Love Sacrificed

Apparently I'm making icons again. Truthfully, I've got a bunch of stock icons waiting to happen and one I made for lgbtrainbow, but I'm kind of switching between just posting those and wanting to collect them for a bit longer. In the mean time, I opted to go for two claims over at dailyicons to kind of force myself to actually make icons instead of just intending to and skipping out on it. In part because I really love the icons others have been making for lgbtrainbow and it really makes me want to get out of my cookie cutter method for making icons. I'm hoping to achieve that with my two claims here. Icons will be updated as I make them (as will the icon count at the top depending on how many alternates I'll end up with.

NOTE: One icon contains spoilers for the season opener of 9-1-1 Lone Star.
NOTE 2: In the general section I also added the icon I made for lgbtrainbow.

So, I've found another host for my icons. I hope it's going to be their home for years to come!

As I don't intend to go back and fix all of the broken links (I've re-uploaded 10,000+ icons and that's not all of the ones I had originally posted!), I decided to put up this master post. It will link to the specific icon folders. Should I ever create new icons (for new fandoms) I will update this list as needed.

Update (07 May 2023): So, the image host (nickpic.host) I had initially picked was shut down. Which means re-uploading everything again. I will update links as I've uploaded them...
Update (13 May 2023): I should hopefully be done with re-uploading everything. Doctor Who and Star Wars weren't as easily separated and a bit messy, but I hope I didn't upload things twice in different folders or completely missed icons.

And here's my second finished claim from insanejournal :)

My second claim for dailyicons is a bit more classic when it comes to my fandom history! I've gone for the Harry Potter males :D

To lift my claims back up to the maximum of 3, I decided to claim Gryffindors for 25 icons over at dailyicons :)

So, after finishing 2 out of 3 20in20s this month, I just had to sign up for another one. I really felt like doing it even if I've been lacking inspiration. A part of me feels that I tend to stay far too safe, going by the same routine for every icon. I think in this my main problem is actually picture choice, followed by going the safe route while making icons - after all I know I tend to like the result of my "standard" icon procedure. Still, being able to icon several different fandoms (even if I don't know all), did help in that regard.

Another part that helped was probably the "off-schedule" timing. The majority of 20in20s go from the 1st to the 20th and this one started on the 20th/21st. A time when my mind isn't pressuring me to just get those sets done :)

Now if only I could get those other things on my to-do list done! There are plenty of fics to post (but I'm still stuck at uploading old ones to Ao3) and a few more to type up and finish. I really need to take stock of which stories I have on my hard drive that are waiting to be posted.

And now I should get to the icons and quit rambling ;D

These were made for round 1 @ bbc_uk_20in20
