It's coming up on Valentine's Day, and since I haven't put much out by way of graphics, I thought I'd make some banners and sorta story art (for stories that haven't been written yet, so you writers out there, that's a hint, really it is!) AND icons, of course. All Giles pairings - my favorite ones.

So Happy Early VD!

I will comment on the art once it finishes loading and I can see it. The *subject* line, however, gave me a doubletake, even with that disclaimer on the end. *g* (I'll take "fic that never needs to be written" for a thousand, Alex. :) )

From:

that_mireille

And now I will comment. (I have, obviously, run off with the G/X wallpaper, which I will stare at regularly and hope I write something from it, and the icons, which I will upload later, as every time you do G/X icons, my friendslist gets confusing because we all have the same icons. :) )

Absolutely gorgeous, all of them; I really like the colors in the Buffy ones.

From:

YAY! thank you darling, for the smashing feedback. And you know I adore making g/x to tempt you with (and, ok, i'm probably evil because i like the confsuion...)

and if you ever get to the point where you need/want anything custom for any kind of fic, you just have to say the word. you know that, right? :D

Oh, there's incentive to keep working on Sleep While I Drive, right there. ;)

(Really, that's very, very sweet, and I'm sure I'll be asking you for something sometime, because I love your graphics so much!)

Does that extend to me too?? *looks at you with wide eyes and an expression of barely repressed want*

You know, we're working on two cowritten projects, Mir and I, and erm... Banners would be fun. *nods*

Hee!

Also, may I please display your beautiful G/X banner, wallpaper and icons on No One Knows? We need more art. :D

From:

How can I resist the puppy look?? I can't! Anything you want dear one - i may not be able to do it *quickly* but I would be totally happy to make you whatever you like!

And I do know (*bounces happily at the prospect*) ... does this mean that you'd be willing to leak details so i could make you some banners for them?

Of course you can! I'm tickled to death that you want them! (and i can't believe this is my first g/x banner... must make more of those soon)

From:

soft-princess.livejournal.com

does this mean that you'd be willing to leak details so i could make you some banners for them?

We'd have to ask the Boss Of Me^tm, but I think it would possible, once we're done with the first draft of each fic, to let you have a sneak peak so that you have plenty of time while we do the revisions, to make us a banner for them in time for when we post them. Boss Of Me^tm will have final words on this, but yes, I think it's possible. ;)

In the meantime... Dreamland? Totally banner worthy. *G* Weee :D

And yes, you need to make more G/X banners. The world needs them to survive. *g*

*squishes you tight*

From:

LOL - the BOM? it's trademarked now? whenever you're ready sweetest - you can give me hazy details if you both don't want to spoil the fun for me too, i don't mind.

and dreamland?! i did not know you wanted pretties for dreamland! how big? *bounces at the thought*

and yes, you are right about that - i definitely need to make more g/x banners! soon!

*twirls you around with the squishes*

please ignore any incoherence in this reply - it's all the wine's fault!

From:

soft-princess.livejournal.com

Yup, the BOM is trademarked. (not really, but it's still fun) The crackfic will be done first, and I'm thinking before the end of the month. :D So we'll give you hazy details then I think. (Like the pairings, and... well, it's crack) The other fic is going more slowly (it is serious plotfic, not crack, so... it's a bit more longish to write), but probably around April or so, it should be done.

As for Dreamland? Sweetie, no one ever, EVER, offered to do any pretties for me, ever, in the five years I've been writing fic. So I do not ask. But yes, please, I would love some for Dreamland. :D (And anything else of mine you want to make pretties for) Heee!

*squishes you tight tight tight*

(I am currently uploading the music I listen to when writing Dreamland, so you can have inspiration :D I'll make a post on my LJ when I'm done)

From:

Ok, I cannot believe that in all the years you've been doing fandom stuff no one has offered to make you artwork?!? THAT is a *travesty* That must be recitified as soon as possible....

HENCE:

I give you this little thing set that I'm not quite sure works, although I think i'm in love with the header, and I've wanted to make into a Dreamland manip since i first saw the picture... but *you tell me*!

(click cuz there are larger and clearer and prettier versions of the images below!)

elizabuffy.livejournal.com

You know, we're working on two cowritten projects, Mir and I

Really? I did not know this! Does no one tell me anything these days? *pout*

...unless, of course, they've not been published to the public-at-large, in which case I'll tuck my hijacking tail between my legs and scamper off.

~e!

From:

soft-princess.livejournal.com

Hehe! They haven't been released yet. There's a crackfic and a plotfic, and both of them bring the glee. They won't be posted for a while yet, though. :D

From:

elizabuffy.livejournal.com

*sniff* I guess I'll just have to be a patient little EB, then (seriously, you have no idea how hard that is, lol).

~e!

From:

heeheheheheeeeeee. it's one of the many reasons why I love valentine's day. cuz then I can say: Happy VD! and mean it!

(and you know you wanna... you know you do!! it's like the funny syphilis!!)

From:

elizabuffy.livejournal.com

I actually went straight off and stole one of you icons! Isn't she purty? Now, I have to go upload a lot more to make up for the ones I deleted.

Also, I noticed there's no icon for the really purty soft-pink b/g banner *sniffle*

~e!

From:

yay!! i love her!! (i can say that, right?) and i'm gonna have to go check out how many spaces you have left open... i think house cleaning is a good thing from time to time...

and sadly, i didn't make one - those types of banners are a little hard to make into icons i like. but is that a hint? ;)

From:

elizabuffy.livejournal.com

Eeep! That fact that you wrote that makes it that much cooler! No wonder it was perfect. You are so totally awesome!

And nope, it wasn't really a hint...more an observation. I mean, if I was going to use the banner? Then yes, it would have been a hint. However, I have this amazingly gorgeous banner I adore *grin*.

~e!

From:

entrenous88.livejournal.com

Very neat idea, to present some of the pairings/possibilities in enticing graphics form. :D

From:

thanks! i figure it's the best way i can provide temptation (especially since i'm totally crap at doing things like prompts).

From:

only-passenger.livejournal.com

really stunning work all around.

From:

thank you! they were a ton of fun to do.

From:

eurydice72.livejournal.com

These are gorgeous. Would you believe I've had a Ripper/Faith bunny that I've never had the nerve to try? Your artwork makes me want to revisit the idea.

From:

Thank you darling! And really????? *bounces like mad* is there any thing i can do to encourage that bunny to hop closer? that's one of my fav pairings and there really isn't much fic out there (and what there is i've gobbled right up)

From:

scratchingpost1.livejournal.com

I love the "Giles/Buffy: like my dreams of you" banner. It goes great with my current color scheme.

From:

thank you lady! if you want it customized just let me know...

From:

nemo-88.livejournal.com

Oh my, Kate these are goregous! Awesoem job, hun! Really love the styles you have played with! I love the first B/G and the Giles/faith one!

From:

*twirls you around* thanks darling! i'm glad you liked!

From:

catvampcrazines.livejournal.com

Subject line... tee hee.

Oh, look at the pretties! I snagged the g/f banner and will credit of course.

I snagged the g/f wallpaper, but also the g/oc because the coloring is so pretty and eye catching *G*.

Thanks so much for making and sharing these!

What a lovely VD gift. *wink*

From:

YAY! I was hoping that they would tempt you since I had you in mind (and your request on my silly "tell me what to make" post)!

and thank you for the lovely compliments sweetie! happy VD! *giggles*

*hugs*

From:

catvampcrazines.livejournal.com

*squish* Well, thanks for thinking of me hun! hee.

From:

lostgirlslair.livejournal.com

Wow! That's some gorgeous work, darlin'! I love the Giles/Wes, and Giles/Xander, and Giles/Spike, er, but how could I not? *G* Also, I'm really digging the first Giles/Buffy, too! Lovely!

From:

thanks darling! these were totally fun to make, and i'm so glad you liked! even pairings you don't normally go for :D

From:

thspace-between.livejournal.com

Gah! I hope you didn't enter in the

beegee_icontest cause I'd lose for sure!

Wow! These are gorgeous Kat! I of course nabbed the Giles/Faith stuffies!

Holy crap! I'm so going to have you manip me into the middle of a David Boreanaz and Seth Green sandwich! *grin*

From:

awww! your banner was great darling - don't lose hope about beegee icontest!

and someday, i will do that manip for you! *grin*

thanks for the rockin' feedback :D

From:

thspace-between.livejournal.com

PS, the quotes on the Giles/Faith stuffies...what does it read and from where because you've actually inspired me to write a fic with those two.

From:

ooo!!

From:

that was weird, the comment totally sent before I was ready! I meant to say *BOUNCES LIKE MAD* Giles/FAith!!!!! I will be adoring you forever!

it's from this poem:

NIGHTFALL

We have taken the night
like a Persian black cat
into bed with us;
your fingers stoking my body's heat
are the glittering red
glassware of my childhood,
are scents suddenly
remembered and pungent;
dark rivers under your hair
as under remote bridges.
I feel with my hands
The cool rain bark of your limbs.

Afterwards lying on our backs
like pillowed sovereigns
we decree space
and allow thought and the room's objects
to separate us;
abstract and personal
we turn
in the round cavity of sleep

IRVING LAYTON

Each one is more amazing than the last. Seriously, they are ALL stunning. Absolutely fabulous work!

From:

*hugs you* Thank you!! that is such an awesome compliment! I'm all blushy now! :D
