The Sookieverse's Recreate a Cover Contest

My Creation

Education With Greenabsinthia

Education With Greenabsinthia..... 

now folks that is exactly what it sounds like. lols. 

So lets learn a little about her. She has a addiction towards books you can follow her book blog Scribbles & Stories. Green is one kick ass writer, she wrote The Education Of Sookie Stackhouse. Yes the legendary Education, 

*inserts a picture of a horny smittenskitten* 

So I had no idea she wrote this amazing story even when I talked to her in twitter almost everyday. 

So one day I was you know being myself just dancing around throwing flowers everywhere and blowing my own horn about making banners *snort*  

So green asks me to make one for her. Me being the enthusiastic self I ran to her profile. And the first thing I saw was she already had a banner and get this .... it was made by S.Medows and Zigster. 

 Now a girl who have made only like two gets kindda scared you know. And I practically followed Messie's advice on making banners. 

So I tried to bail out. But green would have none of it. She pifft me and said I should at least give it a try. 

Then I started reading her education. And oh boy what an education it was! Jumped the boy as soon as he got home. Don't think we even made it to the bed room though. hehe.

So after much reading and doing other stuff I gave it a shot. And well it was ok I guess if you saw that and this.

But I had fun reading her story and of course doing other stuff too.

Banner Banter and Making My First Banner For Missus T

Soooooo another banter and so soon too. *pinch* ouch! 

Today I talk about these crazy banner frenzy that I have. It first started out with just a little blinkie which I made with paint and photoshop. Yeah I know so it came out something like this

Yeah not that good and I don't even remember how I did it.

Then I looked around the fandom and tried to make banners by myself as I am too damn shy to ask for help. Can you believe it me shy! 

So after some MORE stalking I found Missie's blog The Unread Reader where she posted how she used gimp. 

You can download gimp free. When I finally figured out how to work gimp I got reaaaally addicted towards banner making. First try wasn't so hot 

See I told you, then tried and tried some more end result - it got a tiny bit better

But meh.

So next I made one for Missus T's Dead On New Years. 

When I was finally done I think I squeeed. hehehe. 

Then I started stalking persuaded Missus and wouldn't let go off her till she caved and let me make Halo Effect banner for her. She is really so freaking nice to me sometimes 

*sniffles*

If you read Halo Effect you already know the story was inspired by a picture of Askars. 

 Now with that in mind and a amnesic Sookie, me and Missus went over this again and again and again. 

And for the love of plaid we used plaid Alex, and for my crazy fangirl obsession with Scarlet Johansson we had Scarlet in a swing. hehe. 

Then we have this -----

I don't think I have ever been so proud of my work. When it was finally done after nearly a week I think I actually cried.  

So that's how my obsession started and now I can't stop. 

Next I will rant about Greenabsinthia and her banner.
