Hmmm. I think the positive comments I receive on my icons give me a false sense of pride. I mean, it's great that people love my icons, and I am so thankful to those people who take the time to look at them and tell me what they think, but at the same time I'm really not that great as icon makers go. I could be SO much better, but I just don't understand how. I'm getting very close to being eliminated in the fandom lims contests I'm in, and I never make it into good_fanicons when I apply. It's like... my style just doesn't jibe with the general perception of what good icons are. At the same time, I sometimes look at icons that are supposedly "amazing" and think they're crap. It's like I'm on a different wavelength from everyone else and I don't know how I ended up here.

Bah.

Oh yes, as a watcher it's definitely very nice to have them, because you can just scroll through the comm and everything's beautiful. But at the same time, it's not objective in any way - definitely biased towards a certain style.

I don't think I'll apply again, because it's a) too disheartening, and b) it really shouldn't matter that much to me. I can just keep posting in fandom specific communities, that works fine for me. It would have been nice, but I really knew the result before I applied. I suppose I'm just a masochist :P

Too lazy my foot... you do so much, silly.
