Fanworks Friday: Icons on LJ — A Soon To Be Lost Art?

May 3, 2013 by Leta

Now that Tumblr is taking over fandom, the small 100×100 pictures known as icons or avatars on LiveJournal seem to be losing importance. There was a time when icons were an art in and of themselves with entire communities dedicated to them. Now it seems they’ve fallen prey to Tumlbr, too.
