Happenstance: An icon journal

Sat, 13 Aug 2005 02:14:19 GMT

From this point on, __happenstance is CLOSED.

It was too hard logging in and out of different usernames so I've switched over to an icon community which is way easier for me to update. You can now find me at...

candied
JOIN HERE.

I've already posted icons over there, such as these:

You can keep the credit for your old icons as __happenstance if you want, it would be great if you could change them to candied though. Any icons you take from this point on should be credited to candied, though, as all the old icons have been reposted over there. To all my affiliates, could you please change the username in you userinfo? I have transfered you all over to the new journal, if there's a problem, let me know there :)

I know this only makes life more difficult, I know, I'm ruining your lives lol. I'm sorry, but I'd really love it if you could join as this journal is now DEAD.

Here's a set of quote icons from Half Blood Prince. There's 63 and I have about 10 more I still have to do, but I could stand doing anymore of these lol. The plain style got to me after while, so I'll have the rest soon. PROMISEEE.

I tried to pick teasers that weren't spoilery. You're welcome lol.

I know that none of you guys are the crazies who are FLIPPING OUT over this whole H/Hr thing and wishing ill upon our dear Jo Rowling. I mean really. But, because I think that the crazies are VERY entertaining and the whole situation humors me, I made icons! I point. I laugh. I'm over it.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Read the interview here. Part 2 has the ship wars lol. Littered with HBP spoilers though, make sure you've finished!

Hello my lovelies!

I'm sure all my Potterloves have finished and/or are almost finished with HBP. I had fun at a midnight party (picspam in my personal journal, I got to hang out with Harry Potter, be jealous!) and finished the book on Saturday. I won't say anything or go into it (jhdsfkjffhks!!!), but know that I'm working on a set of quote icons. I have about 30 presently, but I'm still going through the book and picking some of my faves.

Any HBP text icons you want see? Comment here and let me know :)

I also changed the layout here. Emma, however sweet, was wearing on me. Sorry if you happened to stumble in here in the switchover and were frightened by the mouthes everywhere lol. I've been wanting to use these shots by Miles Aldridge forever, the colors are great. Comment and let me know if you like, it scares you or whatever because it is a bit different.

I want that pink lipgloss though!

REMEMBER, THERE ARE HBP SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Spoilers are for losers. Let everyone know with a helpful icon and/or banner! Really, they look sexy and are very helpful in alerting of a possible spoiler, all of which should be posted under a cut anyways, RIGHT?

I haven't done a set of HBP icons since we first learned the title of Book 6. So alas, here is a header/icon set.

And a header preview:

01. 02. 03. 04.
05. 06. 07. 08.
09. 10. 11. 12.
13. 14.

Andddd the header:

The header looks the best on a white (#FFFFFF) background unless you want an ugly white box around the graphic. It looks nice with green entry boxes :)

Comment. Credit in KEYWORDS for the icons and USER INFO for the header. Stay excited for the 16th!

Hello my loveliessss! I have missed you.

I haven't posted anything for ages because my iBook, Baby Love (yes, I named her.) died! Like died. So I lost everything on her. That was also the day my cell phone was stolen, but we won't go into that. BUT, because it was my birthday and I'm wayyyy spoiled, my daddy bought me a new one! Her name is Penny Lane and she hasn't arrived yet, but she will next week! I'm excited! Yay!

I know, this is a pointless post, but I just wanted to say that you won't be seeing anything for a bit longer. Once she gets here I'll still have to reinstall everything and such. So stay sweet and know that I miss you guys lol.

Let me know if you want to see icons of something specific so I can gets ideas brewing! ♥

**If anyone could point me in the direction of the Mario Testino portraits for William's 21st birthday (as seen in Vanity Fair and icons #20-22) I would be most appreciative. I need like bigger scans of them. I have the issue, but my scanner is crap lol.

Goodbye England's rose...

Yes, I watched the wedding and no, I don't need to comment. But I didn't make icons of Camilla, did I? Princess Diana is one of my heroes and in my opinion, one of the most beautiful people, inside and out. ♥

Okay, so crisis averted. I got a reply back from the girl who was reposting icons without credit.

u are right i did not credit u and i should have, ill start crediting from now on and ill delete them all right now,just to let u know i got a lot of comments about them and evryone absoultly adored them, and i also wanted to thank you for approaching me in such a civilized manner, other ppl would have ripped my head off about it and u didnt do thats pretty awesome,have a great day!

She was really nice about it so everything was all good. Thanks for having my back, I heart you all!

Fri, 08 Apr 2005 22:48:21 GMT

Hello all! I'm going to change/add a rule so I'm giving you the heads up here because I doubt people already friended will check the info

The lovely abstruse_soul let me know that my Truth About Girls set was reposted on this girl's Xanga. It sucks because there is a ton of other awesome icons on there that really really really deserve some sort of credit. Its one of the many reasons I hate Xanga because half of everyone on there iS LyK 13 aNd LyK LuVZ To tYpE LyK DiS OmFg haHaHa! Drives. Me. Up. The. Wall.

So my icons are are now for Livejournal use ONLY. Sorry if you are using them for other sites, but I would really appreciate if you wouldn't. ♥

I'm officially awesome now, people want my shit! XD

EDIT: I found her LJ and I left her a comment, so until I hear back from her, (although I'm flattered that you guys have my back lol) don't flame her too bad. I asked her to stop posting others people stuff and stick with her own stuff (dude, her own stuff isn't even bad). If she totally blows me off, I'll let you know and then you can have fun, but until then, nothing too bad. ::wink::

By now you should know that I have an odd affection for Voldemort, because I'm weird but oh well. Yeah I know he's evil and likes death and stuff but I bet he also likes kittens and showtunes. Gosh, he just needs a hug!

Haha, poor Clay. Ignore me, really. These came at a time where I was really hyper but really bored = the most random icons EVER.

I put up a new layout. I'm not really impressed by this one, it was a quickie but I hated the other one. I got tired of looking at it lol. So yes, I've been on an Emma kick lately so she was the inspiration.

I made like 5 new sets but haven't posted any. Coming up next is Sarah Jessica Parker, Girly icons, Marauders, Azkaban and Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants. So look for those coming up soon.

Love you all, Katie (oohlala) ♥

Californiaaaa Loveeee.

I love the Dark Mark, it is TEH EVIL but oh so cool. I also love Kanye West so put the two together and you have icons. All lyrical genius is credited to Mr. West's "Jesus Walks". Not trying to be all religious or anything, just thought the words worked! And Bellatrix Lestrange because she an evil bitch and I love it.

This set started with a personal icon, and went from there. I've been wanting to these for awhile and all the information came from the famed HP Lexicon. I originally had a list of about 30 spells and charms, but a lot of them just didn't look right on the icon, but I stuck with the important ones.

**my personal icon (oohlala) is not up for grabs, but after awhile, I'll post it here.
