ARG. Help please?

[kate]

So, I knew when we finally went live with the kinkmeme, things we missed would come to light (we just didn't have the time to go over and over and over the posts for weeks - we did this all in a few days (sucking up WAAAAAY more of my work and non-work hours than it should have)).

This thoughtful commenter gave us what-for for excluding the ladies (and they were right). And dammit, I tried SO HARD to be inclusive with the examples, that my co-mods said 'uh, that's unreadable' and asked me to strip them out. So I did. But without the thoughtfulness I put into them in the first place.

As far as the banners, I did ask for one that was not John/Rodney, because I am EXTREMELY aware of my bias, both toward them and toward slash. I even suggested John as the second banner (for the non-pairing and gen folk) because he seems to be the most popular character all around (even though Rodney is my favorite). It was totally my fail for not suggesting a woman, women, or even the team.

I hate it when I try really really hard and fail anyway (yes, yes, I know, pity me, right). Okay, pity party over.

In order to fix my fail (because I have not the skills, dammit), any of you lovely people out there have time to make a few banners with femslash pairings, singular women, rarepairs, or anything else for the sga_kinkmeme? Maybe one with just Atlantis, for the gen folk? (OH GOD NOW I WANT ATLANTIS SOLO KINK...) I will give you virtual cookies and favors and whatever you want if you will help me out, here. <3<3<3

I'll try to make some. Do you have a template? I looked at the others and don't immediately recognize the fonts, but if you don't have a template (or, heck, even if you do), do you need them to follow that format or can I go at least part way to town? :) Should the size stay 320x240 or do you want larger or smaller ones, too? Icons?

And is there a deadline?

Oh you lovely lovely person you!

We don't have a template, we're all for any kind of creativity, and I don't think we honestly care what size the banners are. The ones we have up have been resized; they were much larger before. (I don't know anything about the html that was in there, I just created the link and the textbox around it).

Icons too, would be fantastic! Anything and everything you want to give us would be super-fantastic and greatly appreciated!

Technically, no deadline as the community is rolling - there'll be a post every four weeks - but our first post is going up Monday, and I'd really like to have at least one banner with a female character in it so I can pimp on girlgay and sg_femslash before then.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! What can I do for you in return? (I think I can move my puppy-pile fic up the ranks of things needing to be written, for one... watching The Losers last night, the part where Pooch gets shot and Cougar's yelling his name... it gave me warm fuzzies. And heartache. It was a little weird to have those at the same time.)

You don't have to do anything in return, I love messing around in Photoshop. :) However, if you wanted to write me some Cougar/Pooch h/c, I wouldn't turn it down, because omg that scene just kills me so hard.

So, I made some banners, which I think I should PM or email you with instead of commenting here, because it'd be sort of image-heavy. But I'll do that here in a sec! I haven't made any icons but I'll try to do some tonight or this weekend. :)

I'll see what I can do for you by way of Cougar/Pooch.

P.S. I should mention that because of the whole "being at the office" thing, they're all work-safe except for how they all say "kink meme" in varying degrees of large, bright letters. :)

They are gorgeous, bb, GORGEOUS. <3

♥! I'm really glad you like them. :) I had fun making them.
