Fun with finger-painting?

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Well I've been fooling around with the notion of making book-covers for favourite fics, to adorn them on an e-reader. Many fics have got gorgeous covers already, of course, made for them by people who not only have talent but actually know what they're doing to boot - but lots of fics are languishing behind nothing more than the standard Calibre image (no offence to Calibre! I love Calibre!) and deserve something more personalised, right?

And then moonlightmead mentioned that she had a couple of covers for the prosfic on her ereader, and mused that we might be duplicating efforts, and I wondered if we should pool 'em and then   byslantedlight had the very excellent idea that as well as pootling around on my own I could:

Come here to ci5hq and invite people to make covers, and share them, and be reminded (again) of how wonderful and beautiful our favourite fics are!

So just in case anybody has covers they'd like to share, or fancies the idea of making some, here are a couple I've done so far. Hoping that they will be joined by lots more?!?!?!

           

Oh, yes, of course I don't seem to be posting them here quite right, they're getting all horribly cropped for some reason ... but you get the idea and I can always post better copies (if I just find out how ...)
