and your shrink ran off to europe and he didn't even write

Okay, here's a fun game. Pimp me some good icon communities/icon makers? Off the beaten path, maybe? I'm looking for good Doctor Who icons particularly, also good Office and NCIS icons, also some good icons of hot chicks like Pauley P. and Billie P. And any good icons from graphic novels/indie comics (not DC or Marvelverse, IOW), them I want too!

I trawl pimpicons and good_fanicons pretty regularly, so I know the folks who post in those comms, or at least can find 'em.

As for individual artists and designers, slodwick, winter_baby, occasionally septicemic and even more rarely nullsechs are the champ icon makers on my default flist; I also spend time with saava and _jems_ and teh_indy, and several of the other icon artists of worldwide renown and consistent genius.

Some hidden gems I've found include nihil_est, who has a great and grungy style, and tamaduh which might in fact be two people, both of whom are awesome. The same can be said for hellopublic which may also be two people, the one I like is radiovolume.

Who do you like?

OH ALSO. EIGHT MORE DAYS to sign up for sitcomathon.

This is NOT directed toward likethesun2, mazily, tangleofthorns, circusgirl and sloganeer (Whoops! Yay!), all of whom I am confident need no prodding and will be all signed up-like come the Day of Reckoning.

No, this goes out to the rest of you, people who don't do ficathons or are scared or might just let this one slip by. First off -- it's not exclusively devoted to crossover; there are plenty of single fandom requests (Jim/Pam! Joey/Chandler! JD/Cox!) to request or ultimately write. You only need to know THREE SITCOMS to be eligible, and everyone here had BETTER know three sitcoms or I'm defriending your asses. And then you've got three months, till Halloween, to write 500 stinkin' words! And your reward will be a fat, juicy archive full of sitcom fic. And while that will still be superfantastic with 30 participants, imagine the fantasticatude with a HUNDRED participants! Um. Sign up for sitcomathon. It's the right thing to do.

(Which reminds me, thassalia, my T&L IS coming, slowly, but coming!)

I'm really grooving on call_me_daisy's icons right now, for one. And actually people have named all of my other favorite sources, so that's it.

I do plan on signing up; it's just I'm in the middle of watching two--not one, but TWO--relevant shows, and I want to finish 'em off or at least see a little more so I can tell if I can write them. Because originally my sign-up comment was going to be "...I can write about two fandoms and then a few others if you put a gun to my head." And that was just silly.

But: so excited! So many good writers!
