Love icons? Upload one for the Fanlore Icon article

[sherrold]

Love Icons -- sure, we (almost) all do!

And yet, the Icon article at Fanlore is a sad stub of an article.

I recently read a post by yourlibrarian that was a class presentation on icons, here:
http://yourlibrarian.dreamwidth.org/269539.html, and it made me realize all the Fanlore article could be.

It's possible that anyone looking at the article is just daunted by the problem of finding characteristic icons, getting permission, and uploading them -- which is why I'm posting.

If we each uploaded one of our own/one that we had permission for (using categories already in the article, categories in yourlibrarian's article, or new categories altogether), it would be awesome in no time.

Icon article:

And plenty of other articles could be cheered up by the addition of an icon or three...

That's an awesome idea. I should look back at the Fanfiction Symposium piece I wrote about icons a zillion years ago and see if it's worth quoting anywhere in the fanlore entry...

I have icons that I've made that I could add, but, yes, I'm daunted by just figuring out what would suit!

I have added two icons to the article. It probably needs expressing better, but at least there are some examples now.

If I could figure out a category, I'd add this one. It's my first one and basically, what I thought we do -- changing a source, making the phalli dance.
