Banner Offer

Nov 09 2007 11:59 pm   #1Always_jbj

I feel like making a few banners, the thing is I don't have time to read a heap of fics to get a feel for the story so if you'd like a banner just let me know the following and I'll see what I can do...

Size: Is there a particular size you want? (default size will be 800 x 400)

Any colours you'd particularly like used: If you don't have a particular colour scheme in mind I'll just use whatever seems to suit the caps.

Characters: (and any important details here like season, mood etc)

Text: Is there any particular text you'd like used on the banner. Please include here the fic title (if it's for a fic) and the exact byline you'd like used.

Note: I don't really do manips (am not comfortable enough with them to offer to do them) so nothing that requires a manip please.

Also, I do have quite a few already made banners that I'm happy to personalise (happy to add or remove text) if you'd prefer one of them.

Ooooh ... pretty!

May I have one please? I'm just about to wrap up my Meet the Pratts/Finding William Pratt/Being William Pratt series and would love to cap it off with such a pretty, pretty thing.

I love your Spike close-up banner. If it hasn't already been promised, and you can put "The Pratts Series" and my name on the banner, I would be thrilled ... and nearly grateful enough to name my unborn child JBJ. ;)

It's a darkish tale, semi-AU. In Part I, Spike is a vampire/singer in LA, where he finds vulnerable (non-Slayer) Buffy and instead of killing her makes friends. With benefits, sexual and financial. Then he skips town. In Part II, she stumbles across him in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (I lived there for a while.) He's a tattoo artist now, and brands her, but this time SHE leaves. Finally, she finds him in London, and there might *just* be a fractured and imperfect happy ending ...

I've never *had* a banner before. Thanks so much!

LOL The Spike closeup banner has been grabbed by a few people for LJ/ IJ banners (including me) and I've also used it for one of my fics. Sorry, that one was snagged VERY quickly.

I am more than happy to make you a banner all of your own though (and as much as I'm sure Jon would appreciate it there's no need to name any children after him--unless of course you want to! lol)

Just let me know what you'd like on the banner... I can do just Spike... or make it Spuffy. Any particular season pics you'd like? Or should I just go play and see what I end up with? lol

Also what text would you like on it? Just Meet the Pratts for the whole series...or three version with the individual story titles on them?

Here you go, Verity.

I decided to just have a play. I hope they're okay--if you'd like anything changed just let me know.

Always_jbj,  I'd love to have a banner done if you are still in the creative mood.  I sent you an email with details.  My story isn't posted yet, but it's complete in rough draft and a couple of chapters are with my beta now.

Sheesh.  Two bads in one.  The above double post is from me.  It's been a long day.  Sorry.

LOL We all have days like that! I got your email and have answered you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm so glad you like them! *whee*

LOL I personally like the first one the best, I really like the caps of both Buffy and Spike in that one.

Hey always, if your up for it, could you do me one for Dark Reflections. I like the Valhalla one, and just one the title of the story, I think the background fits it perfectly. Just get back at me when you get a chance.

Sorry, Daniel, Shadow already claimed that banner for her story and I don't have any more Buffy manips (and am not that good at doing manips).

Wow!  I love them.  The banner is exactly what I was seeing in my mind.  I can't believe you were able to come up with it from just a brief summary of the story and a few lines of dialog that I sent you.

You are brilliant.

<======== Can you tell I like the icon, too?  Thanks for the bonus.

Always, I've been wanting a banner for Shadows (or any of my fics, really, but that one I have an idea of what I want) if you don't mind and you feel like doing one more banner. I think you read that one, but I can email you a summary along with what I've got in my head, idea-wise.

Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat.

I haven't read that one yet, Eowyn... it is actually on my 'to read' list, so I might go start that while I have a few minutes peace and quiet in the house! lol 

If you send me an email with what you'd like (just no summary 'cause I HATE spoilers), I'm more than happy to make you a banner.

Oops... the goal was to *not* make you read fics for this, but I guess if you were gonna read it anyway... :) Thanks, and I'll email you.

Oh my goodness! I just settled long enough to realise that you made me *THREE* banners. That's beyond generous. Now to paste them into my stories, with proper credit and fanfare to you, of course. I'm off to tell my husband that our next child has to be named Jon Bon Jovi. :)
