What's the advantage to joining the community rather than just friending it?

Sometimes I do polls or other posts that are friends only. Which means if you are not a member, you will not be able to view these posts as they will only be viewable to members.

Why don't I have (Can I have) posting access?

This community is a place for me to post my icons. I will be the only one posting icons. There are plenty of other graphics communities for you to post your icons to. A good community for posting any type of icon is [info]takenote_icons. However, you must be approved for posting access there.

Do I have to credit you?

[info]teh_indy explains the reason for crediting perfectly, I post these icons for sharing with everyone. If you don't credit my icons, other people won't know where to find them, and the sharing ends. Plus, nobody likes to see their hardwork going unaccredited. It's a way of showing appreciation to the icon maker for spending time making something to share.

How do I credit you?

Just throw my username (either [info]lvlwing or [info]lvlwing_icons) into the comment or keyword section when you upload your icon.

Can I make a request?

I will not fill personal requests. However, it's OK if you leave suggestions. Just please don't ask for me to make you a specific icon within this community. There are icon request communities for that.

Back to the top



Will you help me with my layout?

No, I will not. There are layout help communities that you can post in. LJ layouts can be time consuming, especially if you're trying to explain something to someone. I do have links in the userinfo, I encourage you to go to these links for help on various things.

Would you like to affiliate with my icon journal?

I no longer do affiliations. To be honest, they're kinda pointless.

Back to the top



Do you have any buttons I can link to you with in my userinfo?

Yes, I do. This post contains all my button links to date.

Where did you get your pictures from?

If the pictures you're referring to are from a movie, then chances are I capped the movie myself or, I got them from the [info]cap_it community. If they're something else, then I searched the net for them. Please don't ask me to give you a specific picture or cap. I seriously implore you all to join [info]cap_it if you want screen caps. They don't only have movies there, but music videos and other things.

Do you want us to credit lvlwing or lvlwing_icons, or does it matter?

I have a question. Where did you find the Japanese text to apply to the icons? I like the style.

I just googled "japanese fonts" and downloaded some.
