Banner Gallery HERE for tempertemper, clockwork_hart1 and juliet316, including a Banner Maker's Choice. Congratulations to all the winners of this round!

********

This was my second time making awards banners and someday oh someday I will make it easier on myself by having a preset design and placing icons atop it like sensible people do. Until then...each of the banners was individually made and ipiccy has no way for me to size the font exactly. Still, I think they came out pretty good, and relatively consistent when standing side-by-side. (Minor flaws are part of the charm, of course, like the slubby weave on a raw silk blouse. So says I.) Your feedback is always appreciated and valued - what say you, Gentle Reader?

If I had known that awards banners existed and that someday I'd be making such, I'd have picked a shorter screenname two years ago. Think of the banner makers, people, think of the artists!

FYI: the deadline for Challenge 29 of slayerstillness is Friday August 1st, (ETA: deadline extended to August 8th per starry_night) midnight at your time zone. The prompt this time around is "The Freshman" (btvs S4.01) and you know what I'm thinking, don't you?

WHAT THE HELL WAS YOUR PROBLEM WITH "MATURE" WOMEN, JOSS WHEDON?

You already know this, but I'll tell you again that I think your banners are marvelous!

Also, thank you for the Maggie Walsh banner, though I must admit that part of my fondness for her is that she is played by Lindsay Crouse. Lindsay Crouse! The star of House of Games! Only one of the coolest, most original actresses on the planet! Did I happen to mention she was the star of House of Games?

Sorry. I have a House of Games "thing."

You may have *lol* when I watched S4 and was dissatisfied by how little they gave her to do and then they suddenly killed Maggie off I went into repeat rant mode: "You people hire LINDSAY CROUSE, only one of the GREAT American actors of the 20th century and premier interpreter of the works of David Mamet, give her almost nothing to do and then KILL HER OFF? WTF??"

Gosh but I'm tired of American tv and movies having an embarrassment of riches when it comes to female actors "of a certain age" and not knowing what to do with them.

*note to self: watch House of Cards asap*

And thank you again for the compliments, sweetie! Coming back from the MRI today on the bus I was thinking "I should have done....I should have redone...." etc. That sort of thinking? It has its place but it also gets in the way of moving forward on new things, IMO.

Actually she was supposed to be a larger bad but she decided to leave early.

And if I'd have read all the comments first, I would have seen you already knew that. :P
