20+4 multifandom icons for retro_icontest
Apr. 16th, 2026 10:10 pmThe current round at retro_icontest is a Random Art Prompts challenge from
20muses, and it was very unusual. The main prompt was to "icon the first thing that pops into your head when you read these 20 prompts". I also tried to incorporate as many of the provided art works as textures. Omg the resulting set is all over the place. :D
Teasers:
( 20+4 multifandom icons, mostly old, rare, and strange :D )

100fandomicons table for 2026
Apr. 12th, 2026 10:52 pmOoops it's April already, and I haven't posted my
100fandomicons table for 2026 yet! Okay, then, here it is! There are already 23 icons in it, and it needs to be filled by the end of November. So far that's looking good. All of these icons have been posted to my journal before, the challenge states they have to be made between my signup dates (Dec 25 to Nov 26) but not specifically for this challenge, and I love to make full use of that and try not to make any specifically until the very end. Lets see how that will go this year.

Apr. 11th, 2026 06:16 pmI just reupped my Dreamwidth blog for another year, though I realize I don't post much. I think of blog topics when away from my computer, then realize I'm reluctant to clog the constant stream Out There with my socially awkward and clueless maunderings.
But briefly: writing a lot, reading some. Of late, Katherine Arden's The Unicorn Hunters, which I really enjoyed a lot. Also going, Emily Tesh's The Incandescence, which is dark academia from the faculty POV, and the worldbuilding actually makes sense. Tesh thought about what magic in the world would be like. This is my walking book (audiobook).
Speaking of: it's dog walking time, which means some more Incandescence!
