR.

Except maybe Legolas/cameramen, and Legolas/backlighters, and Legolas/make-up artists, and Legolas/costumers....

I need to make icons.

LJ tech question

How does one make it so there is a permenent journal entry at the top of you LJ at all times?
