Just clearing out about half of my large cache of classic icons waiting to be posted.

Featured actors are Fredric March, Ann Sheridan, Carole Lombard, Basil Rathbone + Nigel Bruce (Sherlock Holmes movies), Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, and Olivia de Havilland.

Thank you! :)

Hi. I really admire your work (I used to follow this community when I was blush_pink_rose, then I closed that account and I started this one), especially your classic film and actor/actress icons. I have bunches saved on my computer, I love your Katharine Hepburn and Dracula/Wolf Man icons in particular. I like using your icons on FanFiction for my profile since I don't post on LiveJournal often, but I was wondering if you'd thought about making fanfiction covers? Do you take requests? If you don't I understand but I just thought I'd ask. If not, do you know someone who does? I'm writing fanfiction now and I wanted a generic but nice looking cover to use and I'm not sure who else to ask, but I just really like what I've seen what you can do with icons and such.

[jordannamorgan]

Thank you for the kind words, and your interest!

I have made a number of fanfiction covers for my own stories so far. I'm here at FFN; you can especially see some of my individual covers on stories I posted in late December/early January. (They doubled as gift tags for a holiday fic exchange. *g*)

I am open to taking requests, provided the subject material is not slash-related or inappropriate for young-ish viewers--but the same rules apply to my icons, so I imagine it shouldn't be an issue.

What sort of fandom/subject do you have in mind? If it isn't a fandom I'm in, I would likely ask you to provide the specific image(s) you'd want used. You could specify the size you want, as well. I make my covers at a pretty small 200x300px because that works for me, but I can go bigger, depending on the images I have to work with.

Thank you for replying!

I'm familiar with the piece you wrote for The Wolf Man quite a while back, I left a review on it as For Sentimental Reasons. I'm glad someone wrote something for the movie, and I've outlined a few ideas for that film and the others that followed it myself.

What I'm working on now ranges from classic to contemporary, well-known to more obscure. I actually have a second account, Tourmaline Shine, that I intend for my more contemporary pieces. This week I published my first one-shot for a film called The Peacemaker that starred George Clooney and Nicole Kidman, but I took it down to be tweaked a little more. It should be back up by next week. I also am working on a Gone with the Wind one-shot that I'll have out by the end of October as it fits in with the Halloween season.

Instead of a particular image, for the moment I actually had in mind a text only cover so that it could be used for whatever story I post. I was thinking a black background, with white, cursive text that says "Presenting..." with a sparkly/shimmery effects as seen in your Lauren Bacall icon that I'm using at the moment; FFN recommends 300 W by 450 H, would that be alright?

[jordannamorgan]

That should be ridiculously easy to do. :) Of course the sparkly lights won't be exactly the same, but I certainly have some for larger-than-icon images.

[milkglasschicky.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Looking forward to it!

[jordannamorgan]

I made some variations. See if you like any of these. :)

Version 1 - Version 2 - Version 3 - Version 4

[milkglasschicky.livejournal.com]

Very nice, and an extra thanks for giving me more than one choice! The latter two are just what I had pictured, but I also like the fancier touches on the first two. I think I'll take numbers two and three. I can't wait to use them!

Thanks so much!

[jordannamorgan]

You're quite welcome!

(If you wouldn't mind, let me know definitely that you've saved what you want, as I'd like to clear them off of my Scrapbook. :) )

[milkglasschicky.livejournal.com]

I went on ahead and saved the other two also, so all's well.

Many many thanks again!

[jordannamorgan]

You're welcome! :)
