And OH MY GOODNESS thank you for the compliment! I owe it all to Ryan, I probably would have selected something else left to my own devices (you see how many variations I have. There can never be enough Anne icons. NEVER.)
most creative is an AWESOME one to win as well - that's a kickass category
I don't know why I wanted to win that catagory specifically but I'm so pleased. I guess it's like, Ok I've won best crop - I KNOW I can crop with the best of them, so I guess that was another level to me? Because yeah, like you said, kickass. It seems to mean different things to different people (like degree of technical difficulty) but for me it's about originality and imagination. And, did it make me feel something (laugh, cry, whatever?) Like, kwritten's "Dawn = key" icon got my vote for MC because it took me a minute to figure out what was going on and then I laughed out loud.
(the way Tara cups Willow's face is beyond adorable and desperate and comforting at the same time).
Right? I think if I knew how to achieve better image quality the W/T icons and the Body/Entropy one in particular might have gotten more votes.
Did you notice the Spuffy comparison in some of the icons? I think that's something that I need a bigger canvas for. Because I think the show continually parallels Willow and Tara with Buffy and her lovers in a given season - with Briley in S4 to establish that W/T are just as legitimate and "real" a couple; and then W/T and B/S - their relationships take opposite trajectories (from spiritual handfasting to sensuality and raw carnality for W/T; the opposite for B/S. LOVE the matching FtB shots, the handfasting parallels.) W/T is constantly paralleled to Buffy in ways that Xander and Anya simply aren't (until Entropy and Selfless.)
mine actually improved the older I got
I'd be envious except for this:
which just means when my eyes do deteriorate like my grandmother's did I'm going to be quite seriously affected. I feels ya. To the future! - not)
