Does anybody know how to create animated images (icons) out of videos? Like, if you have a short video, and you want to capture a few seconds in it and make it into an icon... I have Photoshop if that helps. :)
I've tried looking on Google, but all I can find is how to make several images into one animated image. I'd be able to do that, but I need to know how to "extract" the images from video first. :/

I realised about an hour ago, after reading furiosity's post, that tomorrow is December 1 - which means that all the fests start tomorrow! :O I totally forgot. And I was hoping to make a plan of everything, and organise my reading in advance... Oh well. :)
Anyway, I'm going to be posting weekly recs this year too. Since tomorrow is Saturday, my first rec post will probably be either on Sunday, December 9, or Monday, December 10 (but most probably on Monday). I'll rec one week of fics at a time, so December 1-7, December 8-14, etc. I hope I'll manage to do this. It'll be fun, anyway. :D
I'm planning on reading only Harry/Draco and Harry/Snape fics (and sometimes other slash pairings too, depending on how interesting they'll sound), because I won't have time to read much else. :/ Here are the communities I'm going to try to read:
On Livejournal
3fan_holidays
harry_holidays
hd_holidays
hp_wintersmut
On Insanejournal
merry_smutmas
Have I forgotten any? :)
PS: This new LJ thing - It's confusing me. I don't get it. It's making me feel cranky. :/

:: About my art lists ::
I've moved all of my art lists to my Insanejournal, so from now on they can only be found there. I still left the posts on my LJ though, but I deleted all of the art links from there and just left a link to the lists on IJ instead. The updated links are below:
Fanart making fun of canon
Fanart making fun of fanon
HP crossover fanart
Please change your links if you have them. For those of you that are reading my journal on other journals - you won't miss anything if you're not reading my IJ. I'm going to make posts on LJ, etc, linking to IJ when I update the art lists or post more art recs.
:: About my fic lists ::
From now on they can only be found on my Livejournal. It'd be just too much work to keep them updated on two or more journals... But, again, you're not going to miss anything if you're reading on other journals, because I'll crosspost all updates. :)
:: In short ::
My LJ = everything except art.
My IJ = everything except fic lists.
My GJ & JF = everything except art & fic lists.
Crossposts to all of them & links when updates are made.
:: Updates ::
I've updated all of the lists, except the HBP-compliant ones (HP/DM, HP/SS). I don't think I'll ever update them again... Maybe some day, if I'll have time and if I'll feel like it. :P Anyway, recent updates:
My H/D rec list
Fics with Original Horcruxes
Harry/Draco kilt fics
Fanart making fun of canon
Fanart making fun of fanon
HP crossover fanart - reorganised as well! :D
:: Missing links ::
I checked all of the links on my art lists to see if all of them still worked, and to try and find off-LJ links. I've found that a couple of links don't work anymore, or are f-locked. Does anybody know where I could find working links? :) ( Missing / f-locked art )
Also, I still haven't found some of the fic links from my rec list. Here is the post with the missing fic links. Please go look and tell me if you know where I can find any of the fics. :)
Thanks for help! :D

OMG YAY I'm finally done with updating my H/D rec list!!! :D
Sorry it took me such a long time, but I had to replace a lot of links. I tried to find links that weren't on LJ, which meant that I had to try and find them for every story that didn't have two links off-LJ (I like to have two links to each fic, just in case one of them doesn't work). So, there was a lot of work with that. Plus I also removed all LJ user and community icons, so that now it all looks like text and there are no icons. I've noticed the rec list loads faster because of this. :)
The most annoying thing happened tonight, though, when I was actually updating it... For some reason LJ thought some of the posts were too large. Which was ridiculous because I checked the posts where it didn't complain, and those were much larger! So I had to split some of the categories, and that basically took me all evening. Bah. But at least I'm done now! :D
I haven't added that many new recs, because I haven't had the time to read a lot for the past few weeks. But you can see those that I've added here (new category for new fics). And I've also added a DH-compliant category for the fics on my rec list, which can be found here. And that's basically it. Not a lot has changed on the rec list, but it looks so pretty now!!! :D Go look at it! :D *my preciousss*
By the way, I'm going to be updating my H/D rec list only on LJ from now on. It'd be too much work to keep copying the list to the other journals... I have the code saved, though, so if I have to move, there won't be any problems with moving the rec list as well. :)
I'm probably going to keep the art lists on IJ though, and just link to them from here. I'm going to update them next. :)
And that's all. :D
PS: There's only one week left for you to suggest H/D fanworks in the hd_fandomchoice survey. Go here to suggest fanworks. :D

I thought I'd post a reminder about hd_fandomchoice since we haven't had that many suggestions so far. We opened the community more than a week ago, and so far we've had only seven people suggest their favourite H/D fanworks. Seven. This makes me sad. :( I know that there are at least three more people that have said they will post their suggestions (plus there's me and gossymer), but that's still not that many people. If people will later complain about what kind of stuff was suggested, I will cry. No really, I will. :/
So, here's the reminder that I promised in the title of this post: There are less than two weeks left for you to make suggestions in hd_fandomchoice. You don't have to make that many of them... If you can only think of one meta post or one fic, that's enough. :)
Also, somebody said that they don't know which fics to suggest because all the comments in the suggestion post are screened. They said that seeing what other people have suggested would help their memory. So, since we've decided that we would screen comments (and for a good reason, check the FAQ), here are some suggestions on how to think of what to suggest: ( suggestions are here )
Okay, that's done. Now a question. I started a Myspace account early last Tuesday (yes, I know, I still feel dirty), so that I could pimp the community there as well. But, as some of you know, you're not allowed to post topics in forums on Myspace until you've had an account for seven days. Well, it's been seven days and I still can't post a topic! *whine* Does anybody know why? :/

I've finally managed to go through my entire rec list and checked which links still work and which don't. I haven't updated the links yet, but I will do that very soon. There are a couple of stories, though, which I can't find anymore. Does anybody know where I could find them? I've looked in various archives, and Googled for them, but I just can't find them.
These are the stories that are missing:
Missing links
Berlin, In the Year of Our Lord by Are
http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/are/BITYOOL01a.html
The author profile is still there, and the link to the story works too, but there is no story there. :(
Biting Privileges by crucio_4_coffee
I know she deleted all of her journals and emptied her Skyehawke account, but I was wondering if she maybe left her stories online somewhere else...
Three Scenes by Orphne
http://notquiteroyal.net/three/three/threescenes.html
It used to be on this link, but now it's gone. I can't find the fic anywhere else.
Twelve Days of Christmas by the5thmarauder
It used to be on an LJ community called ladyoffayth, but it's been deleted.
And these are the stories where I could only find links that were f-locked. Does anybody know where I could find them un-locked? Even an archive where you need a password to read them is fine. (The f-locked links are under the fics.)
F-locked links

I'll be really happy if you'd tell where I could find any of these stories! :D
