So, silly me, I made this icon a while back but never saved my resources, or the little decorative thingy either as it seems, and so I was wondering! Does anyone know of any similar (or even this exact) sets of decoration..things floating around LJ or the internet in general?
A thousand thanks!

Before I even write this, I know that half of the comments are going to be some variation of "My God, you're such a egotistical entitled brat!" but nevertheless, I shall carry on.

Dear Fangirl,
So you have this fic where Hero A and chaotic neutral Anti-Villain B (who in this fic is apparently now a hero? Wth did I miss something?) go on a desperate cross-country road trip together, pursued and dogged in their flight by Villain C and his teenage Henchwoman D (who in canon is kind of supposed to be dead but I digress).
The problems with your fic are as follows:
( I don't think Pennsylvania looks like that... )
No Love,
Me

Hi, everyone. (:
Longtime lurker, first time poster.
Okay. Soooo. I've been using brushes for a long time in PSPX2, and it's always worked very well for me, until now. It won't let me apply the brush unless the move it around, and even then it gives me strange results, like this:

(brush by
meleada)
When the brush kind of swirls around the canvas, I suppose you'd call it, as opposed to just applying straight on?
I've checked brush variance and rotation and step and I don't know, I'm still not that great with Paint Shop Pro.
Can anyone help me fix this problem? And much thanks in advance. (:

Well, hello- I'm Zacklyn, or Zacky for short. I'm an old-enough Las Vegas girl with a love for music and comedy. I really don't know how to do this, so I'm just going to tell some stuff about me and hope you'll find me interesting enough to add me. I am a proud supporter of slash, and I enjoy writing fanfiction. I'm short. Like, four-foot-nine short. But that doesn't deter me from getting in people's face and elbowing them in mash pits. Oh well, this sucks but I give up. Add me. ;)
Preferred Name : I chose
evelynwordsmyth because just about everything else has been taken. Evelyn is my middle name. I'm stuck with it, but I like it. A word smyth isn't exactly who I am, but it's who I want to be. I see the title as setting a goal for myself.

Why LJ?: I'm writing and looking for support/feedback. LJ is full of writers and supportive communities. I'm mainly lurking at the moment and I take part in fandom communities: reading fan fiction and talking with other fans of my favorite movies and tv shows.
About Me: The internet is my life. I read, I write, I ponder, and I share with all. I've met many-a interesting personality on here, and I hope to learn and meet more. I work for a local TV station, been there for a year. I graduated college in 2008. I like the color green. I like walking in the park during autumn and walks on the beach in the summer evening. I'm a liberal, I voted for Obama. I'm a girl, in case that wasn't obvious. I like hanging out with friends on my days off. I like riding my bike, walking. I'm white/Europrean-American: Irish, Scottish, and English, to be precise. I've got great blue eyes, but I have to wear contacts/glasses. I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid. I often wander freely, indulging in my imagination, and I am very fond of fantasy and creativity. I hope to travel and change the world someday.

I know any review is a good review but...
Is it too much to ask that you spend the majority of your review discussing the story instead of bashing the plot and main pairing of the canon? I wouldn't be writing fic for this fandom if I didn't like the canon. I mostly write non-canon pairings, but a quick look at my journal would show I've made my peace with the canon ship. My journal isn't your personal soapbox.

This probably comes with a huge helping of YMMV.
Author, sweetie. I love your story. I really do. It's compelling, the characters are IC, the plot is a favorite of mine. But here's my problem: About 30 chapters into your epic, all of a sudden you change your tone, voice and point of view so that this one character can share this long and involved history. This history of his is in its own chapter and when copied to Word is 15 pages long. I have been jarred completely out of your story. I'm going to finish reading, but I'm insanely confused. I know you could have dropped this information throughout your story instead of devoting an entire chapter to an info dump. I know you could have handled the whole thing so much better than simply cramming all of it into one chapter in a different style, voice and point of view. If this random change of style/voice/pov/etc. was something consistent throughout your story, I'd forgive you. But it's not.

Anyone have any recommendations on how I can go about doing something like this? I know that I could just put the text down in the specific areas that I needed, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a less time-consuming way? :]
