ICON, ICON, I CAN HAZ ICONS?

Show us some of your favorite Pilots icons!

1) Copy and paste them in your comments (for those unsure how to do this, go to your profile then manage userpics, right-click on the one you want and scroll down to properties, copy the address line and paste into your comment with the tags <ximg srcx="address herex"x> sans red "x"es.)

2) Name the icon maker and tell us a couple sentences about why that particular icon is a favorite for you.

K/L: SMOOCH by

There's something about this particular shot of their Kiss from Home pt. 1 that I just love. I don't know if the icon maker had to do much besides crop it (from stills or promotional footage of the kiss that didn't actually end up gettng aired!) but nevertheless I love that you get to see both their faces at this angle, no one's head is blocking the way, and esp. the luminescence of Katee's skin and hair agains the rather drab background. And what can I say, I love how smooshed togehter their faces are. That's a serious frakking kiss. That's a kiss that means BUSINESS. It's no quick peck on the lips which is what we kinda ended up getting in the episode. Let's face it, kids: there would no doubt have been some SEXING ON KOBOL if that was the kind of kiss they'd shared!!

K/L: Oath Kiss by

Another kissyface icon (I have, um, a lot of these)! This one is of course just so pretty and romantic with all the sparkles. (I kinda have a thing for sparkles). And I love that a different angle of the kiss is captured in the little inset box too. I also think of this one as my official Smutstrav icon, because it's mutiny-centric and I used it on all my smutstrav posts. So good allusions there!

K/L: Doing What by

This is one of my favorite text icons, because it's just the perfect caption for this picture and Kara and Lee's outraged faces!) Plus it's so versatile really! Someone starts spouting off crack fic ideas starring K and L as the leads from Grease or something crazy like that, then bam: there's your icon! You write some especially dirty hijinx for them to get up to in your latest fic: Heck yeah, it works! It has many possible uses this one!

K/L: Snugglepuppies by ME!
So I am not a very good icon maker. I have no lovely programs other than the dreaded MS Paint and that's so limited I can't even lighten/darken images very well. But, there's something really satisfying about knowing you want a certain icon you can't find and then just going forth and making it. I have such a kink for snuggly pilots and this is our only really snuggly moment (that doesn't immediately turn into disaster) and it just kinda makes me happy, even as goofy as it is.
