Subject: Re: Doing the time warp.... (was Purple Thongs)
I would be curious to see it. Is the thong part just a bare mention, or a
major recurring thing?

I have a lot of Tippi Blevins' stories, including the Eternal Champion ones.
I was a compulsive archiver during the list heyday of the stories I really
liked.

I wish the library didn't filter your site. I would like to see the icons and
such I keep hearing about. *pokes library compies*

I've just posted another dozen of the icon designs in the larger 350px size.
Half of them are for established factions, and half for new ones.

Subject: Faction icons
I've just posted four more icons. No, *not* with a purple thong! (Not yet.
I'm working on it.) However, there have been other factions/subfactions
mentioned recently; and I figure I should get their icons posted while
they're still vaguely in people's minds.
So here are the icons for the B.R.I.C.K. and the Crew.
Also, having run it past Brenda, I'm posting the icon for the Unholy
Alliance, along with a larger version of the symbol I devised.
And--at long, long last!!--you finally get to see an icon for the FoSiLs.
After all, the Woof Pack icon's been up for several weeks. It's been quite
unfair of me to leave poor old Sydney out in the cold for so long. (Not
that we've been seeing much cold in Toronto recently. More of a heat wave
here, actually.)
Yes, there are more icons waiting in the wings, and yet more in the works.
In the mean time, you can find these four here:

Subject: Thong Throng faction icon
So...when I was doing icons for subfactions of the Cousins, I started one
for the Thong Throng. Now, it looks very much as though it needs to be
empurpled. (I'd used a picture of a black thong.)
The question is: what shade of purple? I gather the Roman purpurus was a
sort of burgundy-purple shade. However, I seriously doubt if any of the
Thong Throng were asking themselves what General Lucius wore under his toga.
I rather suspect they were thinking more of watching the Nightcrawler
stripping onstage at the Raven.
Violet? Magenta? Grape?
Inquiring minds want to know.
