icon check

[marcicat]

A couple days ago I took a picture of my hot chocolate (as one does):

And then I thought to myself, “I wonder if that would make a good icon?”

And then I thought, “Don’t I already have an icon kind of like that?”

And THEN I thought, “Maybe I should categorize my icons, because that would be sort of like doing something productive, but more fun and less — well, productive.”

So, by the numbers:

Out of 99 icons, 20 of them are cats.

13 are birds, with a subset of 8 ‘birds standing on one leg.’

A whopping 29 are ‘other animals,’ including unicorns, dinosaurs, badgers, and the alot.

I’ve also got 11 ‘nature’ icons and five I lumped under ‘people.’ (Does Misha Collins need his own category?)

Which doesn’t at all add up to 99. But it did prompt me to make a suggestion to dw_suggestions about how awesome it would be to be able to sort by icons the same way we sort by tags.

[Questions:]

[Is a tiger a cat? Or, because it's Hobbes, should it count as fandom? What about a DW Dreamsheep Uhura? Computers, animals, or fandom? Do cat pawprints in snow count under cats, or nature? Do wings around a heart count as a person, or should I just accept the necessity of a miscellaneous category?]
