A first attempt at a picture to go with Zat's great story - may have to try again as this one didn't seem to have room for Kathleen Hudak (Hell Yeah) which is a real omission that needs to be rectified....

Also it is the wrong shape to be a book cover so that's another excuse to go back and play some more, isn't it!

Holy freaking buckets sugah! That’s gorgeous! What a lovely gesture: I’m overwhelmed! Hell yeah, would be nice to see Kickass Hudak and Sam on there but wow… I can remember sourcing some screencaps for the person who did me my banner over at Supernaturalville and never got any pictures of Lee that were as good as this. Awesome!

I’m going to investigate how I can reize it to use as a header on the masterpost for the story… also investigating the website with download options maybe for PDFs/Word files of all of the stories for whoever wants them. Quite a few people have PMd me about files they can download to their kindles… ;-)

I already started editing Woods for that and it’s funny but I see so much in there I could have done better if I had taken more time over it and not churned out two chapters a week. Maybe it’s time for a total rewrite!

I could probably re-size the original if you wanted it banner sized, I saved it in layers so it can be fiddled with, colours changed, other people added, fonts changed etc etc. Just let me know.
I found the Lee picture via Superwiki, there were a whole load of episode stills I'd never seen before, including some good ones of Missy I might have a play with!

Yup, I see that giant hint I dropped about you doing the work for me hit home! :-P

I checked out the super-wiki: I've never thought to go there for screencaps tho I do use it often to grab bits of dialogue I want to use in the stories. Wow, there are some great images there of Missy. What a creepy looking kid she was - I wonder if she has been in anything else? I was watching something the other night [CSI Bumfuck Montana or something like that] and Alona Tal popped up on it. Most weird.

I am usually very slow at picking up hints - so be warned,this was a rare occasion! Done the banner version so hopefully you've found that now.
I'd never thought of checking for photos via Superwiki before either, and that website has some really good ones - not screen caps but photo quality as well as the more posed promo photoshoots. I've been busy saving loads!

I was just hitting send on the other comment!

That is fantastic! Oh Kathleen... I think I have a straight crush on her you know. I would love if Dean had shown up on her doorstep in Swan Song. Maybe in my AU [four chapters/20,000 words written so far, and I am having a total blast with Crowley!] he will. But, dunno. I hate the thought of not ever including her in a fic again, but at the same time I don't want to end up Mary-Sueing her...

I will have to fiddle around working out how to get it into the masterpost for Woods... I should have some time on Sunday so I'll give you a shout when it's on there!

That would be cool!
And I love Kathleen still - I don't think I've ever seen that actress in anything but she was so good in this episode I found your expanding her relationship with Dean completely believeable. Fabulous eyes...so I know what you mean about the straight crush thing!

She was in NCIS, briefly... also was pretty good in a couple of episodes of Stargate [she was the original Dr Elizabeth Weir]. I just thought she totally rocked it in The Benders - definitely my favorite OFC because she's just such a classy actress. I don't know that I saw any chemistry with JA/Dean per se [actually I had no intention of pairing them when I first started writing Woods but so many people asked for it I sorta gave in and then just did my best to ensure she stayed kickass and independent] but the respect was definitely there from Dean to KH, so I guess I just ran with it!

Hee! You write requests.... I'll have to bear that in mind.. :D

Cackles... is this your way of asking me for Dean towel scene? >:)

Dean no-towel scene please, or it would be an opportunity wasted, would it not?

LOL. I'm supposed to be writing something about how diet affects stroke risk and now all I can think of is Dean Winchester... dripping wet... low-slung towel... a mental image which is definitely raising my stroke risk right now.

Mmm, like that picture of Jensen in the towel with the rugby ball (sorry US football)...not wet but as good as...

Had another go at a banner and included Hudak and Sam, love to know what you think.

By the way - a total rewrite - I don't think so, girl! I know, we can always keep tweaking our stories to 'improve' them but sometimes you can edit out the raw power by too much fiddling! So don't mess about with Woods too much...it was pretty damn good to start with remember!

LOL, my reply went in the wrong place... I forgot to thank you for those kind words re Woods! Maybe I won't tamper with it too much. But Lordy, to go back and compare it to NCB is weird. Woods to NCB is as Justin Beiber to Justin Timberlake... [I just thought that up and 'm going to use it in my new story].

How small is fandom really? You're THAT amberdreams! Who's done the artwork for Zat's stories! *headdesk*

Fandom must be small for me to be "That" anything!

I've seen some of your artwork for Zat's stories, and she mentioned you when I was working on the NCB cover - and somehow I didn't put two and two together until I saw this. Beautiful banners though - love the grading and those skies... gorgeous!
