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] 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 read the fic earlier, really liked it - so thanks for recc'ing it :)

At least you use cuts/thumbnails, I reallly hate it when people put huge images or uber-long posts outside of a cut.

Yay! I'm so happy you liked it. :D It's just fun, isn't it?

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
