Housekeeping Note!

[kalloway]

Two Things!

1. Is there anyone who would like to volunteer to make some small graphics for the community. It'll mostly be monthly banners so I can finally catch up the Masterpost, but I believe I owe a couple of Bitty Bang graphics too. ^^;; (More than one volunteer is welcome!)

2. There was a DW code push over the weekend and I've noticed a bit of wonkiness around the community, especially in the Masterpost. I've already left a note about it on the bug tracking post for the push, so now we wait. If it ends up being something with how I've used code or the community layout, I'll make adjustments as necessary. (I have a couple entries to add to the Masterpost but I'm going to wait for weirdness to abate first.)
ETA: Errors were coming from how DW is handling links to deleted users! The coders are now aware, so I've tweaked formatting to display the Masterpost properly.
ETA to the ETA: It is fixed! It was not me. I'm just the one who noticed it. ^^;;

I hope you're all doing well. Thanks for being here. ^_^

I'm up for making a few graphics!

[kalloway]

Thank you! Would you be able to make a banner for April 2020's Fanmix challenge? I have a slight preference for a music-related background, but if you have a different idea, that's fine.

[falkner]

Sure thing! What size should it be? It seems there's no fixed one?

I made this one in the meantime, if it looks okay: https://i.imgur.com/n7UBV6h.png

Sorry, I was at work. ^^;; But yes, that's wonderful and it's posted (and credited)!

I was going to say "probably about 300px wide or less, less than that high" which was more about not being terrible on (small) mobile, though DW is better about having things resize now.

[falkner]

Haha, no problem. I just have a lot of free time at the moment thanks to [gestures at everything]

Glad the banner was fine!

[kalloway]

Ah, understandable! Thank you again~

Would you be interested in making other graphics as I find things that might need them?

[falkner]

Yeah, I'm happy to help!

[kalloway]

Are you still up for making graphics? I have a few that need to be made.

[falkner]

Yeah, I'm still up for making graphics!

[kalloway]

Awesome~ Would you be able to make banners for May and/or June 2020 for the masterpost?

[falkner]

Sure thing! Preferences on what kind of background/color to use for them?

[kalloway]

Nothing off the top of my head. Hmm... May was bitty bingo, June is timed ficlets. Maybe something with a clock for June?

[falkner]

Here they are!

[kalloway]

They're wonderful, thank you!
(sorry, it's been a week~)

Let me know if/when you're up for more!

[falkner]

No apologies needed! And if there's any other graphics needed, this is a good time~ I'll be away from my laptop for most of the summer, so I'll happily help as much as I can now!

[kalloway]

Thank you! Could you do a set of icons for our poor drab AO3 Collections? Three subcollections + the main, if possible. 100x100, some bright colors and if you can't fit the comm title on, a "Go!" at least?

[falkner]

I hope these look good!

They're wonderful (and look delicious)! Thank you!

[falkner]

Here's the PSD for the icons, in case you want it! Feel free to edit it or whatever~

[kalloway]

Thank you~!

[delacourtings]

i'd be happy to make some graphics!

[kalloway]

Thank you! Would you be able to make a small banner for September 2018's Completed Tables? No preference for background as long as the text is legible. You can see what I've done over the years on the Masterpost, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm graphics-impaired.

[delacourtings]

sure! is there a specific size you'd like? (the ones in the masterpost are a couple different sizes, so i thought i'd ask and make sure)

[kalloway]

I think at one point I'd resized the bigger Masterpost ones down to about 300px in width because they were a little wonky on mobile (but DW resizes now?), and then the newer ones are smaller. Maybe no bigger than 350px wide, height whatever works for the image/words? Thank you~

[delacourtings]

here's a 350x152 one! i made the background an excel screenshot since the challenge involved tables but if you'd like something else just let me know! :)

[kalloway]

It's wonderful, thank you! I've got it added and credited now.

Would you be interested in creating anything else as I continue sorting through what's missing?

[delacourtings]

sure, i'd be glad to!

[kalloway]

Are you still up for making a few graphics for the community?

[delacourtings]

course, just tell me what you need! :D

[kalloway]

Would you be willing to do a couple icons/banner for either of these Bitty Bangs, which've been waiting since 20017?
