The other day, Chapter 7 of dduane's The Big Meow finally came out: it's now posted for non-subscribers at The-Big-Meow.com. If you'd like to help out a great writer who's had A Bad Year, go over and subscribe to the last few chapters -- you'll get a bound copy of the book when it's complete, too.

After reading Chapter 7, I was inspired to create the following userpic. :-)

By way of active_apathy:

1. Comment on this post.
   
2. I'll choose six of your icons and kind of o.O at them.
   
3. You'll explain what they mean, or why they exist, or why you use them.
   
4. If you want to, post your answers and this explanation in your journal so others might play along.
   
   That's the emblem of the Order of the Eastern Star, a fraternal service organization affiliated with Freemasonry. My wife was a Rainbow Girl, and then a Star member: I joined Star so I could go to meetings with her.
   
   Madness: I've been a Rocky Horror fan for a while, and it tickles me when people are overly literal...
   
   Chemistry: Sometimes, people are just too obnoxious/clueless...
   
   Technopeasant: A while back, the head of the Science Fiction Writers of America complained about members having the audacity to give their work away, and used the above phrase as an analogy with ink-stained copyists of days of yore. Said members took exception, and organized International PSTP Day, where they all released work for free. dduane did this icon, and posted her story "Parting Gifts" on her site.
   
   Vegetable envy: There were so many quotable lines in the Doctor Who Children in Need special, "Time Crash", the iconmakers will have work for months. :-) The 10th Doctor was ragging on the 5th Doctor for his lapel "decoration".
   
   Funky: Buffy the Vampire Slayer text meets Star Wars images. I can _so_ see Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson delivering those lines instead of Nick Brendon and Anthony Stewart Head...
   
   Edit: ARGH, forgot the instructions!

I was watching Torchwood last night, when the following icon suggested itself:


Donna was hanging out on BloodySpikeless last night, and afterwards, she bemoaned her lack of Captain John icons. Well, couldn't have that now, could we?
