About

Hello and welcome to Kick ass icons! An icon community brought to you by

lethia and

vuitton_playa with icons from all fandoms that kick ass. yup. all fandoms allowed here. This is a moderated access community.
I know what your thinking, "another one?!?!". YES!!! You know that you want to add another one onto your userinfo and you know you want ot become a part of another elite icon community! So do it!! However, we are going to be very very picky as to who gets in. Your probably wondering, "what makes you think you know icon making enough to judge how good i am." well. I (

vuitton_playa) am a member of a TON of other elite icon communities, and watch enough elite icon makers to know whats good and whats bad. If your icons are fugly in my opinion, I will tell you. Dont get pissed off.
If you think you have what it takes keep reading for rules for applying.

There are some rules to read before you apply.
First of all post "I was Busy Kicking ass" in the subject line. This way we know you read the rules.
Post 5-10 examples of your best work, some including text please, and a link to your icon journal if you have one. We'll review your icons and then see if we think your good enough for the community.You must get accepted by both vuitton_playa and lethia. If you don't get accepted please dont bitch at us. If you disagree with something leave us a comment on our personal journal and we can settle it like adults. If you bitch at us we will ban you from the community for ever. So dont do it.

Applying is really simple. just leave a comment here with 5-10 of your best icons. no more. no less.

Rules for posting
Be lj-cut friendly. Dont post like 20 icons without a cut. Post 4 at the most but any more than that needs to be behind a cut.

Dont make one icon posts. I will cut you. Please have the decency and patience to make atleast 5-10.

Dont mess with the mods. We are really nice people.....unless you piss us off.

Rules for people watching the community

Always, always Credit. Always!! Making icons as beautiful as the ones you see here takes time and the icon makers deserved to be credited for thier work.

Comment If your taking someones icon. taking it and then not letting the person know is just rude.

Dont hotlink!! If we find you hotlinking we will ban you. dont do it.

Dont alter Unless stated otherwise by the icon makers.

My icons suck and made your eyes bleed when you reviewed them, can i still look at the really pretty ones here?

Of course, please do!

What about those 1 icon posts?
Ugh. Please don't. Its really annoying. Atleast make 5 icons before you post them.

What if I have some really sick sense of humor or dirrrty icons? Can I post them here?
If you must. Please warn people and use an lj-cut though.

Can I post banners and such?
You can if they are in a post with icons. do not post a banner as a teaser icon. i will delete your post and stab you.

Can I request things here?
No. Try

iconrequest

Are bases icons and can they be posted here too?
Hell No!!! And since we moderate who gets to get into this community, chances are there will be no bases.

Could I use these icons as my very own?
That's up to the individual poster, he or she will say if they're open for public use. Follow his or her rules, or get shot.

What does quality-control want from us little folks? (stolen from

takenote_icons
Nothing spectaulary difficult. We want you to like what you've made, we want you to have spent time making it/them and we want you to know what you're doing (to a degree).
This means no poor quality .jpg's, no disgustingly revolting .gif's, anti-aliasing your fonts when they need and it and not when they don't, making intelligent colour and cropping decisions, and having fun while making your icons, or at least making us think you do.

more questions will be added soon
