SGA squee

Heheh...I showed that photo the icon is based on to a friend who has no clue about SGA and she was all "OMG WHO IS THAT HOT MAN NOM NOM NOM"! heh

It's a great icon! Very inspirational! Now I want John icons.

...this is going to end in tears, I can see it now. ;)

That picture's been the wallpaper on my computer for a while now. I believe I waxed philosophic about it in a comment on

saintvic's journal a month or 2 ago.

From:

I'm going to have to icon spam you, I can see this now. Because I am an absolute ICON SLUT. Yes, I have said it out loud now. I love icons, I crave other people's icons, I have even tried to make them myself. Someone anonymously gifted me with userpics earlier in the year and I went bonkers!

You are welcome to go to my profile page and snag any icon you see that I have not listed as private--I have credited those where I know for a fact who the maker is, but I must admit, I collected some icons years before I even knew what they were and before I had a LJ account to use them in. Some of those don't have proper credits and if anyone recognizes them, PLEASE let me know who to credit!!

I love gifs but I don't know how to make them into icons. *pouty face*

My favorite icons makers are all on my profile page. If you see a preponderance of icons by

mischief5 it is because her work is awesome!

I need some McKay/Sheppard Vegas icons, BTW. And some more Team Sheppard ones too. Just sayin'...

hahaHA! You can't scare me! Bring it ON! *braces*

You are the total opposite of me; I'm very spartan with the icons. It took me several years on LJ before I got a second icon. I felt SO extravagant! LOL! But I keep doing too much SGA squeeing to just use a generic one, sooo....

I keep thinking I want one of the team, or maybe one of Atlantis the city, then I see some luscious John icons or McShep ones or....GAH. Choices! Too! Many! Choices!

From:

I must admit, I have a handful of icons I use most often, but I love trying to pair my icon in a comment response with the icon of the person that I'm responding to--or if not that, then reflecting something that is said in the comments with the appropriate icon.

I was in the too many choices boat for sure until I got the gift of extra user pics. I haven't quite filled them all up yet--now that I've satisfied the initial rush, I find that I can wait for an icon that really speaks to me now.

From:

Ha! I noticed that you did that!! I thought it was cool,
so I started trying to do the same thing! Only I lack sufficient icons! woe!

Like this one? Snag it, if you want! :o)

From:

That one is lovely! Who made it (so I can credit properly) :-)

From:

That one's by mella_68 - she did the joe/david con ones, too.

It's sad when you reach 100 and want to add a new one or two, so you have to start picking through the ones you seldom use to make room for more, isn't it?

In looking at mine, I have way too many coffee ones. *g*

From:

See, now, you caught me out there: I'm not sure I could ever have enough coffee icons. *grin*

From:

Oh, I like that one! :o)

From:

Thank you! I have the one you used here too!

Yes, I shifted some of my 'seasonal' ones to make way for some of the ones that really mattered to me *coughVegascough*.

Hey, I love mischief's typewriter icons, so I can sympathize! If they had a Pepsi icon, I'm sure I'd be all over it.

Pepsi:Madison as Spinach:Popeye. :-)

From:

I'm a total icon slut. I could have 400+ of them, and it makes me roll in glee!

I think I have a nice variety of icons (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=gottalovev) (I prefer the simple kind, generally) so you can go check who made them and browse from there =D

this one *points* is probably my favorite John icon. I dubbed it flyboy ♥

Oh. Wow. *stares at you in admiration*

From:

the icons packages (on top of the ones I had with the account) were totally a gift from me to me after a bad day.

it worked.

♥_♥

When I had less spots, it would break my heart to put some icons down to bring on new ones. how sad is that?

I know! And then I discovered that when you replace icons, LJ will substitute your default icon in the OP where the former icon was present. Oh noes! I couldn't have that! :-)

From:

ha! I learned that too at one point and it bothered my OCD tendencies so much. that's why I now label the icons with a generic name and if I change it, I take a new one that can take its place. *nods*

this one is john >:(

;)

From:

Hubba, hubba!

I think my default icon works very nicely as a response to yours--same intensity! But oh, there's something about B&W, isn't there?

From:

Mr Intensity is in the house!

yeah, I am a sucker for B&W.

though orange is not that bad either ;)

From:

I have to say, I'm not a huge orange fan, though I've seen it used to good effect. I'm more a blue-green person myself. :-)

From:

*uses obligatory John/Atlantis icon*

;)

From:

*loves*

Knew you'd win any 'challenge' I threw your way--I just wanted to see the icons you'd use!

From:

From:

ARGH! Thank you! *whimpers* This is all going to be painful...in a lovely, wonderful kind of way. :)

From:

icon shopping is awesome... in a OMG-I-DON'T-KNOW-HOW-I'LL-CHOOSE-HELP-ME!!!!! way! ;)

From:

Oh, wow, that's an awesome collection! i still love, love, the 'knows what boys want' John one! *g*

I think it's fun to see what keywords people use for their icons, too.

I think this might be my favorite John one...

From:

:)

I like the "knows what boys like" way better now, you know why! ;)

ah, yes! I try to make my keywords reusable, but sometimes i can't resist making a commentary of it ;)

that's a great pan down John, I APPROVE *licks him like a tootsie roll*

From:

Oh, cool post! I'm the same - it's so hard to narrow it down to the, what, 17 to 19 icons that come when you have a paid account? So I paid for more, and now I have around 100, and it's not enough!! I need more that express my glee and squee and every li'l mood, you know?

It's a slippery slope, is what it is!

I like this one a lot. You're welcome to look at mine and take what you'd like, as well. I've tried to credit as well, but, like Mads, I got a few of them before I understood how you were supposed to do that. (Still not sure I do it exactly right.)

Mischief and danceswithgary and haruechan and from_the_corner are all gifted icon makers, among others, so you should check them out, for sure.

I can't wait to see the other responses to this post! :o)

From:

That whole slippery slope is exactly what I'm afraid of! But clearly not THAT afraid, as nothing is apparently stopping me here. LOL!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Yes, yes, yes! I suck at names and am terrible about remembering things like that, which is why when I save an icon now, especially if I'm not planning to use it right away, I add the creator's name to the file.

Most of my favorite icon makers have moved on from SGA but they may still have those posts up if you're willing to look for them. The incomparable

beeej,

newkidfan,

aesc, and

elli to name just a few. Some still in the fandom (maybe):

jenniferjensen,

shadowserenity,

casett,

ailurophile6,

obaona, and

mashimero.

chck does the greatest little chibi icons I've ever seen. Those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

I have a number of adoption posts on my LJ. Just click on the "icons" tag. Good luck in your search!

PS You don't really have to worry about tags on this comm but "icons" would do nicely. :)

From:

EEEE! Thanks for the great resource list here! :-)

From:

em_kellesvig

But there are so many others I can't remember! Mez listed some! Check them out too!
