Thoughtcrimes graphics, icons and covers for samdonne's "Man, I

[anna_luna]

samdonne's fanfic Man, Interrupted ate my brain. It is incredibly good and compelled me to watch the movie/pilot, I had sitting on my shelf for many months. Even if you have never heard of Thoughtcrimes, it is worth reading.

Following that, I fell in love with Thoughtcrimes and its universe. I need more TC fic! And fanart! Where is the virtual season?

So I made some Thoughtcrimes graphics...





Icons first:



Comment and credit if you would like to use them, please.

The last three are identical except for coloring since I couldn't decide which one was prettier.


For samdonne's Man, Interrupted:





Please ignore my bad manipping skills in the second one.Here is the original manip:



And a special icon of Sally (this is approximately how I pictured her in my head... I'm sure there was a more accurate description of her in the fic and I missed it, so this is just for fun):



It is slightly manipped in the sense that I dyed her hair redder.


And then I played around a bit with the graphic for the cover:







*Screencaptures from http://www.navirawat.com/ and a page whose address I don't have anymore because my computer crashed (I actully would love to find it again, it had a light brown background and many different pages of TC pictures).

Where is the virtual season?

I've often thought about trying to get a collective together to run a virtual season of TC, but never done it for fear of lack of writers...so if you think people would be interested, maybe we could develop that...

I love the artwork by the way - it's very fitting...and that fic was brilliant. I've shied away from a lot of TC fic in the past, because people seem to make Brendan too much like John Sheppard...

Very very pretty.

Hmm... I can see what you mean, we only see Brendan for about 30 minutes and even though we get a lot from him in that time, there is a *lot* we don't know. I can see where people would sort of "flesh him out" with Sheppard bits. Which is not so bad as long as you remember that while he might have *some* things in common with John, Brendan is his own person with his own unique personality.

Since I'm not a writer, I can't, you know, *write* the virual season, I'm open to make fanart though!

Maybe we should test the waters with a TC challenge? To see how many writers(and artists/vidders) get into the spirit of TC and got form there?

[anna_luna]

:D Thank you!

*hearts* your TC icon! Oh, Brendan!

[samdonne.livejournal.com]

I can't pick my favorite one. And, Sally! You're brilliant. Thank you. You've made me very happy.

a TC challenge

I would totally pimp that.

[grimorie.livejournal.com]

A TC challenge would be wonderful! Like you, samdonne's Man, Interuppted was the reason for watching Thoughtcrimes!

[grimorie.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Followed from a link in samdonne's journal. I love the Freya icons, may i take? will credit!

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

OH YAY BRENDAN!!! These are all so lovely!

Re: virtual season - monanotlisa and I swear we're going to write one. In, like, 2010.

Lovely pictures!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Oh that's awesome. So awesome.

[taiteilija.livejournal.com]

*stares* This is fabulous!

Sounds like a plan to me...you writing it up, or shall I?

If it works out, then maybe it could get taken to a virtual series. Not like a series has to be 20 eps now is it?


Most of the fics I've read before samdonne's have drawn way too heavily from John's personality. While I concede that there probably is a lot about them that is alike, Brendan comes across as way more introverted and less able to deal with people than John does.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Oh, and by the way, I'm in the same position as you...I've not been able to write fic for some time now - which is why my contribution to SGA VS4 is 'Web Designer'...

These are lovely, and put me down as another one who thinks it's a shame we didn't get more Thoughtcrimes.

I'm taking some of the icons and will credit if I use them.

[anna_luna]

:D I'm glad you enjoyed them! I had a great time making them!

And I'm glad you approve of Sally! I went through a lot of images before settling on that one for her.

[anna_luna]

I can write it if you want. Maybe we can bribe encourage people to participate by offering art at some point? That way I everyone gets to play! I can commit to a simple cover for each story that is more than 1000 words long. And maybe we can get other artists interested, there are many icons making the rounds, but there should be more collages and trad!art!

[(Anonymous)]

:D Sure, go ahead, enjoy! I'm glad you like them!

[anna_luna]

Ak... that was me

[anna_luna]

:D Thank you! The photography in TC is just beautiful.

[anna_luna]

:D You should write it! PLease *do*! I want to *reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaad* I can bribe you with graphics and fanart!

[anna_luna]

:D Thank you! I always have fun making graphics and it had really been a while since I made icons...

[anna_luna]

:D Thanks! I'm glad you approve! Freya and Brendan are just too pretty.

[anna_luna]

:( It's the way of the world, if a series is *good* they cancel it.

PLease take as many icons as you like... (I still owe you icons for the Peg2 fanart... *blush* I'll try to get to it later today...)

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Sounds cool. I'll let you take care of that then...and we can see where it goes...

_{Virtual Series, Virtual Series... :oP}
