laraF's nest

Okay, so for the fourth gift... I gotta say I love editing. Gifs, pics, moodboards, icons, little magazines etc. But compared to what I used to make some... huh, many years ago what I love the most NOW is how much better these little pieces come out from my hand XD Ohhh, I'm not a visual artist, by far - for the life of me I cannot draw anything more difficult than an elephant from the back (you know which one) and PhotoShop is way too complicated for an easy-going user like me, who has basic needs and who needs to be treated like a curious five-year old.

Anyway. I made some fic banners! For maraudersaffair ! Who is totally lovely and I just reread your intro on DW and why are we not friends? I'm an avid (obsessed) reader of published works?!? Is anyone out there reading real books? Imma actually cryy?!? And I really don't know readers irl either and that always makes me sad cuz I have no one to talk to about my reading adventures... (one of the few things I'd actually talk about with a real human being lol -- except for fannish things, of course.)

Well, now, this is not the time to be wistful - let's read, my dudes (saying respectfully without giving a shit to gender as it is way too much of a social construct).

THE FICS aaand my banners for them ~~~ (click the pics for bigger size and the story titles for some good stuff)
(seriously, read these masterpieces!)

Here's my beloved, favorite aesthetic ~~~
