For Gundam Wing Fans: "To outer space, every one of us!" ~ Quatre, ep. 17

Our 6800th pic on the site, which I posted tonight, of my favorite pilot, Quatre.
I've not been posting many pictures for this month--yet, at least. I'll do what I can. I'm still typing with only 9 fingers these days, after receiving an injury. The cast is off but I still have to wear the splint.
I have, however, not been totally lazy site-wise in the past few months. I sorted through the 7,000 pictures on Photobucket for Gundam Wing looking for new stuff. I've also created the new chibi trans gundams pages, with more to come next month for Epyon, Leo and Taurus. I posted a 54-pic screenshot slideshow of when OZ soldier Trowa arrests Heero. I have new cell phone themes to post after I consult with my daughter/co-webmistress, Tegan, about which versions she likes best. And I have a new non-chibi fic bouncing around in my head.
When sifting through the Photobucket pics, I was disappointed to see two pictures there which I recognize as being from my private files, which I share with people who write to us. The person who posted them didn't change the names of the pictures so I know they are ours. They were posted with several pictures from our site which I allow to be reposted, but the pictures from my private files are NOT to be shared with anyone else, they are a gift from us to the person we sent them to ONLY. The reason for this is that my private files pictures consist mostly of Japanese fanartists' pictures which were taken directly from the artist's sites and sent to me by friends, which is why they do not appear on the site. When I share pictures from my private files I always tell the recipient that if they keep the pictures to please put them in a folder on their computer labeled Forbidden so they will not accidentally be sent to other sites to be posted. This is the first instance I've seen in all these years of someone doing this. To their credit, though, there may have been no malice intended by the person who posted them; it may not have occured to them that unless Photobucket pictures are made private they are open to public viewing.
So, back to posting pictures I go. In Photobucket I found a dj pic of Trowa having a bad hair day so I think I'll post that next. ^_^
