Nope, the original fanartist is Toounit from dA, while the banner was made exclusively for me by my younger sister a while back. I'm such a noob in PS, and it's impossible for me to come up with anything decent and worth-looking. The only thing that I could claim was paying for the commission artwork of this fanart and the idea of using a blue colour scheme X3

Oh, please do when you have the time, most of it are really well-written ;) I follow them religiously, and I'm hoping to find time in reviewing each and everyone of it. Hmm... let me finish up the latest chapter of this darn fic that I'm writing then I'll start with my backlogs... XD

I think a healthy form of self-promotion is good. As long as one doesn't force the other to read and review, I think it should be fine. And it's really pointless in writing it and keeping hush about it, unless it's really meant for your own satisfaction. But if that's the case, why put it up in a fic journal, why not keep it for youself? XP
