To me, the point of a banner isn't to tell readers what to picture in their heads while they read. If I wanted that, I would make a banner for every chapter, like a children's picture book LOL. A banner serves the same purpose as a book cover - a visual that's meant to catch readers' eyes and attract them to clicking on my story or at least reading the summary instead of scrolling past it. Also, I have fun making them. I don't always include a picture of a girl, even if I have a female main character. I just try to make the banner something that's going to represent the story.

She probably would have spelled it the white trash way if it was THAT Britney LOL.

LOL the white trash way. Brittany was almost named Ashley when I first created her, but then I changed it at the last minute and it's a good thing I did because I already have a Nick/Ashleigh series (I mean, it's spelled differently, but it still would have bothered me)
I actually do have one chapter of a fic written where it was actually Nick who broke up Justin and Britney in an attempt by Nick to piss off Justin and ruin his career. But I never went anywhere with it and it's sitting in first chapter fic limbo.
And yeah, I only know Aimee Teegarden from Friday Night Lights too, haha. (Which I am about to start watching on account of the twitter conversation from yesterday)
