Story banner - From the Ashes

I spent the other day reading another of zennjenn's stories over on ff.net -- really a great story line, and the girl can seriously tell a story. Spike's not a vampire in it, but Buffy's the slayer, and it's a few years post-NFA, and well, you just need to read it to understand. It's not perfect, but it's really very good, and I definitely suggest checking it out. Your patience will be rewarded, as AB says. Oh, a link would help, huh? hahah From the Ashes

Anyway, I wanted to make a banner for it, and here's the result. I'm not comfortable blending screencaps and such, but still and all, I'm pretty pleased with it.

Thanks, Dawn!

I'm glad you liked the story. Don't just tell me, tell her, too. :)

I'm so going to tell her, like right now.
ext_15429: (yay!)

Yay! I keep hoping more reviews will get her writing more stories for Spike & Buffy. :D

Wow! I really love the muted coloring on Buffy in this banner. And hello sexy James! I have never seen that pic before... nom nom nom. I haven't read this fic, but I am slowly making my way through all your recs because your recs rule! You are now my absolute rec genie - which is just another reason to <3 you more! :)

Thanks! Those "Chosen" caps can be a pain to work with, they're so over-saturated. I'm thrilled you like how Buffy turned out. James, well, yeah... He's pretty much always nommable. Ok, not when he's a green alien. But other than that. . .lol

Let me know what you think of the story. I'm pretty sure it'll be a hit, but you never know. I'll have to keep my standards up when it comes to recs, I guess! There's pressure now. ;) *glomps you*
