Hi everybody! I am delighted and honoured to be able to announce that completion banners are up and running again. I've been building new resources to allow for (hopefully) some quick-and-easy banner creation, and have completed the first page of banner-fills. It will definitely take time to get through all 11 current pages, but I'm hopeful that we can make these a regular scheduled part of the community again. Have the first couple of folks'-worth; I'll be putting together more fills from page 1 as I get time.

Have you completed one of the community goals, but haven't taken credit yet? Be sure to post to the provided link with what you completed and, if you completed a multiple or used a variety of prompts, specify how much or what qualified the completion.

Please feel free to take the badges that you've won and display them in your journal, or wherever you like to keep your trophies. You earned them, great work!

Without further ado, here are the first banners:

Supplies and Materials: Bichromatic, canvas
Word Count: 1,572
Rating: R
Warnings: scene of implied sexuality (it's all dialogue)
Notes: So I guess my theme lately is doomed young love. That's what I get for writing character backstories. Though, actually, these two meet again later and may not be doomed. I'm not exactly happy with the choice of architecture for Dylan; I picked it a while back for something different and artistic for him to do, but it seems too practical now, especially since I know neither of these characters will be doing what they studied for in a few years! So I may revisit this later with a different artistic field for Dylan to study...

When he touched her she felt like gold. )

P.S. Mods: It looks like I have two stories in this world still tagged as "unnamed robot story"; I've added the story tag for "robot rights," so there's no need for the other tag to exist anymore.
