valihaI recently volunteered to make ficathon banners for anyone who wanted one. In a conversation with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quietcontrary, I formulated these guidelines, and I thought I should put them up on my page for everyone to have as a reference. I am also going to include a progress bar, even though I have only four banners so far. You can find the guidelines under the cut:
There is no set time limit. You can request a banner any time. I pretty much decided to make it an open-ended (and open) request.
Open-ended means that anyone can ask for a banner any time provided they:
It's also helpful if they can provide me with pictures if they have something special in mind, especially if it's a modern AU, but it's not obligatory since I managed to build up my own collection of their various modern roles. Still, if you see an interesting picture and think, "I'd like my banner to look like this!" send it my way and I'll see what I can do.
Open means that I'm not going to turn down requests for slash stories even though they're not my cup of tea. In this case, a description of the story is essential, since I won't be reading it. Just so you know, I won't make explicit banners, but everything else is fine.
Whew, that was a long time to do four banners! In my defense, I can only say that it was my computer's fault, honest. And the schedule. That took away too much of my time.
I think that about covers it. Feel free to send me the request, and I'll let you know when I'm finished!

Open-ended means that anyone can ask for a banner any time provided they:
- 1. know my time is limited and I might take a while to do it, and
2. can tell me something about the plot and characters (I don't need all the details, just an overview) and what they'd like their banner to portray.
