Thank you! It was my first icon when I hopped onto LJ a decade ago and I'd
resisted going with something more fannish for a default. She's followed
me to AO3 and Tumblr, too. I've had other default icons over the years,
but when I fully migrated over to DW and made my site a lot more fandom
neutral, I decided that she's still my best reflection.
It's a sad thing but there have been times when enough people thought that
it was a selfie (oh, I wish!) that I would do a double take when someone
actually recognized it for what it is!
