blah blah icons. no drabble. heart.

This is a post about whining, unlike my other posts which are always filled with joy. :p

*kicks at icons*

I'm hoping to post the ones I made from 3.03 today if I get them done. There's over 50 so far because I couldn't and can't stop and I didn't even icon the one scene. And I'm probably not iconing another certain scene.

And chances are I'll maybe get two comments on them and that's fine, I guess. I just. I dunno. (ps. That's not a hint to go running and comment on the icons if/when they're posted - just stating the facts, ma'am.)

:yawns:

Sometimes I'll see people using icons that I've made but they didn't comment and I wonder, is taking an icon without commenting the same as reading a fic without leaving feedback?

I think Thursdays will be my day of rest on the Let Sam Eat drabble front because hey, today could be the day.

I love if you tilt your head a little Jared's mouth looks like heart.

Well HOLY BA-MOLY, it does. Nice.

is taking an icon without commenting the same as reading a fic without leaving feedback yup, I reckon so, except easier to catch without having to resort to using the ever paranoia-inducing ljtoys.

That's obviously because his mouth is lovable. Hrm. Maybe that's why the no eating? So we can always see it?

I think no, it seems worse somehow.

I'm looking forward to the icons, even without those certain scenes.

How goes it today?

Heee.

"You want a piece of me?!"
"I want the whole damn thing."

But if he ate it'd move and wrap around food and he might lick his lips and it'd bring more attention to them.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Worse, really? Hmm. I was thinking either the same or not as bad.

:) I like you.

So far it's okay but I've only been up for an hour and a half.

And yours?

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

I sometimes (often, lately) don't leave feedback on fic or comment on icons and I know that's sucky but I don't think they're quite the same thing. Well, I feel worse about not leaving fb for a fic than saying "I took this and that icon, will credit", especially if the icon maker already has a lot of comments because I am not adding anything whatsoever and I just assume that it doesn't matter too much. I should still do it though, I know.

Because I'm an idiot I tilted my head the wrong way and thought "hmm, I can't see... wait" and tilted it the otehr way. You're right. That is awesome.

[fiddleyoumust.livejournal.com]

I like you too. :)

I'm good, cleaning off my dad's work bench in the garage... and it's SCARY. I'm just randomly throwing away what I don't understand or recognize. Which is mostly everything. Boys have weird shit.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I agree somewhat, I suck at leaving feedback and I don't like leaving comments on icons that already have a lot of comment, but I don't like leaving comments on either if the poster doesn't say "thanks" in any shape or form for the comments they receive.

Hahaha. *ahem*

[affectingly.livejournal.com]

I used to make icons, too. I wasn't half bad, but yeah... it gets frustrating when no one comments. But anyway, I guess as someone who both has been an icon maker and is a fanfic author, I can compare? I think it's just been drummed into fandom more that it's the polite thing to do with fic...leave a comment if you enjoyed it. Whereas I think people might think that if they're taking the icons and crediting them, then you'll obviously be able to tell they enjoyed them, so why bother commenting? Or... maybe because the effort in saving/uploading new icons is such a pain in the ass, they don't want to bother with leaving a comment, too? I'm not really sure... Or maybe in the process of all that, they just forget. Who knows... when I was an icon maker, I counted myself lucky if someone at least credited me, ya know?

Graphic work is so often thankless and it's also really hard. Much harder than writing, anyway. At least with writing, yeah, there's always room for improvement, but once you've established your own writing style, there's really no need to switch it up too much. Whereas as an icon maker, you're constantly having to evolve with the new trends and styles and techniques, try to come up with your own, too... it's just a big headache.

Okay, so.. now that I've rambled, I'll be going now. Also, I think you do wonderful graphic work.

OMG SMIDGE IT SO DOES. JARED IS HEARTY MOUTHED.

Oh, god i love you for pointing that out.

IMO not exactly,but pretty much-yeah.I mean,you can read a fic and didn't like it or get dissapointed and this is the case of "better say nothing".But when you take an icon,that means that you like it,so you can take 30 seconds of your time to comment and let the person who made it know!Both graphic makers and writers don't get paid for creating their stuff,so fb is sort of a pay!
Thats the way I see it anyways.

*helps*

Hopefully you don't throw out anything important or sentimental.

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

Ps. I always comment fic - unless IT'S REALLY BAD, cuz it's just freaking RUDE and IGNORANT to read something someone wrote and NOT comment.

People who don't comment when they enjoy a fic PISS ME OFF, as you can see.

Icons - I dunno. I tend to comment the ones I love, and not say anything about the ones I just like a little - but it takes a LOT for me to use anyone's icons but my own, even though I know the ones out there are a zillion times better than mine. But when I do - it's more like "OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH PLEASE CAN I USE IT OMG".

But I only use 3 or 4 or 5 that belong to other people - and 2 were made for me. so.

I was just no help at ALL. LMAO.

But I think if you read someone's fic, your lazy fucking ass should take a second and COMMENT. And if you take someone's icon - FREAKING TELL THEM SO.

Yeah, pretty much. *frowns*
Your icons kick ass, hon.

Haha, the Let Sam Eat drabble front. If it doesn't happen tonight, I just might have to do some drabbles myself.

It does look like a heart!!!! *love*

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

hee! heart-shaped-mouth


*waits patiently for icons*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Honestly? I'm surprised all the replies to that so far haven't been, 'Duh' because I thought for sure I'd have been near the last to have noticed that.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That is mostly how I was thinking of the whole thing only you said it better

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like the "thanks" when I leave comments, too.


Angel - I'm watching episode 103 and I should probably have watched it while I was watching Buffy S4 but I like Spike and Angel fighting :D

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

everytime I look at your icon, all I can do is picture filthy things. Darling things like hearts and stuff do not figure into the equation. LOL.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I agree even if I suck at commenting on fic.

I always comment fic - unless IT'S REALLY BAD

Is this why you don't comment on mine? :P

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Perhaps if we all ban together and all write drabbles ... uhm, there'll be a lot of drabbles written about Sam eating.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Kurt Cobain was going to write a song about it but he went with "box" instead.

[fourfreedoms.livejournal.com]

No it's worse then reading a fic and not leaving feedback.
