Some banners with which to pimp the com

[aralias]

If you have Photoshop, you can also easily make your own! I've uploaded the bases for my mutilated M&B covers here. Just download and put the photo of your choice on the bottom layer (I added more yellow and more red in Image>Variations, but you don't have to). And/or you can send me a link to a picture and I'm very happy to mock up whatever.

Please do pimp the com, if you can. Particularly in places (Tumblr and Twitter) or fandoms that I'm not active on/in. I want to bring in as many people as possible for only thus will as much exciting, different and excellent stuff be produced as is possible.

P.S. There are plenty more in the comments!

I unfortunately had to delete my Photobucket copies of the (*cough* very random) banners I made last time (see above), sorry, but they do still exist and can be found on my Tumblr: http://lost-spook.tumblr.com/post/42832569305/theres-a-new-comm-started-up-on-dreamwidth-a

(Doctor Who, Sapphire & Steel, Julius Caesar, Red Dwarf, Press Gang & The Good Life. As I said, slightly random. :-D)

I may go and make some more, because I think I have actually lost any of the halfway sensible ones I made. /o\

i'm glad they survived! i admit i was sad when i saw the holder boxes in the comments. and i'm pleased you're making some more :D your choice of image is always strangely compelling.

:lol: Strangely compelling, heh. I'll take it as a compliment... ;-)

Let's see if this works for my motley selection:

Legend of the Seeker:




Primeval:



Shadow of the Tower

(Because you could totally write Elizabeth of York/Henry VII as a M&B summary exactly as they are. He had won a kingdom - and the bride he needed to secure his throne! He probably just shouldn't have killed her uncle, but... Well. Maybe...)


OUaT



The Hour



The Avengers



House of Eliott


ETA: Making banners makes it VERY TEMPTING to sign up. But I have been so bad with ficathons, and also am thinking maybe I could try remix, and I can't do both. *looks sternly at self*

[aralias]

again - these work really well! there is a definitely mills and boon-yness about them - particularly the bottom half.

although i am pretty sure you did the primeval one before (Because it looks a lot like amy/rory and i was convinced for ages that it was), and perhaps even the shadow of the tower on - because i recognise it... ;) but if they are no longer lost, that is good!

as for signing up - maybe dont do it until you have an idea and you've already written most of the fic :) that worked well for you last time.

[thisbluespirit]

:loL: You are right, of course, except last time I had an idea by about halfway down the list and signed up for the first day because it was already done by now.

And I thought I'd done the Primeval one before. I don't remember doing Shadow of the Tower, so it might be my icon I have of that/similar screencap. Or maybe I did one. I just thought I put all the really obscure ones on my Tumblr, and that definitely would count as obscure. (Whereas I didn't put the Primeval or Spooks ones on there.)

Ooh, awesome! I was v sad when I saw the placeholder boxes. :P Photobucket, stop being evil at lost_spook. *shakes fist*

[thisbluespirit]

Well, it's not so much Photobucket as some hotlinker, but, still... Photobucket are probably evil, really. *nods* I am deleting and deleting and I still haven't caught the culprit icon. Thanks! :-)
