Icon meme

[smallhobbit]

A couple of my flist have done this, so I thought I'd have a go too!  The idea is to explain about three chosen icons.

Firstly moth2fic  and clarasteam  both chose this:


I like penguins.  I have a penguin!Sherlock series: A Case of Penguins I've written other penguin fics.

moth2fic  also suggested these:


Mouselet, part of the Ocelot Tales A small mouse, happily in love with Inspector Hopkins, helps make costumes for the Ferret and joins in with his performances.  Correspondent for the Marylebone Monthly Illustrated.  Great fun to write - ACD Sherlock Holmes.


I'm a mod at ushobwri , which is a writing community for the support of all writers of fanfic and original fics.  There are twice weekly posts for eleven months of the year, but November is MiFuNoSo when we post daily and encourage everyone, whether or not they are participating in NaNo to write something (however short) every day.  Do join us!

clarasteam  also suggested:


One of my two Welsh dragons - one comes from Castell Coch, one from Cardiff Castle.  I am pro-dragon.  And although not Welsh, I support the Welsh Rugby Union team.


Pansies.  This is cropped from one of my photos of the pots in our back garden.  We have a lot of pansies.  I like them because they are cheerful and many colours.

If you wish to take part in this meme, drop me a note in the comments.

I have also written penguin fic (in SGA) and have now subscribed to your series! I haven't actually got as far as reading any of it yet. I like this meme - it's nice to know about other people's icons when they aren't obvious (like fandom ones).

[smallhobbit]

Penguin fics forever! I like your icon :)

[moth2fic]

It was created for me as a gift from a friend in SGA fandom. Sadly, she has left fandom and may no longer be alive. We lost touch when she began to suffer from Parkinson's Disease and stopped communicating. We knew each other in real life but she was living in Lincolnshire and I have hesitated to contact her husband, whom I don't know.

All your icons are very nice.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

I'm still very fond of your Violet Hunter icon ^__^

You really do have an interesting selection of icons ^__^ I particularly like the pansy one because the flowers and pot make for such an interesting shape, as well as being colourful.

[smallhobbit]

Here, just for you!

I think it was a comment you made which encouraged me to use the pansy one, and I do like it - it's great for generic happy comments.

Welsh Dragon! I thought it might be so :) I have some Krakow dragons plus Welsh so dragon love ahoy!

Also hello from W!

Very pretty colourful panises! Are they hard to grow?

And happy to play :)

[smallhobbit]

Yay, for other dragon lovers. I do like your icon.

Pansies are easy to grow - we tend to buy a tray each year, put them in tubs and they do their own thing. They also self-seed, so every year we get some which come up by themselves.

I choose your icons with descriptions:
Full Fox red
Cat and flowers
Tea with milk

Ha! I'm familiar with the red dragons and Welsh rugby, having spent three years living in Cardiff. I recall whenever there was a match on, the mood of the city was quite civilised and the crowds peaceful.

[smallhobbit]

Yes, proper rugby fans. Enjoy the game and want others to do so too.

[clarasteam]

hurrah for penguins, Welsh dragons, and pansies!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.
