First stab at a cover for the Fanfic RPG

[ffutures]

I'm thinking minimalist. I think I can get away with the small references to real fandoms in the thought bubble, unless anyone knows better.

Love the thought bubble, not sure about The Thinker as the picture.
Do you want me to draw you a young girl penning her magnum opus?

One of my friends is working on the Great English Novel, it's going to be a Dr Who novel, but the Great English Novel none the less...

I think you're good with that thought bubble and minor mentions in the actual rules. Just make sure you add a fair use declaration on the copyright page.

This isn't going to make me enough money to pay royalties, but I'm certainly not going to say no - say a cover credit and charity donation instead?

Reminds me to mention that I'm advertising Tooth and Claw in the Boskone PR using one of your illos, the one where I added the "Votes for Dragonesses" sign. Hope that's OK with you.

There's always room for another Great English Novel. And given how much Dr. Who has infiltrated our culture I can't see any reason why not. Pride and Prejudice and Daleks..?

Thanks!

You can always use my stuff, you are trusted.

I will try to get something done before the weekend. May be B/W, you might have to colour it yourself?

On my f-list the other day somebody posted a link to Pride And Prejudice With Zombies, which I believe has been published. Somebody has re-written jane austen, to include a zombie apocalypse.

Very good. I like.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's what gave me the idea. Looks VERY silly.

Many many thanks!

You will like Sue's art more, trust me on this!

I think that you should stick with The Thinker, assuming that use of the image is not a copyright infringement; the instant recognition factor is massive and no original art, no matter how good, can make up for losing that.

That's a good point - but The Thinker wasn't actually what I originally had in mind when I went looking for clip art, it just seemed to fit better than any of the alternatives I looked at. If Sue can give me something that puts across the "fanfic" idea better I'll be very happy. If not, I can probably use some interior art too...
