Maaaan. I love the Supernatural fandom, but it is so full of incredible fanfiction that I just feel completely inadequate. In most of my fandoms before this one I have been able to feel that I am at least a better-than-average writer, and all of a sudden I have been dropped into this world in which the average is stupendously good and I am going to have to fight incredibly hard if I want to impress anyone.

Stupid writer's insecurity. I can't remember the last time I was so nervous about submitting my fic to a community.

I want to write something amazing. How do people write amazing things?

(Still, of course, there's the not inconsiderable upside of having infinite amounts of brilliant fanfiction to read. Hurrah!)


Right! As an apology for inflicting that upon you, because this journal is supposed to be a happy place, I bring you some icons you never even knew you needed. Use, edit, et cetera as you will. (You may also take the plain-black-border version of the first that I am using.)







I have to say, I always suspected that my first venture into icon-making would be like this. The concept is, admittedly, better than the execution. Although I am quite pleased with the way the Dean/Haunter icons came out. TRUE LOVE FOR EVER.

(In the interest of getting more people to put Pokémon where they do not belong and also because they ask very nicely to be credited if their images are used, PokéBeach is a good website for Pokémon pictures.)
