something to write a fic about ... especially with both of them linked to Giles!!
Clockwork_hart may have written one (too lazy to check, I am) and I've seen a couple of shippy femmeslash J/J fics - which actually wasn't what I was looking for or wanting - , but not really anything of note or anything that deals with them seriously in canon. So if you're inspired by all means!
as I have yet to watch it I will give it a miss.
Same here.
I must get help, and try to work through the concept of banners.
How so? A banner is just a loose term for anything larger than an icon it seems. Start with what you're doing now but in larger size. that's what I've done - I've got banners that were made in PB, nothing fancy, because they didn't work as icons. This is a good example: http://red-satin-doll.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1041/24161
Now I'm just starting to do layers but you've been using gimp for a while so you ahead of the game. Working bigger makes you want to try other effects just to see what you can do, and I bet yours will be wonderful. You've already got a great sense of color, composition, textures, emotional impact.
kwritten just gave me some tips for how she uses the paint function to create some of the icons she made for Slayerstillness.
