Tiny pretty images: a contest!

[snick_backup]

Help, O flist. ruuger has been so fabulous as to make me some new Dawn and Dawn&Spike icons. We all already know what neat Spike&Dawn icons she makes, right? *points to entry icon* But part of what makes them so cool is the text, and I'm nearly hopeless at coming up with text.

So, a little help? What words absolutely must go on these icons?

This is where the contest part comes in. Comment with as many text suggestions as you want, anytime between now and Saturday night (ie, before I get up Sunday morning *g*). (Make sure you list the icon number for each one, so I know which icon you're suggesting the text for.) I'll put all the suggestions together in a poll, and the winner of the poll gets a drabble/ficlet from me.

Meanwhile, I'll have lots of text ideas to pick from. :)

All the really fabulously cool images are below:

Spike&Dawn! *flails* These make me deliriously happy already!

I'll have to think for a while about text...I'll get back to you!

These make me deliriously happy already!

I know! Isn't it great? I especially love the first and third ones, from (I think) "Spiral" - I'd never seen icons of that scene before, and it took me quite a while to even make a guess of where they were from.

*looks forward to text*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Those are my favorites, too! I love that scene in "Spiral," where Spike tells Dawn he should have nicked the Porsche and just taken Dawn and Buffy and gotten out of there. Probably because it plays so well into my fantasy world where the three of them are family. *sigh*

I'm going to be depressed if I don't come up with something fabulous!

1. Come with me
On the run
End of the World
Lost Together

2. Little Bad, Big Bad
Red Riding Hood
Badder Than You
Unscary Vampire

3. Angst!
Spike’s had it up to here
End of the World

8. Bitch, please

[snickfic]

Ooh, very cool! I especially like "Badder Than You."

But of course, you have lots of experience in coming up with text for icons. :)

[silverusagi]

Well, not lots, LOL. I actually haven't done that many icons.

Also, for 1 or 3, "Safe with you."

So cool!

Here's a few ideas to play with:

- Spike's Redemption Arc = Big Brother Program for Vampires

- Outsiders, Artists, Lost Souls Found

- Dishin' the Gossip since 2000

- Scoobies? Who needs 'em!

- Little Boy Lost - Key Girl Found

[snickfic]

Cool!

Were you thinking of these as suggestions for any particular icons, or are they just for brainstorming purposes?

[angearia.livejournal.com]

More brainstorming on the Spike and Dawn relationship, words that echo for me in thinking of them. I hadn't even realized we were supposed to be matching text lines to icons, lol.

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

# 8 obviously has to say "Bitch, please!"

I wish I had more suggestions; I always have a terrible time thinking up text for icons!

[snickfic]

Heh. You feel my pain, then. :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I was totally going to say "Little Bad, Big Bad" for #2. And "Badder than You"!

#1 - Till the End of the World -or- You See the Real Me
#2 - Who's Bad Now?
#8 - Dawn Summers is Not Impressed

Maybe just "extraordinary" for 5, 6, or 7? I always cry like a baby at Xander's little speech at the end of "Potential."

Hopefully, I'll be back with more. I don't, however, expect them to be good enough to win the prize, which I covet greatly. ;)

[snickfic]

Yay, ideas! And yes, I love Xander's speech. One of the S7 highlights for me.

And, I see you found a Spike-Buffy-Dawn icon. :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I did, indeed! *is happy*
