The whole "cartoon girl" or "dolly" thing is WAY overdone here at Lit, according one very large slice of the population.
If you're new here and looking to get an av/icon to call your own, try to find one that's original in some way, one that depicts something about who you are and what's important to you as a person. Try to avoid the temptation to grab another tired silly vacuous cartoon dolly, one that looks like every other dolly in the place but with different clothes.
Don't opt to be boring before you even get started, please.
Many of us aren't apt to give you a second glance if you go the "dolly" route from the beginning. It's especially important if you're an author and not here just to giggle on the GB. If you're an author and will want to participate in the other Forums here at Lit (Author's Hangout, Story & Poetry Feedback, Editor's Forum, etc.), then it might be harder to get people to take you seriously with a little baby dolly hanging off your name. (You know the place has stories and other Forums, right? The authors here are the backbone of this place, to be honest, and the reason it exists.)
Just thought this might be of value to the incoming. No flames intended if you're of the species who prefers the cartoon girls and boys.

Uhh..yes, but please also know that there are many persons here who will not judge you in any way based on whether or not you choose to have an avatar or "dolly". I am a writer as well, though not published on this site (I've not chosen to submit anything as of yet), and I could care less if you have a "dolly" here. If you're a writer, then it is what you write that counts.

This is not a URL that is accessible to the web. You need to have the picture on some website, like a personal webpage at homestead.com or a similar site.

Should be the avtar you're trying to use. It is a bit big for an avatar though. That size picture will distort the BB everytime one of your posts is displayed.
Where is Anakin?
Appearantly he didn't put up his AV? Maybe? I want to see it!
You need a morphing young adult Anakin into Darth...that would be cool.
Did you ever see the thing someone did of Ewan blending into Alex. Unreal how cool it looked. If I run across it again I will link it to here.
