So I was thinking it was time to become a tad more active around here, and I came to notice that there was no graphic for Apocalypse Revisited. How does the idea of user designed 'story logos' strike you Mints? And space permitting, possible images to go alongside the story or in a gallery for it... (AR just visualizes itself in my head so well, could you see that image of Falk heading down the highway towards the glow, with Rai gliding overhead?)
...and if this post is stupid, note the time it was written...I need sleep...

RoRII uses a Gobbs image; there is no problem with a user-created graphic (for a story that doesn't suck -- Dragon/Fairy ain't gettin' one never!).
Thing is, the image also must not suck. From the sheer amount of content you described to squeeze into a 100 x 100 image, it would instantly suck. Then again, anything that small and smushy would.
I recommend picking one character and run with that. You still got text to fit in, too, and both character and characters must be identifiable.

You misinterpret me, I was just talking of a random picture. I have a logo in mind, but yeah I needed dimensions before I could make it. The other one (referring to the highway pic idea) I was thinking would just be like a...'story gallery' sort of thing, something you may/may not have the space to host.

I gots what you're selling and can tell you off the bat that there is waaay too little memory on the site for that. I mean, there's barely enough space for what imagery sits on this site already
I say, tho', don't let that deter you. Why, I still make pictures and other artwork to show fandom and appreciation of stories here on RE. Hell, I even make pictures for hypothetical stories that could be posted "Panic attack? Great! A chance to try my calming pie."

Just to go back into this little tangent, the highway pic I had in mind was a sort of throw back to the whole Easy Rider scene...y'know the two companions hittin' the road (sort of like in Ghost Rider with the horse/bike combination) except this time there's a dude flyin' around the top...
