Comments are treasured. Credit is nice but I don't really care; just don't be a dork and claim you made them, please. I keep my icons in my LJ Scrapbook if you want to browse by character/show.

One final icon, though it is not shareable:
Made for jalabert's brilliant SGA AU slash story, My Fair Liar.
It has a movie poster, too, which was original artwork done by deani_bean.

Yay! The fandom needs more Thor love. *grins*

Thank you for the compliment on the gate icon. I've only just recently started playing with landscape-y icons and it's a whole new set of techniques and coloring. I have a lot of room to grow and learn - I love more conceptual "landscape" icons like the one you're using, for instance - and I'm looking forward to the challenge of playing with it.

Thank you for commenting; I appreciate it.

Wow -- thank you!

*points to icon by pax89* I admit that this is still my all-time favorite Teal'c icon but I have much love for #8, too. CJ has the most incredible eyelashes but they rarely show in caps. I was incredibly excited when I saw that cap; I just knew it had to be made into an icon. Those eyelashes alone deserve an icon. Thank you!

Yay! You know, I put that Sam & Jack up just for you. :) After reading about the msscribe brouhaha, I decided it really was very silly to allow something like pairing preference be a dividing line. I'd had that "Sam Dunes" promo pic for a long time and I really wanted to make it into an icon because it's so visually striking but I never could come up with a crop I liked -- so I combined two. Of course, now I feel honor bound to make some for pairings that I prefer... *grins*

I know what you mean about being at the limit. Darn LJ! I'd happily pay for more icons if they'd let me. I don't need 2 GB of LJ Scrapbook space but another 100 icons would be appreciated. Just knowing that you liked the icons is more than enough for me. Thanks for letting me know, hun.

Thank you! The Stargate fandom is lucky to have a wealth of talented icon makers; I'm honored that you'd consider mine worthy of choosing. Enjoy any you decide to take and thank you for letting me know that you like them!

[majorsamfan.livejournal.com]

You're so good to me!!!

So, what are your fave pairings (SG-1 and SGA and whatever else you wanna include...)???

I keep hearing about some "brouhaha at msscribe". I figure MS must mean Michael Shanks? I don't know though. Wanna enlighten me? Since there's a strike out on the eljay name, does that mean it no longer exists? or did you accidentally put it as a user instead of community, so eljay didn't think it existed?

Yay! I am very happy to see that Teyla icon go to a good home. :) Most of the icons I make are pretty pictures but that one has a lot of symbolism. I've had a hard time finding "character" moments for SGA (well, outside of Rodney) but I love that scene where John bests her after she's been losing sleep to nightmares. She's down but the look of strength and defiance on her face...I love it! I tried to echo her state by the ragged edge on the icon but leaving the majority of it there to signify her strength...Oops. That's probably way more info than you wanted. I just love that icon for its character moment and I'm glad someone who loves Teyla found it worthy.

Icons are only as good as their sources and I've snagged them from various generous souls:
- The SGA caps come mainly from dbw, who has the most stunning, clear screencaps I've seen. You can check out her caps here.
- For SG-1, I'm especially fond of Dedicated to Stargate for the sheer quantity of caps. Because she has so many, it's easy to find some unusual angles that you don't normally see in screen cap collections. I raid from a lot of different sources, actually, and they're all listed in my resources. The caps are listed at the end. If you want more info, don't hesitate to let me know.
- And, of course, I couldn't list caps resources without a plug for the ultra high resolution promo pics at the SGC - Picture archive.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy using them -- thank you for adopting them. Yay for Thor-love!

I was checking out your user profile to see which group I'd posted to brought you here and I just have to comment on your colorbars! I love them, but most especially the ones for Texas and Boys Kissing. Yum!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you for letting me know that you liked them. Enjoy any that you choose to snag.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I admit to being a fan of rich, saturated color. I suppose it's inevitable that my icons are going to reflect that. You're more than welcome to snag any you want. Credit when used is appreciated but I'm not obsessed with it. :) Thanks so much for looking through my icons and letting me know that you liked them.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'm glad you found value in teh icons. *grins* Hope you get much satisfaction in using them. Thank you for letting me know that you liked them. :D

Oh boy, favorite pairings. How long have you got? I tend to prefer gen onscreen** and pairings in my fic.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool slasher so I must give my obligatory nod to Jack/Daniel. They were my OTP for a long time but I've branched out in the last year so pairing matters less than it used to. I'll read almost any slash if it's well-written. Het pairings I like tend to feature Daniel (no, I'm not obsessed much) but include virtually all BUT Jack and Sam. Sadly, forcing it onscreen in awkward ways that I think undermined Sam's strength killed any love I could have had for the pairing. I loved the tension between attraction and respect for a fellow officer I saw in Solitudes and enjoyed it even as late as Into The Fire but by the time it became a knock-off of "the love that dared not speak its name," in Divide and Conquer I never wanted to see it again.

As for SGA, I admit to being far more a fan of the fic than the show. I tend to limit my involvement to reading jalabert and looking at all the gorgeous icons that the fandom produces. Thus, I have an overdeveloped love of Aiden. Any pairing featuring him is likely to make me happy.

As for other fandoms, I'm a long time fan of Fitzwilliam Darcy/Elizabeth Bennet (shockers!) in P&P and of Brian/Justin in my newest, shiniest fandom of QaF. Those are most definitely onscreen romances, though, and there's nothing "gen" about those stories.

As for the msscribe kerfuffle, it isn't even in the SG-1 fandom! It's so huge that it transcends fandoms. It's an amazing tale of a fan who created sock puppets to both support and attack herself. She played along pairing OTP fault lines in the fandom and used racial and religious intolerance to make herself a Big Name Fan in the Harry Potter fandom. It's fascinating reading, but you need a HUGE chunk of time because it's 10 long parts of fact, deductive reasoning, and more thorough documentation than I've seen in criminal trials. I listed it as msscribe because that's the LJ name she used at the time of her antics; she has since gone through a series of LJ names trying to escape her infamy.

** I say I want gen onscreen but honesty forces me to say that I don't mind some romance onscreen if I think it adds to the character or the storyline. Thus, I did enjoy Sam/Martouf, Daniel/Sha'uri, Jack/Sarah, and Teal'c/Drey'ac.

You're welcome and I can't wait to see what kind of landscpae icons you post.

[el-gilliath.livejournal.com]

Big Thor love:D You haven't by chance made any icons of the Nox have you? I adore them too.

Yes, they are lovely:D Feel free to snag as long as you credit the right person!

[wive.livejournal.com]

These are just gorgeous!!

Stealing #23 & 54. They are so clear and the colors.... *sigh*
Will credit when used.

But, but where's Ronon?? ;0)

HUGS!!

[songs-of-winter.livejournal.com]

Grabbed several of the SG-1 icons. Nice job! I will credit.

[tielan]

That's probably way more info than you wanted.

No! It's fine. :) I like hearing about why people chose particular shots or particular phrases - it's interesting to get the background. Like hearing about why someone wrote a story with this line or that angle.

That is a great scene: down but not beaten, and she accepts John's help to get up again - asks for it, actually, by holding out her hand - so not too proud to climb back to her feet with the help of a friend. *loves Teyla*

Thank you for the link to the screencaps. *will try her hand at severely amateur icons and manips*

[graveyard-cat.livejournal.com]

heh, lovely :)

Really good work, well done!!

Snagged the "not so innocent" one

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

Wow! Someone linked me here last night because I have the Teal'c love, and well, now I want them all. :P But at least a Teal'c, a Sam, and definitely "Unas Germs" because I'm marathoning SG-1 in order and I whined about the number of Unas eps last week. I've tried to like them, really. These are ALL just gorgeous.

[paxm.livejournal.com]

Love 22 especially. And 31 -- that shot is one of my favorites! ::hugs::

[doctor-syd.livejournal.com]

Snagged 27, will credit!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Thank you! Glad you like this set, too. :) I'm glad there's an audience for saturated color because it's my preference for playing.

Ronon? Hmm...well, you see, most of the caps I use are from season 1...yeah! that's my excuse! He wasn't in season 1. :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I hope you enjoy using them! Thank you for taking the time to comment; I appreciate it. :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the compliments. :) I hope that you get some good use out of Janet. Thanks for taking the time to tell me liked the post; I appreciate it!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Someone sent you here? I'm -- floored. Please thank the person for me and thank you for giving my icons a look-see. Take what you want and I hope that you get good use out of them. I'm afraid I love the Unas episodes but I couldn't resist the look on his face in that cap. It's too perfect -- and I can see where it would appeal if you aren't an Unas fan. Thank you for the compliment on the icons; I appreciate your taking the time to tell me that you like them. :D

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

*g* Yep, control_freak80 ran across this post in...an icon comm maybe? But she knows my love for Teal'c and pointed out the eyelashes one. I also maybe kinda linked to this post in my journal because I was listing my squee for the day. (So if you get a bunch of strangers over here...yeah.)

The thing is, I can see where the Unas episodes are really some of the smartest the show has done. They're really fascinating anthropological studies and actually what most of the episodes should be on - trying to make connections with aliens that don't speak colloquiel English. I just...kinda fail at the facinatingly anthropological. *sheepish grin*
