Fanwork Type: One story banner.

I am willing to include: Pixel size is your choice, but I have two versions I usually work in (but not always): one for 'portrait/page' style and one for 'thin banner' style. I will try and fit into the banner as many screenshots as you request. Story title and Author name will be prominent (or not, if you wish). I can do minor photo-manipulation if required. eg. You have a picture of Lois in a red dress, but you want it blue, or you want the dress longer, etc.

I am not willing to include: Pictures, titles, words, etc which are above PG. Unrealistic romantic pairings. (Lex/Jimmy, Lois/Perry etc - URGH *feels sick*)

Any further information: You must be the Author of whatever story this banner is for. I will send you 'proofs' along the way. Usually: Basic premise, Proof 1, Proof 2, Final. Fonts, colours, borders styles etc will be discussed during one of these proofing stages. No guaranteed delivery time due to these proofing stages being flexible.

Example:


(For those of you interested ... fic coming soon!!!)

Full range of art examples here .

I'm going to start off the bidding at $5 for one of these Banner thingys. It looks like cover art for a story and I've got a couple of coverless epics, which could use some pretty pictures (or not, depending on the story).

I'd like to see what you come up with, and since I don't know what stories of mine you've read, I'll narrow it down to:

Missing Lois

Green-Eyed Monster

Another Dimension, Another Time, Another Lois

or my current WIP

Wrong Clark (I don't think I need to link you to that monster.)

Artist's choice. Surprise me.

I've read them all. I'd love to make a cover for any of them. Let's see if you win!!!!

Come on, people! KatherineKent ROCKS at this! She has been kind enough to do art for my upcoming sequel, Hidden Threats. I've also seen her work on other boards... You can't go wrong, and you'll have a memorable way to capture your story... I'd love to see what she could do with some of Female Hawk's interesting settings, for example. Hint, hint

OK, I'll throw in a bid.

$10 for a Momentum banner!

Kathy

/walks quietly in and ups bid to $15/

Sneaks in and throws a $20 on the table...

You do such amazing work


(I have a story I'm in the middle of writing--anything to up the reader interest when I post, being it's my first official fanfic--I figure is a good thing )


Laura

/scratches head/ I don't know how *other* writers pick one their stories...

http://www.lcfanfic.com/author_m.htm#Michael

Oh well, I guess I'd have to first not be out-bid to worry about those issues

/makes it an uneven 25/

Michael

/sneaks back in/ Stiff competition.

/Holds up SM crest with my number on it./ $30.

Let's see... If I add another fiver... /raises bid to $35/

Michael

Hmmmm. I see that my previous bid disappeared in the upgrade.

$40

Hmm... Last day... Maybe I should bid $45.

Michael

Mine! This banner will be mine, I say! Precious.


$50.

Hmm... considering the likeliness of Virginia outbidding me again due to me testdriving my pillow very soon, I think I'll bow out.

Virginia, if you feel like I gave in too easily and want another raise, you're welcome to pretend I upped the bid to fifty-five so you can jump in again and grab the grand prize!

Michael

Wait! Did you up it or not? With it seeming likely for me to win Wendy's Beta services, $50 is the highest I can go in this auction. (she says, looking above her for vultures coming in at the last minute for a quick kill... er... bid.).

WINNER:

VirginiaR, at a bid of $50. Congratulations!!


Wendy

This, too! Awesome! Where's my wallet? I'm so excited! KatherineKent, expect proof coming soon!

Congrats, Virginia!
no, did not outbid you. Just wanted to give you the option to go for 60, if you wanted to and depending your spending plan
Michael

Thanks, Michael. Hey, didn't you just go to sleep? Are you on the LnC 4 hour plan? (4 hours of sleep, gives you 4 hours longer to read FanFic.)

EDIT: My mistake. For some reason I thought you went to sleep 5pm Board Time, not a couple hours earlier. Ooopps... Never mind.

Well. It's been interesting and exciting seeing you two fight it out for this. I didn't expect there to be so much interest as we are much more about the 'fic' on these boards than anything else.

Story banners/front covers/posters are much bigger on Ksite. Almost every story gets one (of ranging quality).

I'll be in contact soon Virginia. Looks like we won each other's auctions too! How cool is that.

Michael ... you want a banner so badly? PM me ... lets see what I can do.

It's on my to-do list for this week. And umm... I kind of got into it, especially with me thinking about Wedding Crashers and Lynn just happening to dig out that old story, it kind of...yeah

Michael

As long as there's $$$ for the boards in the deal, we're all for it!

Wendy

You've all got to see what awesome work KatherineKent did on my cover: It looks fabulous! Definitely worth every donation penny and then some!



I've already added it to my TOC page! You're the best, KK!

Ooooooh. Pretty! Well done, Katherine.

LabRat

Very nice!

Michael

Looks great! Katherine--you are good!

Laura

Thanks Virginia. Thanks everyone.

It's been a while since I did any story banners - they are much more popular on K-site for Smallville fics.

I really enjoyed doing this and the one I did recently for mozartmaid.

Now I'm looking forward to doing one for Michael too.

Looks great!! Thanks again for mine!

If anyone wants to see, go here.

Congrats, Virginia!!

Okay, I finally got around to fixing the links and content for The Wedding Crashers so I can now post KatherineKent's awesome story banner:



She is a great artist, isn't she? And I'm with Virgina on this; the side bid was so totally worth it. Thank you, Vic!

Michael

Another great job, KK. Oh, dear. Worried about Lois though. Hee-hee. Did Lex accidentally marry a shape shifting alien? /Need to go back and download this story on to Nook, instead of trying to read it from the Archives where it's too difficult to bookmark my spot during the 1001 interruptions to my day./
