Communication

It's always fascinated me how people on [livejournal.com profile] campfuckudie can have long conversations with just their icons, so when the talk-with-icons meme came around, of course I lemminged along. It's been great fun, and I think my favorite part is the thread where a 5- or 6-way gunfight erupted. and I didn't realize exactly how many gun icons I had...wow

Sadly, I don't think I've used all my gun icons in that one...

But yes, highly amusing.

I finally managed to pull out the last one, but I was surprised at how long it lasted. XD

After one post that was icons only, I had a hard time remembering to comment with actual text again. Icons are fuuuuuun.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. XD I have this urge to post all my comments everywhere with just the icon.

It'd work better over on Journalfen, where I've got space for 500 icons and thus have about 150 uploaded so far.

Now I am extremely jealous. And to think, how thrilled we all were when LJ doubled our icons for free.

:D It's even more of a thing on fandom_wank and the various JR communities I hang around to have your post be properly dressed with the appropriate icon, so that 500-icon perk to having a paid account is veeeeery nice. XD

I feel so... so... nonvisual!

But pie is always welcome!

[identity profile] rachelmanija.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the offer of a fresh-baked pie could halt many a gun fight.

I need more gun icons, some artillery icons, and maybe some spaceships firing big guns.

[identity profile] mscongeniality.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I mostly need more snappy comeback icons. :)

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I need more sympathetic and lecherous icons. XD Those are the conversations where I've had to work hard to keep it from going into an exchange of snark.

[identity profile] mscongeniality.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, yes.

I'm also noticing a distinct lack of...erm... 'nice' icons in my repertoire. Oh, and very few chicks as well. ;-)

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew I had very few chick icons to start with. I'll ahve to work on that. XD Offhand the only two I can think of are a Heian woman and Lt. Hawkeye aiming a gun at you.

[identity profile] selenite.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Those can overlap well . . .

I'm replying with the Hiro journal because I'm more used to matching "facial expressions" with this one. Although I have at least 15 icons of him glaring and maybe 4 of him smiling, and half of those are "smiling evilly".

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty amazed at the sheer amount of Sohma interaction going on there. XD *uses only Furuba icon on this journal again*

[identity profile] d-flower.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The cute little fluffy baby sheep icons are my favorite.

He transforms ONCE into a sheep in the entire series. I have been CHEATED.

[identity profile] elfiepike.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
ahahah! that was loads of fun to read. XD

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I love that you can actually follow the conversations. Admittedly, in some of the threads it helps to know the characters, but there's others that are readable by anyone.

[identity profile] jademurasaki.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I started doing this too :)

Damn you Telophase :P

And I joined the community you mentioned in this post becuase it is such a bloody (perhaps the pun is intended...I haven't decided yet) brilliant idea for an online RP! Of course all I can do is post as an audience member at this time, but I started posting icons in that thread too.

Thanks for the new addiction...PIMP!

ROFL!

Hugs,
Jade

I stay faaaaaar away from CFUD as much as I can ... because otherwise it will SUCK UP ALL MY TIME. (I get recced threads now and then, and can't resist and get sucked in.)

They throw open apps every so often, so you'll get your chance soon enough. XD

CFUD sure has sucked up all my time!

I started formulating a new version of Godwin's Law while reading that post:

All threads on Telophase's journal will eventually come back to Sanzo.

Corollary: But that won't be a bad thing.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-31 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm not complaining. *sneaks off and adds to userinfo*

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-01-31 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
All the gunfighting is what's tickling me right now - another one just broke out between me and [livejournal.com profile] cicer. Of course it all sort of goes along with Sanzo.
