1. Just got my prompts for

lotr20in20! It's the first time I'll be making something like this - and I'm both excited and scared because I... think I've forgotten how to make icons. Apparently I can only focus on doing one type of graphic at a time, what the hell self.

2. I WANT TO WRITE AGAIN. I may have something in mind for Gokaiger, if only I can actually get into writing it. For LOTR, I have a vague idea but prompts are always good! So if you want, GIVE ME A PROMPT FOR LOTR AND I'LL WRITE IT. Preferably Faramir/Éowyn-centric :P

3. My RP drive has been seriously lacking lately. Crap :\ Good thing I'm already clear with my activity for DDD, though, so I can be pretty scarce with my characters ~~like I'm not already but~~.

4. GIFS. HOW DOES ONE MAKE THEM?

5. FIREFOX I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING LEAVING YOU FOR GOOGLE CHROME. First, you don't let me upload anything to tumblr - and now you're not letting me post entries for LJ? HDU.

6. It's a meme from plurk but I'm curious: have I ever intimidated you?

1. Sounds like fun though! A challenge, which is great, I think. Is there a deadline for it?

2. Ooh, I wish I'd been more into LotR now just so I could help you out with a prompt that made sense.

5. I only use Firefox for my Yahoo mail, and as an extension of that sometimes also LJ. I don't really like it.

6. I can't honestly say that you have. I don't know if you're disappointed by that, but if you are, sorry.

No! I'd rather I don't intimidate anyone, honestly :P

I've always used Firefox and only considered changing browsers since it's starting to act funny. It's a shame because I'm used to it :(

Yep, end of May I think is the deadline for the 20 icons.

:D

Yeah, changing browsers takes some time to get used to, because they don't all do the same things the same way, and with the layout being different and stuff.

Cool. Good luck!

Thank you! ♥

That's what I noticed about Google Chrome, which is really nice.

1. Oh-ho! You can never have too many icons for LotR. I'm sure you'll do great, your graphics are always so pretty. Go you!

2. There's a major lack of Gokaiger fics, and you are my salvation, LOL. As for LotR, I'll see what prompts I can think of... It's been a long while since I last got into LotR :P

3. :( How's DDD going?

4. I so want to learn that, too!

5. I still use IE x_x;

6. Define intimidated ;)

Hahaha I hope so! ♥

DDD's fabulous! There's a lot of things/stuff going on but I just can't find the motivation to tag things :(

I haven't used IE in forever, hehehe. And intimidated, um... scared? IDK. Seemed unapproachable?

<3

Tagging can make anyone lazy sometimes -.-; But it's great to hear you're enjoying yourself over there :D

As a person, no. I think you're a sweetheart :) As a writer, I feel a bit intimidated, yeah, because you're so good at what you do, while little me takes forever to even write an email x___x;;

Aww you! ♥

I too am considering leaving Firefox for Google Chrome's sweet embrace. I HAVEN'T YET. But I've downloaded Chrome and... might someday, sob.

IT IS DEFINITELY A FOXY BROWSER, THAT CHROME.

2. LOL I love how you're so Faramir/Eowyn-biased. ~~But I'm still Aragorn/Eowyn, sorry~~. XD

4. It depends on what program you're using. I can't remember how it was for really older versions of Photoshop--I have CS3, which isn't new, but isn't quite old, either. What I do is gather all the frames I want to use and make each photo a different layer, open the animation palette (Window > Animation), and then tinker around with the layers. Once you're done, save it using File > Save for Web & Devices.

(I don't know if you'll understand what I just typed in, since what I just told you is from what I can remember from making some gifs in the past. XD I haven't done any serious photoshopping in ages. XD)

5. I'm torn between the two, really, so I have both installed. Chrome is just TONS better than Firefox but I can't seem to leave Firefox, so what I do is just use FF then open Chrome whenever the other screws up. XD

6. Hmm...I don't think so...? XD

I just tried what you said and this is what came out of it:

:D?

XD That's a great start! I'd suggest more frames so the animation is a little more seamless, but other than that I think you've already got the basics down! :D

There weren't enough caps available, so I took what I can get - but yeah, more frames would have been great :D Thanks!
