I have not forgotten about that icon I want to work on, btw! I've just had some trouble with my screencaping program and it isn't working and I haven't had the patience to uninstall and reinstall and figure out what the problem is. But it's on my list of things I want to do. Speaking of Darius, and love.
I remember the Kronos/Methos phase. That was kind of hot at the time, though usually really *dark*. It's weird to be on the other side of it now, at the time I thought it'd last for good.
Thinking about crack_van -- do you think the higher number of crossovers now makes it more difficult to rec in the HL fandom over there since the purpose is to rec straight-up fandom and there's only the one crossover day? It might explain why it's hard to recruit rec'ers.
