The Authors,The Fics and The Bad Wallpaper Maniacs - FINALE!

[Emms]

My brain hurts trying to untangle all these quotes.

[Spighy]

Sorry, Emms

CesBoss, I'm not ambitious, I'm just realistic and I'm not pouty! I'd just knackered my knee when that photo was taken, I had every reason to pout!

Thianne, sì ho capito, e non posso darti torto però la mia lunga permanenza su questo forum mi ha insegnato che qui la maggioranza dei postanti sono di genere femminile un bacio!

Dr. Maniac

[FineyMcFine]

Ooh, I love it! I especially like the effect of the "graying out" (with checkers) of the Willow on the right and the couple on the left. And the scrolly border - the way the border hugs all the images in a curvacious way makes me think of memories and nostalgia. Fan-tastic, Auburn.

It will be so impactful (™Sallypants)

Shaddup, you.

Hiya Miss “Gem” Maniac

Ooh you’ve made a really wonderful wallpaper, especially the combination of black and white and colour works very well. Love the pictures, font and the brush effects too .

Very well done

See, Rosey? I'm not the only one with weird screen resolutions!

Yep I see Val but as you know I kinda have a weird screen resolution too, 1280x1024 and I don’t even resize my wallpapers to fit the screen . I'm used to them being out of proportion .

[Thianne]

i know it will seem completely off topic, but....could someone explain me what does "dibs" mean? i mean, i'm reading it everywhere, i don't know if it's written by the same 2 or 3 kittens, but i just....i'm curious. so, what does "dibs" mean?

[Emms]

Dibs means that you made it to the thread first and you're calling dibs to hold your place as first feedbacker.

[Thianne]

oh, okay. got it. thanks

ETA: i'm a flaming O! YAY! hey, did anybody notice that it seems flamingo, the animal? or is it just me?

[Candleshoe]

did anybody notice that it seems flamingo, the animal?

I never noticed that!!

[the hero factor]

Gemma - That is such a gorgeous wp. I love the texture on the pic of W/T from Real Me. And I really like the "you can take the girls..." quote under the title. Great job.

More replies.

Emms - Smokin' is what I was shooting for. Thank you!

Sandman78 - Hot/horny Tara is pretty wonderful. Thanks!

Guppy -

It has the same feel as the story itself

That's really great to hear, Guppy. Thanks!

watty -

It will be so impactful (™Sallypants) if it were a full sized posted pasted all over our subway walls.

Wouldn't that be cool. And not just 'cause I made the thing, but because a Smut Bunnies movie would be awesome.

Thanks, watty!

and amber benson is so hot....she's got to be the hottest woman on the planet....

Seconded!

[Renee85]

Am I late? Auburn, loving the new update! I adore the fic that this is dedicated to and it’s good to see brought to like so to speak with this wallpaper. I just think it looks plain cool, I love the dark colors, the pictures, I like the sparkly star effects, and the swirly border effect. Oh and I LOVE the main picture towards the left, I had that as my icon for quite awhile. Looking real good, you did a fantastic job.

woo hoo! dibs! again!

ETA:

i have seen the changes you've made in this wallpaper. i thought it was already good as it is but when i did see how you changed it around, i was impressed that you've made something even better with it... you have the eye of selecting the perfect pictures and colors and complementing them...

another good job angie!

Second DIBS!!!!

Hiya Angie

Love the wallpaper and especially the pics and the whole layout and you must know that I also love the other version you made. But that's because I love pink so much

Very well done


~Rosey~

[Sandman78]

OMG ...Beautiful. That scene is one of the hottest moments between Willow and Tara, one of my personal favorites
Now I'm off to read Relinquished Symmetry...

[Thianne]

that would make me what? fourth dibs? now that i know what the heck that means i'm gonna use it AAAAAALLLLL the time! anyway, i loved the wp. it's powerful and luminous, and sensual...just like the scene in the show. i really loved it. good job! *pats on the shoulder, with an enthusiastic smile* (oh my, so anya!)

[Willow Watcher]

I love it! Those are my favorite 'spells' (ok well they're all my favorites)
Anyway, it's a beautiful piece.

[DreamLover]

Auburn I like it especially the little baby hand in the middle.

the hero factor The white background makes it dreamy and the pics of that ep... symbolize so much. It's great.

Henny

[JustSkipIt]

I love, love, love that wallpaper. I mean it just shows so much about how innocent and loving and trusting they were in that episode (my favorite episode most days). And actually, seeing that wallpaper made me go back and read a few updates of that story.

Also... Yay, I think I'm next!

[Guppy]

Another gorgeous one! I adore that moment and the pictures you chose were perfect. The layout is fantastic too. It's simple but elegant. Love it all!!! Thank you!

[watty]

I very rarely change my wallpaper, and it's usually some photo that I took myself. I just changed it on my 1440x900 non-weird (so there, Boss Maniac ) macbook to this. It's an unusual wallpaper, it's not like many wallpapers I've seen, but I don't mean it in a bad way. It's more modern and avant-garde, almost like a cover of a CD of Britpop / New Wave Band; or a coffee table book you get from the Museum of Modern Art bookstore ... does this make sense?

What I'm trying to say is, there's something quietly intelligent about Cyd's work, and there's the same sense of understated brilliance about this wallpaper that really appeals to me.

[Artemis]

Really nice composition, with all the images creating a multiple-viewpoint 'sense' of the moment of the spell. Kind of like what they tried to do in the Hulk movie, with the split-screening, only that didn't work so well a lot of the time... this does, really well.

Also, Tara's hair looks so silky in the top-right image

[Spighy]

Hey Angie you know, I think that often the colour white isn't treated as a colour at all, it's mostly underused... you on the other hand treated it as such, using it to encase the pics of our girls doing (*ahem*) spells and keeping the focus on them. Great job!

[SJ]

Another great wallpaper.

[FineyMcFine]

I love it! I really like the use of white space in this one, it really sets off the pictures and the way the eye flows from text to pictures, left to right, top to bottom. Very elegant and its lack of crowded-ness speaks volumes. So great.

[Emms]

I have to agree with Sally. I really like the white background also and the way each picture sort of flows into the next. love it.

I don't think it's any secret that if I had a chance I'd keep Hermitfish locked in a room somewhere with nothing but some bottled water and Microsoft Word (oops did that come off sounding...insane? ) but since that is not an option I'll just have to replace that want with other hermitfish centered themes...see where I'm going with this?

Briliant wallpaper!!! It's going to be a hard time trying to pry this one off my desktop...but I'm sure whatever "ya'll" *cough, cough*, come up with next will have me thinking twice about that stance (as firm as I am on it )

xoxo
Emms

[Auburn]

Hello fellow maniac Ah yes, lots of spells although I haven't read this story either. I'm a bad kitten! .

It isn't a complicated design and desplays the screen caps perfectly. I'm sure it does absolute justice to it's story. Well done, Angie.

Gem xx

[the hero factor]

tarebear - Hey, Ces. Glad you like the changes. And I'm glad that when I suddenly posted the completely changed wallpaper you were totally cool about it.

Rosey - I did like the pink, too, but ultimately I decided I wanted to go with something a bit simpler. Thank you, Rosey.

Sandman78 - Yeah, the flaming O in Who Are You is my pick for sexiest scene in the series, definitely. And I hope you enjoy Relinquished Symmetry, it's a great story.

Thianne - Those two spells are very important to the plot of Relinquished Symmetry, so I'm glad you think I captured the moments. And btw, nice Anya impression.

Willow Watcher - Gotta love the spells. And the "spells." Thanks!

Henny - I was going for dreamlike/memory quality because those two spells happened in the past before the fic begins. Thanks.

JustSkipIt - Thank you, Debra. And hmm...you think you're next, huh? Now what makes y'all think that?

Guppy - I wanted simple, so that's nice to hear. Thank you, Guppy.

watty - Thank you for the lovely praise, watty. I'm really happy you like the wp.

Chris - Yeah, Tara is so pretty in that scene. Glad to know you like the layout. Thanks.

Spighy - Hey fellow Maniac! Thank you. Glad to hear you like the white background.

SJ - Thank you!

SallyMcFine - Thank you, Sally. I had the background pink at first, but I felt that it overwhelmed the pics, so I changed it to white. Good to know it worked for you.

Emms -

I don't think it's any secret that if I had a chance I'd keep Hermitfish locked in a room somewhere with nothing but some bottled water and Microsoft Word (oops did that come off sounding...insane? )

Hee! And yes. It sounds insane. Thanks, Emms.

Gemma - Thank you, Gem. And hey! You're up tomorrow. Have fun!

[Emms]

The new wallpaper is so prettyfull!!! Luv it. Luuuuve Debra, (of course) and luv chestnut!! (For some reason the horse totally cracks-me-up!! )
