pepper: Pepperpot (Scarily intense)
I feel like I've not been around much lately. It's not exactly true; I have been lurking, and posting comments in other people's journals, but I've been much less verbose in my own lj. Lack of fannish energy at the moment. Anything I do have, I'm trying to concentrate it in my [profile] reel_sg1  fic, which I have a hope of finishing on time, despite the fact that it's surprisingly long. I think that's because I've kind of got a structure there to work from - i.e. the film for which I'm doing the crossover.

The apocafic is still late, and getting later - but I figure that's already majorly late, so I'll try and do the ficathon fics I have a chance of getting done on time, and then focus on that. It makes sense in my mind.

Also, I pretty much know what I want to write for [profile] sg1_by_hand, omg. But I might need to read up some good fics along that theme - or track down some comms that have information on how to write that sort of stuff. Anyone got any good recommendations? *g*

What else is new... I was thinking of this the other day: nonplussed! Why the confusion with this word? Many times I have seen it, and wanted to tell the writer, "I do not think it means what you think it means." I used it myself in a fic the other day, and debated for a moment whether I should change it, as people might misunderstand. But I have decided, NO! I shall promote good use of the word nonplussed (n. "A state of utter perplexity.").

Oh, and I made an animated icon that said, "Stargate. It's all about the hair.", but it's too big. I must sacrifice some of the Stargate hair pictures to be able to use it on LJ. But it's very difficult to choose which to drop. I can't drop Teal'c's frightening hair from Gamekeeper, or beard from Small Victories, or the pic from Redemption when he was finally allowed to grow his own hair, or Sam's greasy mop from Beneath The Surface, or her non-regulation long locks from just before that, or her mad hair after she takes the life jacket off in Moebius, or Daniel's hair from Need (evil bouffant omg!), or his pudding-basin cut from Into The Fire, or his hideous, hideous wig in Moebius. Jack, strangely, doesn't seem to actually have truly bad hair in any pics I can find, but I can't drop his lovely unshavenness in 2010, or the ruffled look from Fallen, or the strange dye-job from Moebius (Moebius is THE hair episode, I've decided).

Stargate: it really is all about the hair.


That's my brain for today.

Okay, what do you use to make animated icons? Because I feel like this should work for you. I've made icons with a fair number of frames in them, and kept them under the 40kb. Would you be interested in sending me the frames and telling me what you want it to do, and I can run it through PSP's animation shop and see what pops out?

I mean, obviously I could be wrong, but it's worth a try!

I use Adobe ImageReady - so they're PSDs or gifs. Would either of those work? Because, yay! You'd be very kind.

I'm just emailing them to you now.

p.s. The gif I sent has the timing I'm trying to give it.
