Title: Enemies with Benefits (School Hard) banners
Creator: Double Dutchess
Form: banner
Rating: safe for work

My first contribution for today! Three "Enemies with Benefits" banners. The first is a slightly improved version of my banner #10 from the banner contest (you always see the flaws when it's too late :-) and the second is a blue background version of the same banner. The third is a different banner based on the same idea. I could only submit one of the three to the banner contest and decided on the first one, but I'm curious to hear if you think I made the right choice.








Credits: the banners are based on this "Enemies with benefits" idea from JustWriter2: "A scene where Buffy and Spike are across from one another, positioned to fight, in School Hard." For textures, I used this great set of wall photos by thenewbuzwuzz . Screenshots are made by me from the HD Buffy episodes kindly provided by hdbuffy.tumblr.com, and the main title font is the 3rd Man font by Bumbayo Font Fabrik.

Finally, something I always forget to mention explicitly: if you'd like to use anything I've made as a fic banner or for other purposes, feel free to do so (with credit). I'll also be happy to personalize any of my stuff for you, so don't hesitate to ask.

I think you did make the right choice (I voted for it!) but as you'll see from my LJ comments, I coveted it myself, so.... Actually, for my purposes, I think I prefer #3 since my story takes place later, but definitely references the scene and it's aftermath.

Thanks for the vote! You can absolutely have #3 for your story. I'll be happy to customize the text, but also the colours if you prefer them differently.

I'd love it for my fic for this round. The (unimaginative) title is Friendly Enemies and you can find it here

I'll get on it!

Also, if you want something different (for example colours, text placement, etc.) don't hesitate to let me know!

Thank you so much! I chose the 3WZO21 one - I like the idea of it saying it was for Seasonal Spuffy. Thanks again!

Thank you! Btw, I loved your banner too -- it was one of my favourites.
