Crickety goodness and other stuff

Good: I've finished my Labor Day story, such as it is. Now I have to polish the thing or at least take some of the dents out.

Bad: I ordered my copy of The Democratic Genre: Fan Fiction in a Literary Context ages ago and not only hasn't it come yet, I just got told by Amazon that it's out of stock and it'll be another couple of months. [sulks]

Excellent: These crack cricket test matches run by vaznetti and someone else using characters in people's results in the icon pairing memes. I so want to see this: Julius Caesar as a spin-bowler (so a toga counts as cricket whites?) and Pilot as a wicket-keeper (all those arms!)

I was feeling obscurely guilty that I've snaffled two gorgeous B7 icons lately (a lovely Vila living for ever from tkurogrym on b7icons, and this fabulous Jenna one from snowgrouse) and so I thought I'd better have a go at some myself. So I spent last evening playing with my limited software and I've now got most of the B7 crew represented in my icon set.

( Cally, Dayna, Tarrant, and Soolin )

I'm considering downloading the Gimp. Is it fairly intuitive? I've used Photoshop and Fireworks in different jobs and PS Elements 2 at home, so I can usually figure out differences in interfaces. Is it hard to pick up and does it need much tweaking?

Birthday ficlet: Grey

This story serves a double purpose: it's for redstarrobot who wanted explosions, aliens, and fast ships, and it's a birthday prezzie for snowgrouse who's wanted these two characters together for a while.

Happy birthday, Grousie!
