And if your new chapters get the "no room at the inn" treatment, then you can consider shelling out the money for Pbucket pro.
I've never had issues with Pbucket. But I've never hosted a major image (like your banner) from mine (and you never had this problem before you did that, right?).
I upgraded because I saw I was really using it a lot (I think when my pics hit their first multiple thousand mark) and $20 a year seemed like a fair price. The way I figure it, $20 for the LJ and $20 for the Pbucket (each per year) was a cheap hobby (cheaper than the monthy cost of cable t.v.). I'm also lucky that money's not tight in my household (I'm not rich, but to just decide on a whim to sign up for even a $2O Pbucket was no biggie--I would have to run $40 by the wife, so I'm not spending that at the end of the month, when we're waiting for both our paychecks to arrive--once a month paychecks can be annoying).
