 Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1 - I would love recs for Bellatrix centric fics, especially pregnancy/kidfics, but preferably not Bellamort (any other ship is fine). Even better if they’re not from AO3 since that’s where I generally read fics

2 - the same but art

3 - I’d really like for someone to explain icons to me. I’m new to dreamwidth and I see people requesting them, and I know they’re small images, but further than that, I don’t know much. If someone has the patience to get me in the loop I’d really appreciate it

4 - song/playlist recs! For any of my fav characters (Bellatrix, Julia Hoffman, Rose Weil, Lucy Honeychurch, Mrs Lovett) or ships involving them

5 - fandom history video essays. Any fandom! or fandom in general! I watch a lot of strange aeons fandom history videos, so anything along those lines. petty 2000s dramas, histories of fandom tropes, if you have a favourite I’d love to watch it

Helloo from a long-timer LJ and DW user! For icons, it's definitely a way to change things up and customize what you'd like to display for posts and/comments you leave on friend journals or in communities. Definitely different from Tumblr, but makes blogging in the old school way a little funner. More info in the DW Icon FAQ.

With a free SW account, you can have up to 15 icons, so as long as you have an image that is 100x100 pixels and 60kb or less, and in GIF, JPG or PNG format then you're good. There are a lot of programs you can use to shrink and make your own icons (from good ol paint, to Canva), or there are plenty of folks who take icon requests.

Just like how you got your first icon uploaded, that means you can upload 14 more and have the ability to choose from icons every time you post. You can add keywords (aka what you want the icon to be called) so you can look it up should you ever want your icon to be changed at any time. And comments are very helpful to make a note for yourself, or to give credit on to the person who made the graphic.

Hope that helped a little, and if you ever want a walk-through or have any more q's, let me know (I think we run in the same HP circles on other online platforms!).
