[livejournal] anniversary and icons

[escritoireazul]

Aww, I missed my anniversary. Three years ago yesterday I started this journal for all my fandom activity. Though sometimes I feel a little split, I'm really glad I did it, because I've had a ton of fun here, and you guys are extremely awesome.

Since then I've posted 692 posts and 2387 comments.

Recently, Nikita bought me more paid time and more icons, and as I've been looking at which ones I want to upload, I've spent a lot of time looking through my various icon folders. It made me wonder how you organize your icons. I do them by fandom, mostly, though there are specific actors who get their own folders (Michelle Rodriguez, Eliza Dushku, and Vin Diesel) which are then broken down by fandom.

I really like icons.

Wow, your icons are much more organized than mine. Mine are all in a big folder called ICONS, which has three subfolders: POPICONS (for Popularverse icons, since they go onto a different file on my server), ANIMATED, and NEW (as in icons I'm currently working on.) I do separate them by subject in the file name, though; they're things like eliza.masochist (for this one):

or charisma.18wheelertruck (for this one):

If it's an icon by someone else, I begin the file name with the LJ username of the artist responsible, in all caps, and then proceed as I normally would. Like MYHAPPYFACE.ca.goodyouhealquick (for this one):

or BA4EVER.carly.radiantsmile (for this one):

Er . . . that's more information than you wanted, yeah?

Oh, and happy anniversary!

No, that is not too much information, I love information!

I may have more folder organization than you do, but you have much more information in the file names. I pretty much just save them however the maker named them, but add "by [maker]" so I can credit when I upload.

The Icon folder is actually a part of my Manipulated Pictures folder, which includes, well, any manipulated pictures I've done or am working on, from ads for work to fanart, etc. In the MP folder, I have an In Progress folder which has an obvious use. Once icons are completed, I save them into the Icon folder under [fandom].

I love organization. Love it.
