Very random rant

[mrv3000]

You know what I can't stand? Multi-fandom icon posts. THERE. I said it. SOME are okay, but it's stuff like:

1,000 icons:

5 Heroes
5 Doctor Who
5 Torchwood
5 Stargate Atlantis
Etc etc etc.

Are you INSANE? There's no way I'm going to page load a bazillion icons just to see a handful of the ones I'm actually looking for. BAH! I really don't care if they're the prettiest icons in all the land. It's not worth it.

/today's very random rant

Here, have a post of 10,000 icons with one really CUTE Doctor/Rose Icon. It will really cheer you up.


Yeah, I'm evil. HA.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Pthththththththththt!

[brilliantomega.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Drives me nuts, I tell you!

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

OMG, I KNOW. I completely skip the ones that have so little pay off. Especially when the ratio is even worse, when it's like 5 Doctor Who, 25 Supernatural, 14 SGA. Is it that much effort to break it up, icon makers? Jeesh.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I know! I've clicked through to icon posts where about 90 icons from a show I'm vaguely aware of have to load up first before you get to 7 icons I really want to see.

Bleh.

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I freaking hate that! It cannot possibly be that much trouble to put them into separate posts.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't think so. Yeesh.

Heh. I could start mass posting fics. Of course, that would require some other show on the brain besides DW...

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, I've seen people do that with drabbles and ficlets.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I could see doing that if fics are the result of one of those various memes, but beyond that...

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

I've done that!

In my defense, if the fics are under 500 words, I assume it's better to shove them in one post under cuts than spam with multiple posts. I'm always paranoid about spamming people. *hides*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BAD FRANCES! *SWATS NOSE*

To make up for it, you must write some fic. *nods*

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

You write fic! You could... um, finish that Nine/Rose fic! :D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

They're still just sitting there watching TV. *pokes them*

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I think something needs to happen!

OOOH. I have an idea! *rushes off*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Shall I go to googledocs to watch you type? :D

Okay, maybe not.

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

Muha.

That'll probably scare the bunny away. It's skittish that way!

Also, I'm totally going to do it in MS Word first. HA.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

YES! Good grief.

[swankkat.livejournal.com]

Some multi-icon posts? Okay. I appreciate it when the poster separates everything into individual tables - I can scroll past them all to find what I need. But those multi-fandom posts where every icon is crammed together? Ugh, no I'll pass.

Hence why I tend to keep icons for years - not worth the hassle to find new ones if I have to wade through a bazillion icons just to find the two from the fandom I want.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I even get a bit twitchy when they're separated into tables if there's way too much shoved into one post. I hate having to sit there while all the graphics load.

And I tend to keep icons for a loooong time as well. I have one from 2003 that I made (which has been deleted and re-uploaded since.) *uses*

[debs7.livejournal.com]

I think you will find you are not alone on that. I know I hate it very very much.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*continues to be annoyed*

[burtonworshiper.livejournal.com]

I can't ever find the one(s) I'm looking for!! Even if they're all labeled and everything, there's TOO MUCH SCROLLING.

It makes me want to go into a dark corner and cry.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I usually get up to about the 20th image load and then I click the X.

[tripocket.livejournal.com]

I love (read hate) when I actually do plow through a gazillion pics of shows I don't know, only to find that the icons I want to see are actually 5 of the same picture with different background colors.

Then again, being someone that has to rely on the kindness of talented strangers to even have icons...I should shut up and simply say a big thank you to everyone that posts them!

I'll go sit in the time-out corner now for being selfish and ungrateful.

YES! Erg.

Or you can just thank the ones that deserve thanks. :D
