Icon meme

[katherine_b]

Snagged from juliet316. Comment on this post and I'll pick six of your icons, then you'll post and explain why you have them as your icons. In turn, if I comment on your icon post, you pick six of my icons and I'll explain here why I have them. Juliet picked:

Made by syliasyliasylia. *g* This is for those moments when there really isn't anything else to say. I also wanted a few non-fandom-specific icons, and this is definitely my most used.

Made by katherine_b. Ah, the Chalet School. Basis of my book a series very dear to my heart.

Made by 10_rose. Ah, yes. I am far too fond of Doctor!whump, so I needed an icon for it. (You didn't think you'd get more than that out of me, did you? *g*)

Made by juliet316. One of the most artistic icons in my collection, and I'm not just saying that because the creator prompted this meme. I adore both the look of the icon and the scene it comes from. Nine's understated grief and pain is palpable here, and probably all the more so because he says nothing.

Made by moonsetsky. I do love a bit of cheek in my icons, and the expressions on the faces of 10 and 10.5 here are priceless and perfect. Not an icon I use often, but I do love it!

Made by ? I needed an icon for part 5 of In Dreams and I knew this was perfect the instant I found it in my icon collection. The pain on both the Doctor and Donna's faces, as well as the gold colouring - it's as if it was made with the story in mind!

Jen gave me these:

"Okay, this is weird."
"What? I quite like it!"
"Oh, come on! An entire world of blue? This jacket was plum when I put it on this morning!"
"Well, it's got to do with the wavelengths and the air here. Things aren't actually blue. They just look blue because of the way you see things."
"Are you saying my eyes are weird?"
"No, I'm saying this planet is weird! I mean, even the clouds are strange."
"They look like words."
"Exactly. No, don't go any closer, Donna. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Doctor, why did you take that purple dress I got in Pompeii?"
"Um... I was going to wash it for you!"
"Really?"
"You don't believe me? Donna, I'm crushed!"
"I just don't trust that look on your face, mate! You're not thinking about the way I looked in it, are you?"
"What, me?" *chokes* "Never! Definitely not thinking about the way your boobs were... um..."
"Sick Martian!"
*slap*

"You know, you could have worn that blue suit, just so we looked different."
"It's your turn! And besides, everyone's dressed up here! If you'd taken decent care of it so it wasn't so worn, I wouldn't mind it so much."
"Me? You shouldn't even be here! You're a statistical impossibility!"
"And you're careless! How else can you explain leaving your old body parts lying around?"
"Oh, and you're so much better!"
"Have you seen Donna's room? Of course I am! I get my tidy habits from her!"
"Hah!"

"So who do you think's going to win, darling?"
"Well, usually I'd put money on the Doctor, but Mum's got that murderous look in her eye."
"I'm surprised at the Doctor, you know. I mean, it was pretty stupid of him."
"I did warn him! 'Don't just blurt it out,' I said. 'Ease into it gently. Mum won't appreciate a shock like that without warning.' But he didn't listen."
"I'll say. Still, I suppose he's just a bit excited about becoming a dad and all."
"Oh, you have no idea..."

"Is that better?"
"A little bit." *pathetic sniff* "Still feel awful."
"Doctor, are you sure that hugs are going to do any good?"
"Donna, hugs are scientifically proven to help cure any Time Lord diseases."
"So you're sure I won't catch anything?"
"Nope, this is definitely just a Time Lord disease. Absolutely. Not a chance at all."
"You know, you don't feel too sick."
"Well, I'm feeling a bit better now. You do give the best hugs, Donna."
"So you'll be letting go any minute then?"
"Now, I never said I was feeling that much better..."

*hopes Donna is seeing this* Why, yes, I'm suave and sophisticated, and I can drive really fast.
"Spaceman?"
"Oh, hello, Donna! Facing seeing you here? Did you see my lap time?"
"Not as good as Rose's, I noticed. And when exactly did you decide that brown velvet would make a good suit?"
"You're the one who's always having a go at me for wearing pinstripes!"
*rolls eyes* *sound of slap*

So there you go. Please post and I'm happy to go through your icons and pick six I'd like to hear about.

Let's see you pick six out of 375 (hears Kayla meeping again).

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* You're an evil wench! All right then, challenge accepted:

[juliet316]

Done!

and I knew I should have added the keywords to your icons when I posted your selections *eyes you and protects Marvin*

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* Perhaps you should have. Oh, well, too late now!

[time-converges.livejournal.com]

The third one is the Doctor sleeping, of course. *hides Marvin*

I'll play! :)

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* Yes, dear... *prepares Marvin for the inevitable*

[time-converges.livejournal.com]

I just added these to the prior post, and I'm off to pick 6 of yours! :D

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[juliet316]

*snorfles at the comment!fics*

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

Glad they amused you! I could redo some of your choices the same way if you like...

[juliet316]

Nah, I'm good. :-)

[juliet316]

*hides Marvin*

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*cackles*

[juliet316]

Don't make your fans hurt you! Marvin would be very upset.

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

Yes, it will would be very bad indeed...

[juliet316]

*eyes you*

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

[juliet316]

Nor with Time Lords.

[elfgirljen.livejournal.com]

me please!

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

Here you go:

[time-converges.livejournal.com]

Hee!! I love the stories so much! Especially the toga one, and the Wilf and Donna one (timebaby!), and the hugging one...okay, I love them all!
♥

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* So glad you do! They were fun!

[luinel-anduril.livejournal.com]

i love my icons, i love your icons, i love many friends' icons. Why can't i have more userpics without forking over more cash? This sounds like a conspiracy to me!!! @juliet316 (or anyone else, for that matter), how on earth do you get to have more than 100???

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* LJ announced a few weeks ago that it's possible to purchase more icons. The only way to get more than 100 userpics on an account is to buy a permanent account, which has 202. Check the FAQ here for more.

[luinel-anduril.livejournal.com]

My, that's confusing. i still don't have a "confused" userpic. i'm almost out of userpic space, actually. Ho hum.

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

It can be a bit. And you may have to do a prune...

[luinel-anduril.livejournal.com]

Wha??? i'm confused. What does a prune have to do with anything? Other than remind me of that song i learned at camp over a decade ago....

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

What I meant was, if you're running out of space for icons, you might have to get rid of some, in the same way that you prune plants in the garden. ;-)

[luinel-anduril.livejournal.com]

ooo, i get it. i was thinking of the fruit. Yeah, i've been doing that, but i'll probably have to do it even more.

[loves-glamour.livejournal.com]

"What, me?" *chokes* "Never! Definitely not thinking about the way your boobs were... um..."
"Sick Martian!"
*slap*

ROFL! XD LOVE THAT!

And the scene with Wilfles and Donna betting on who's going to win the argument :D Mini fics ftw!

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* So glad you enjoyed them! Yes, mini fics are fun!

[sykira]

OOH ficlets! I love them! Especially the blue world and the Babyfic one, I will always see her as preggers in that one now, it's perfect all soft focus!

I owe you a bunch of comments, and I'm behind on everything, but can you pick some of my icons too? I can't resist this lovely game :D

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

*lol* It is a little bit soft focus, isn't it?

As for icons for you, hmmm...

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Me too please! *bounces*

[katherine-b.livejournal.com]

All right!
