If you take icons from this journal, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE credit me (intentocreativo) in your userpic comment section. It makes me very happy to see people using icons that I make - in fact, I still get surprised and feel all warm and fuzzy when I see them in use. But I do spend a lot of time making them, and credit is greatly appreciated.

If you do not know how to credit, I am providing a very easy-to-follow tutorial under the cut.

( As the radio plays old forgotten boleros, I think of the days when the city was mine... )

Is it too early to use my "holiday cheer" icon? I DON'T CARE, I LOVE IT. Plus, I heard Christmas music at the Bath & Body Works yesterday, so I think I'm totally justified. Woo @ holidays being constantly advertised/promoted earlier and earlier! Next thing you know, Christmas stuff will be coming out at the 4th of July! /random tangent

In honor of the fact that I now have over 60 people following this journal (holy cow - thanks, guys!), I'm going to do an icon meme stolen from diana_hawthorne, but without the "you have to repost this in your journal" part.

1.) comment and I'll pick some of your LJ interests and make you an icon (or 2 or 3 ) - or base it on what you have for current icons if you don't have interests.
2.) you have no say in what i make.
3.) these will not be shareable, only for your use - unless you don't care. You're welcome to put whatever you want in your keywords. I know it matters to some people and not to others.

Remember how I asked you all about what I should do for the next round of celeb20in20? Well, one of the benefits of participating is that you get a pretty participation banner. I am absolutely ADORING the banner I got this time around and thought I'd share the prettiness with you guys...

( When doesn't Linus Roache make the world a prettier place? )

And for future reference, all my shiny awards and participation things can be found OVER HERE on this other post that's sticky-noted to the top of this journal.

Suggestions? Demands?

Title: Three...Two...One.
Fandom: Law & Order

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 975
Summary: post-ep for 20x04 "Reality Bites." Mike tries to earn Connie's forgiveness.
Author's Notes: Unbetaed, written at 3:00AM. Hope it's not too bad. Definitely fluffy and indulgent - I'll admit that.

( 3...2...1... )

Title: Showdown (chapter 1)
Fandom: Law & Order / L&O: Criminal Intent crossover.
Characters: Cyrus Lupo, Kevin Bernard
Rating: PG-13 blanket rating for language and potential violence.

Author’s notes: For mtwendyr, who commented on my lack of Eames-related fics. This will feature Eames and other members of the Major Case Squad eventually. It’s also a primarily case-based fic…haven’t written one of those in a LONG time, so hopefully you all enjoy it!

( Who's erratic and unstable now, Princess Gringa? )

Holy OCD, Batman! So, I've been working on a project...

As more people started to add my creative journal to their friends lists, I realized that while you can click the "graphics: icons" tag or go to a specific show or movie or actor to take you to icon entries, there was no comprehensive way to look up my fanfic (...yeah, to anyone who's added my journal in the last couple of months, I also write fanfic! In fact I just added a new story today after an end-of-summer lull). That in mind, I've been memory-ing my fanfic and organizing it in an easy-to-find manner. Here it is...four years of fanfic, indexed all pretty-like. I will be adding it to my links up top so it's quickly accessible. Hopefully it's helpful and maybe you'll see a fic or two you're interested in that you haven't read before (...you might be surprised - I don't just write current-season, shippy L&O fic! I've got everything from early Mike Logan stuff to random The Dark Knight and Boston Legal stuff...)

FANFICTION INDEX

Notes:

>> Character 1/Character 2 indicates romantic relationship-centered fic.
>> Character 1 & Character 2 indicates work partnership/relationship-centered fic.
>> General means involving two or more of the credited cast members of a show, usually in a 'team'-style setting.
>> Character Name means the fic is centered around that character in particular, or possibly from their P.O.V.
>> Show 1/Show 2 indicates a cross-over fic.

Title: Chances
