May 2021 Challenge: Book By Its Cover

[grundyscribbling]

Were you ever told, as a child, not to judge a book by its cover? Well, this month, we're telling you to throw that advice away!

This month's prompts will be book covers: gorgeous, cringey, perplexing, and everything in between. You can use any element of the book cover to create a fanwork. If you'd like to receive a prompt for this month's challenge, comment on our Dreamwidth, comment on our LiveJournal, send us an ask on Tumblr, or email us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org.

In order to receive a stamp for your fanwork, your response must be posted to the archive on or before 10 June 2021. For complete challenge guidelines, see the Challenges page on our website.

I would like a prompt, please!

Let's try this one:


If it doesn't work for you, let us know and one of us will find something new for you!

[starspray]

Ooh, thank you!

[hhimring]

Could I have a prompt? I would prefer something that isn't too cringey, if there is a choice. That is, if the cover shows people in cringey attitudes; I have no reservations about colour, style, etc. And perplexing is fine.

How about this?

Thank you very much!
I like that.
It gives me no particular writing ideas, yet, but I'm sure they'll come!

I definitely want a book cover. (Although I would have far preferred to chose my own! I collect book covers--digital copies that is.)

[oloriel]

You can prompt yourself from your own collection, if you want!

[heartofoshun]

Really! Oh I would love it!!

[oloriel]

Yes, really! The prompts are there if people prefer to be surprised and/or have difficulties chosing - but if you already have something in mind, go for it! :D

I would like a prompt please!

My track record for finishing these is approximately non-existent, but I would still enjoy having a prompt!
