Thank you for the nominations and awards!

* Thank you to the voters at [livejournal.com profile] actress_ic Challenge 111 for voting my Lillian Gish icon Best Crop, and congratulations to the other winners [livejournal.com profile] erinm_4600, [livejournal.com profile] dragonydreams, [livejournal.com profile] vampgirl_nisha, [livejournal.com profile] ciuciuvaraworld, [livejournal.com profile] sandy79 and [livejournal.com profile] mops1980! This is my first time entering this icontest and it's very encouraging.
Thanks as ever to my darling beta-Muse [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip for her input. My entries this round are dedicated to her because of our shared love of silent films; and she requested the Alice Joyce icon, introducing me to an actress I'd never heard of before.

1-4 are my entries, 5-6 the alts. 1, 2 & 5: Lillian Gish; 5: Dorothy Mackaill; 4, 6: Alice Joyce

Speaking of betas, the final slate of nominations for Round 11 of rwsawards have been posted and THANK YOU to the darling person who surprised me with a Best Beta nomination!  I understand these awards are judged (rather than popular vote) and thank goodness; becaus I can find so many of my favorite fics of the last year in any given category, I'd be paralyzed with indecision. I don't envy the judges one bit; the nominations slate is a Who's Who of some of the very best writers and artists in Buffyverse fandom right now. I'd name off all my friends who have been nominated but we'd be here all day so, trust, you're better off checking it out for yourself.

ETA: I forgot to mention that there's a tiebreaker post for [livejournal.com profile] slayerstillness for Challenge 61 going on right now. Oops. ( I shall have to go harrass poor [livejournal.com profile] feliciacraft.)

Congrats, and yay for silent movies! I can't remember if I've seen any of Mackaill's or Joyce's movies, but Lillian Gish was brilliant, and these are gorgeous - I especially like #4 and #5.

Very pretty! I like #1 and #3 but they are all very sweet and old fashioned looking, which fits the subjects.

Congrats on your nomination and your win! The Best Crop icon is so pretty! I love the way you framed her face.

Back in the LJ lands. Yaaaay!

First of all CONGRATS on your winnings/nominations. I saw that you also won some pretty things at slayerstillness just now! Also, PRETTIES! I don't know who these actresses are but their faces are so pretty and your icons are perfect for the retrĂ² style. I can't even choose. Maybe icon 3 for the clarity and the soft pink? Or maybe 6, 4, 1 and all of them?

Congrats on your win and your nomination for best beta. :)
