Banner and a rec
If y'all aren't reading Aloof Rocker Kryptonite, you should be. I'm just sayin'. (It's an All-human WIP, though, so if you've an allergy to those, stay clear.) Three chapters in, and this new author is totally making me smile. It has a few flaws, but generally speaking, it's great. And given the seemingly never ending torrent of, well. . . this is unlocked, and god forbid I offend any delicate sensibilities, so let's just say that stumbling into a fun, well-written, and engaging story from a brand new author was quite a nice surprise.
Anyway, I didn't think I could do story banners, but doing the one for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dampersnspoons got me thinking I could, and so I've been meaning to try my hand at another one. This seemed as good as any to start out on. I have no idea if she'll even use it, so instead of waiting to find out, I thought I'd post it here and hope she won't care. I'm guessing not. hahaha And, besides, as Beth pointed out to me the other day, it's mine, I can post it. She's a very smart woman.
I learned my save early and save often lesson with this one. I was nearly done and PS locked up. Poof. All gone. Luckily I pretty much remembered everything I'd done to that point, minus a few specifics like exact colors of fill layers, but whatever. It's all sorted and now I save like a demon, and this one isn't hugely different than the first one. I think I'm proudest about something you can't even see because JM is covering most of it up. The attention whore. I kid! Yeesh, enough rambling about the boring process of getting this thing together. On to the banner. . . and read that story, darn it!

I love it when an artist puts a thumbnail version of their art in a post. I usually put the larger version in a cut below it so that it is actually on my LJ. I don't really like having to click on an image and being sent out of LJ and to where the image is stored online. I had to backspace to get back to LJ and your post so that I could comment here.
The banner is very nicely done. Makes me want to the read the story even more now. :)

Thanks! She did like it. Phew! :D

I don't really mind about the image being linked to vs. full size in the journal. I tend to do a thumbnail image then the bigger one under the cut... but then that always pushes my layout off. But either way is fine :D
I've bookmarked that fic to read later, as I don't have an allergy to all human :D

Thanks, too, for the feedback about the cut/no-cut thing. Looks like it's a tie on the issue at the moment. Which means I'll probably still be waffling about it a month from now. I'm a waffler, what can I say? :D
I really hope you'll enjoy the story as much I have been, it's just a ball to read. :D

At least you use cuts/thumbnails, I reallly hate it when people put huge images or uber-long posts outside of a cut.
no subject
And yeah, I'm with you on hating when the cut isn't used. It's such a simple courtesy. Especially when, oh, for example, there's a manip with Buffy's ass on it above the cut and I'm at work. :\ < /crabby > :D

Thank you, for using stock photos available and utilizing the awesome that the characters are without giving them weird beards or 5-heads that are blurry. Thank you also, for not putting their heads on bodies with bad tribal tattoos and clothing fit for an '80s break-dance-a-thon.
This one is awesome, and hell yeah she liked it! SHE BETTER LIKE IT.

Thank you, darlin'! :D

And JM has a nice body to begin with *points at icon for proof*, why put his head on someone elses? :D
