Icon Sticky


I've decided to make a post for all my icon-making endeavors.  Feel free to take and use (with credit) if you want, but this is mostly for my own reference.  Most of these were made for icontests; a few were made just for fun or for my own use.

Just for fun )

'Cause all the cool kids are doing it

Memes are fun.

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

BSG Fanfic: So This Is Freedom

Title: So This Is Freedom
Rating: PG-13 for language and violence
Word Count: 1,500
Characters: Zarek, Meier
A/N: This little fic is proof that if I set my mind to it, I can write a story in two hours. I wrote this for the [info]frak_that challenge. It has not been betaed, so be kind. This takes place just after the events of "Bastille Day." Feedback is much appreciated.

It was all over )

Gaeta

BSG Fic: Beyond the Line (4/10)

Title: Beyond the Line
Rating: T
Word Count: 4,300
Chapter Title: Confrontation
Summary: Felix battles his demons, and his commanding officer faces a sobering reality.
Author's Note: As many of you have guessed, this chapter will contain much angsty angst, including scenes that may be disturbing. I almost increased the rating solely for psychological torture. Buyer beware. All credit for the things I did right goes to [info]lls_mutant, [info]safenthecity, and [info]falafel_musings, without whom this chap would be utterly incomprehensible.

Beta: All my thanks to [info]safenthecity for pulling off a beta read-through on ridiculously short notice.
Author's Note: Yes, I wrote porn. Cue gasps.

Louis hadn't gone to the spare quarters looking for sex )

Bill

BSG Fic: Beyond the Line (2/10)

Here's part two of this ensemble AU.

Title: Beyond the Line
Summary: Felix's arrest triggers retaliation by his supporters, throwing Galactica command into disarray. AU after aDFmS
Rating: T for violence, disturbing themes
Author's Note: Adama fans may be pleased with this chapter, Gaeta fans perhaps less so. Since this is an ensemble piece, the prominence of the characters vary by the chapter. Reviews make my day, so please tell me, even if you hated it.
Betas: [info]safenthecity, [info]falafel_musings, and [info]lls_mutant, I could not have done it without you.
Word Count: 3,600
Chapter Title: Escalation

We may have lucked out )

Gaeta

BSG Fic: "Beyond the Line" (1/10)

So, I'm breaking my own rule and posting the first chapter of this fic before the conclusion is completely written. Partly I'm bowing to [info]rap541's demand for more plotty Gaeta gen fic. Partly, I'm looking to feed my poor deprived muses some reviews to keep them going. Mostly, this is a promise to myself that I will have the last chapters *finished* in short order. I started this back in March, and so far only my three lovely betas have seen it.

Title: Beyond the Line
Summary: After Felix Gaeta is arrested on the eve of the planned mutiny, the crew of Galactica learns that some things are far beyond the control of any one man.
Rating: T for disturbing images/themes later on.
Author's Notes: This piece goes AU after "A Disquiet Follows My Soul" and features an ensemble, though Gaeta and Adama are the focus. Pairings are strictly canon. Reviews are wonderful. Concrit shows you care.
Betas: The inestimable [info]falafel_musings, [info]lls_mutant, and [info]safenthecity
Word Count: 3,500
Chapter Title: Arrested

It was better this way )

Victory is Mine! Sort of . . .

Remember that job interview I was freaking out about? I had the interview Sunday, finally heard back today. The tech set up a three week internship for me, after which I get to sit down with her and the vets and talk about arranging a paying gig. So, I have three weeks to impress them with how quickly I pick things up and *maybe* I'll have a chance at making money this summer. Basically, I have to convince them that after three weeks of training I can keep up with technicians who've been on the job for two or more years. And, we're back to the GULP portion of the program.

Still, three weeks of working is much much better than three weeks of sitting at home watching CSI reruns. I just hope I don't embarrass myself too badly.

I don't consider it a job I don't get paid for; I prefer to think of it as a class *I* don't have to pay for;-)

I report to work on Sunday, so wish me luck!

Icon Meme

Here's a meme tagged from [info]lls_mutant. Anything to distract me.

1. Reply to this post (putting up your hand), and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

All the Pretty Icons

So, I entered a few more icontests at [info]bsg_stillness, [info]bsg_icontest, and [info]bstg_icontest while I was procrastinating over finals. Results are in and I did much better than I expected. Check out the shiny.

Challenge 60 at bsg_stillness was open ended--make icons based on your favorite episode. I chose "Exodus" and ended up with:









Unfortunately, the voters were less than impressed, so I went home with nothing but happy memories from this one. It was fun, though. If [info]episodic100 ever approves my application, I'll go back and do a hundred more icons from that ep.

bsg_icontest was on Challenge 44: Unfinished Business. I entered these icons:






The first one won the "Frakking Cool" award--more commonly known as Mod's choice.

This was my first time entering in bstg_icontest. This community actually runs three challenges per cycle, and this week was cycle 96. I entered in Challenge 2 "Embodiment" where the prompt was to make icons without including faces and Challenge 3 which was based on the Gaetasodes.

Here's Challenge 2:




Suicidal Tyrol won Third Place and Glowy-Spine Athena took Mod's Choice. Poor Kat didn't win anything.

I only entered one icon in Challenge 3




Sweet Eight won Mod's Choice. So, a very good week overall.

I almost forgot; my May entry for the gaeta_squee icontest was



He looks a little like Dr. Manhattan on a bad hair day, doesn't he? That'll teach me to play with colorization filters!
