[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.

Icons do make for happy shiny. I seriously cannot give mine up.

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!

I love icons! To the point where it's probably bordering on addiction. : )

I must admit, at this time all of my icons are of the Supernatural / Jared / Jensen variety. I have them all in one folder. And then I have sub-folders set up for the specific seasons, a few specific episodes I went icon crazy for, the actors, etc. Plus, one for "rare" icons, meaning you rarely see anyone making icons of those pics.

I don't make my own graphics, so I always save icons under the username of the artist, because I'm completely ocd when it comes to giving credit when I use them.

And no matter how much icon space I have in my journal, it never seems like enough. Isn't that the way it goes? ♥
