Ah, so you've read CICATRIX then.
Heh. I just sent JZ one of the fan covers for that today. (The Dru/Willow one.)
What is your childhood trauma?
Cordelia ,'Lessons'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.

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.
