Here's a slightly different version which combines the two effects... if you wanted a slightly chunkier edge to the fade.
As far as your journal layout goes, with a Paid account you should have a lot more style options. One of the things you should also be able to control is the width of your main area. The wider it is, the easier it is to display things like this.

Mmmmm... I think I still prefer the second as above - it's almost as though you're looking through a freezing mist, or are getting condensation around the edges of a glass surface with a drop in temperature that I'm just not feeling as much with the irregular surface of the first or this banner. This is from the same person who says the environment isn't going to be that much of a factor in the fic! *laughs*
I did cruise through some of the style options to check them out, and while this one is better, it's still cutting off the right edges of the pictures, even in the main part of the post (ie not the comments). I'm wondering if it might improve if I get rid of the left navigation bar entirely (which I'd rather like to keep, but don't have to). I'll mess with it a little more tomorrow.

So long as it's not called Ice, Ice, Baby I think we'll all live. (Although that mightn't be a bad moniker for any omakes that spring forth from this particular well.)

You should be able to shrink the size of the border area for most styles (i.e. the area LJ isn't using except for background doodads), which would help.
Since I can't see exactly what it looks like on your end, though, it can make it a bit difficult to diagnose. You shouldn't have to get rid of your bar - if you look at my journal, you'll see that I've got a big content window and still have room for a bar.

If I can't get it to look right on the main comp, I'll try taking a few screenshots to see if you're seeing what I'm seeing. That might be a little more helpful - although, I am able to see more with this particular layout than before.

Er... no. No worries on that end. I just need to wean myself from the working title. I might go with a song title again, as in THANTH, but Ice, Ice, Baby didn't make my cut. *grins*
