Past seasonal_spuffy banners

Apr 14, 2015 06:33

It was brought to our attention that there is no place to view past seasonal_spuffy banners. This post has all of the banners from the present day to the first banner in 2005. The plan is to update this post when there is a new banner, so all banners can be found in one place ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh you posted these, THANK YOU! Most of these I've never seen before and they're truly glorious. (And most of these names are entirely unknown to me.)

They are indeed! I'm frequently impressed and taken aback with how good the fan art from tens years ago routinely is when I come across it - banners, icons, etc.

I think it is nice to see what's been done in the past so we have models to emulate and improve thusly (as any good artist needs) but also to be able to see what's been done and try for something new. That's why I think it's important to have access to older fan art the way writers have access to older stories, so we're not creating in a vacuum (because that's impossible.)

Thank you for doing all this work, it must have been time consuming!

I forgot btw that you'd snagged that spuffy icon, which I also have in my user pics (which makes me all sorts of happy but I also get confused - "why am I replying to myself?" *LMAO*)

Thank you for doing all this work, it must have been time consuming! It did take time but it was fun too!

Well done teragramm on locating all of the banners. This is very exciting to see!

It's crazy to me that seasonal_spuffy is turning ten this year. I feel like a parent at a graduation ceremony: filled with pride, but mostly thinking, "when did I get so old???"

Congrats to all of the banner makers and the people who have carried the torch for the past ten years. This community could have easily ended when I bowed out, but I think it's a testament to the Spuffy community on LJ (and a reminder of my own insignificance lol) that it's still going today.

Pardon my nostalgic garbage. I should be writing a paper.

We don't know one another (i'm a relative newbie to fandom, 3 years or so?) but I had to tell you how much I adore your Fall 2005 banner. (Wait, that was ten years ago, wasn't it?)

One of the things I love about this fandom - it has a real history and staying power.

I notice you're in Who fandom now. *pout*

It is a good fandom and I've met the most fabulous people here. (and the occasional insane-o but that's true anywhere. ;P)
