ATTENTION!!!!!

I've decided to STOP posting icons at GreatestJournal. Yes, I know it just came back up and all that. I don't care. It's gotten too tedious and confusing for me. Plus, everything else of mine has moved. From now on, ALL my icon posts will be over at InsaneJournal.com. If you choose to move too, then SUPER. If not... then ugh, I cry I mourn. For reals. It's been a great 1 1/2 years here at GJ.

Meh. Rules time

Okay, so this entry is mainly because I've had an IMMENSE growth in friends that I just feel the need to put this out there. This is in NO WAY a reprimanding or anything like that. The last thing I ever wanted to do was make this journal a hoity toity kind of atmosphere but I just wanted to lay out some things about my icons. Also, this is a public entry so that those curious in my icons can see what I'm about. So... here we go:

1. My icons are NOT bases. This means, do no customize or edit in any way. I do not do fancy texting or gradients over my icons, and most are cut simply. This does not mean that they can be edited. My current style is 100x100, no border. If you would like any other style, you MUST put that in with your request.

2. Please credit in your icon keywords or comments. EVERY post of mine has a sample image of how to do this properly. Icon thieves exist, it's just a fact. But if you put the credit in your keywords then the blame is on them, not you. You can still put a link/credit to me in your user info if you would like, but please also put them in keyword comments.

3. Going along with credit... If you use my icons for role playing, please keep in mind that not only do I also rp, but I have friends that do. I know when my icons are being used. If it gets out of control, I'll start doing journal checks. I really HATE to threaten that out there, but sometimes it just needs to be said.

4. PLEASE comment with what you take Look at it this way: the more I realize my icons are actually being saved and used, the more I'll make. If I make a post of 80 icons of someone and nobody comments, chances are I won't be making icons of that person ever again.

5. By all means... share the love. Nothing makes me happier than logging in and seeing more friend requests and people sharing the word about my icons. NEVER had I imagined this would get as big as it already is, so I thank you all for appreciating my work so much.

6. Requests: I always have a running request list. There is a link at the top of my journal with where to place them, and it is pretty much always open for you to list some. Soon there will be more criteria for requests, but for now I just ask that you list at least one website for me to find pictures.

PLEASE NOTE: My batches of icons are HUGE. While some people only do 20 at a time, mine are usually 70 or more.

7. In order to be added: Please add me FIRST, then comment with any song that's currently your favorite to be added. This way, all I have to do is approve you and you can immediately start viewing icons. ALL of my posts are in memories. This listing is viewable to the public so that you can get a better sense of what icons I have made already. The icons themselves are not viewable, just the index.

That's it!! WHEW, you survived :) Thanks again for finding my journal and appreciating my icons.
