Ah, so you've read CICATRIX then.
Heh. I just sent JZ one of the fan covers for that today. (The Dru/Willow one.)
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Huh? Not sure what you mean, Hec. It was a fanfic (pretty much the only one I've ever read, but DAMN it was good) I read. Do you mean fans are doing fantasy covers for if it were a book?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I made every effort to forget about it, too. I'm hoping you're referring to a different one.

Indeed. They do it as a kind of tribute and the most famous long works tend to have multiple covers to choose from.

Cicatrix Cover - this is the one I was referring to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's just the one Cicatrix. In my head it's the Iolokus of the Jossverse, but I haven't been all up in reading fic in a while.

Yeah, but as an artist, what did you think of that cover I linked?

It's okay. Doesn't take my breath away -- I think just shifting the framing so the couple isn't so upper middle in the picture would have helped a lot. Also, a bit more ... subtlety, maybe? with the layering of the text and the proto-wings would help me like it more too.

Willow's hands in that cover freak me out a little bit.
