Hello
icon_talk!
Yesterday
I made a post here at the community where I asked people to give their opinion regarding how quiet the icon community has become, and the reason why people seem to be leaving LJ. I also asked for suggestions on what we could do to make people more interested and engaged again. An icon maker friending meme was one of the suggestions and we thought that was a great idea, so here it is!
If you come across this and you don't know how a friending meme works, here's an explanation:
Just copy the questions in the text box below, and paste them with your answers in a comment to this post (post a new comment). If you see someone you think you might get along with or someone you would like to talk to, click the "reply to this" link below that comment and start a conversation.
Real name and age: Where do you live?: Is your personal journal friends-locked or public?: What do you write about in your personal journal (fandom, real life or both?) Which fandoms are you most active in: How long have you been making icons/graphics and where do you post them?: What do you like to make the most (icons, headers, resources, tutorials)?: Who is you favorite graphic artist/icon maker/tutorial writer, who is your biggest inspiration? (you can post examples if you want): One thing you want any potential friend to know about you: Anything else?: Please promote this meme to graphic makers you know, in your journal and/or in your graphics community!
Copy and paste this to promote the meme:

Keep it clean, please. No wank or bashing, this is a friendly community/meme.
Have fun!
