Title:
Accidents of LoveAuthor:
peppervlPairing: Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 12,461
Warnings: None
Summary: Rescuing the strange guy from oncoming traffic wasn't how Jensen thought he'd meet his future husband, but there's something about the guy that catches his interest. Getting to know Jared doesn't always go as he planned, but sometimes accidents aren't always bad things.
For the 2011 round of
spn_reversebang I was really fortunate to be paired up with the wonderful
peppervl. It's awesome how she tailored her story around my prompt and she was a delight to work with! I'm really thankful I ended up with you, honey!
Many thanks also go to the mods for all the work they put in running a challenge like this. Thank you!
And a special thanks to
tanisafan, who looked over my prompt before I sent it to the mods. You're awesome, bb! ♥
Some of the images were a bit big so I've posted a viewer-friendly version and linked them to their larger versions =)
Original Prompt
Main Banner
I used two stock photos to create the main banner, both of which are of places in Texas. I really loved that
peppervl asked me where the photos were taken and then set her story there. :D
Part of the Austin skyline
Caddo Lake
Main Banner
Book Cover
As well as the original banner I also wanted to try making a book cover. I tried to make it look as much like a typical romance novel as I could. You can judge for yourself whether I succeeded or not =)
And a slightly smaller, sharper version.
Story Dividers
I wanted to make a different divider for the different scenes in the story so I ended up with 3 'themes' - wedding, accidents and the lake. For the wedding dividers I used another beautiful stock image for the base.
Wedding Dividers
Accident Dividers
Lake Dividers
Navigational Buttons
Just a few silly buttons because the story is too long for one post :D
End Banner
I really love that photo of the rings so I decided to use it again when I made a banner for the end of the story.
Icons
And finally, a few icons! I have to admit I'm a little out of practice at making them but I think they turned out okay :D
