I just sent JZ one of the fan covers for that today.
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?
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

Ah, so you've read CICATRIX then.
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Do you mean fans are doing fantasy covers for if it were a book?
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.
