harry potter icon community

[edit: long entry, so, i'll summarize--i want a harry potter icons community. there already is a suitable one. everyone join [livejournal.com profile] hp_graphics.]

naturally, like a good little slasher, i am a member of [livejournal.com profile] lotricons if only for the sake of laughing at the bad ones which are all too frequently posted. but! lotr is SO passé. everyone and i mean everyone is moving into harry potter. the light of my life has a harry potter icon and the best harry/draco ever, the rtw co-bitch and everyone else over there are writing it, [livejournal.com profile] deepsix and [livejournal.com profile] silviakundera (theirloveissocute) are writing and drabbling and iconing it everywhere.

obviously this is the fandom in which to be. ::waves to [livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon and [livejournal.com profile] chocolatefrog::

so i was thinking. hp icons. we need an hp icon community. we NEED this. i was all geared up to create one this morning and missi deflated me, so instead i'm saying this to everyone in hp who likes and wants hp icons: join [livejournal.com profile] hp_graphics. join it now. i'm commanding, i'm begging. i want to see the traffic on it go up to match the traffic on [livejournal.com profile] lotricons. i want to make icons and post them there and i want you guys to do that to. i want to peruse them.

finally! a GOOD use for stars and swirls! because they DO represent magic, and the cartoony harry potter magic is much better suited to them (think the gorgeous oil pastels on the us editions, which will forever remain in my head despite the lovely images provided by the actors now) than is lotr magic.

that was a long post. lalala.

I just had to comment on that, lol. I'm just the opposite -- I just left HP for LotR. :)

And there is [livejournal.com profile] hp_icons
