The holidays are busy as butt, so no biggy that peeps didn't manage to get editing done in December.
BUT FOR JANUARY IT'S A MUST!
The deadline for the Lulu hardcover is mid-February. I must put on my working hat and get this thing done.
And your covers are part of that. DeeK's will just take a bit more work, but I don't wanna post it until I have Indea's done as well... Still a ways to go...

Srry the covers ain't done as quick as I'd have preferred. DeeK's has been sitting at the last ten percent of the job for close to two weeks and indea's is barely begun (digital wise, already finished the analog side)...
Anyhow, one week into JaNuEdMo and I haven't been able to work on my Edding yet, but by Thor's dizzamn hammer, ich motherfücken will. GwwwwwaaaaAARGGgle.

@ Christopher - I can't thank you enough for the cover. After this week and the NSF deadline are over, I'm also going into edit overdrive. One chapter/day is totes reasonable!

Hey, I'm putting an idea for a novel in the bank here, so I don't forget it.
I was thinking about the subject of restraint. Professional authors and artists will usually restrain themselves. A youth with white hair looks more striking if they don't have three locks of different unnatural colors, one gold eye, and one silver. You see descriptions like that with Mary Sues and lower profile stuff in the internet wilderness - espesh with roleplayers.
Anyhow, that spun off into two lines of thought. One, it would be funny to write an RPG book that was specifically geared toward players with zero sense of restraint. Everyone can play a half demon half raccoon half angel (ran out of halves) with forty-five silver daggers braided into their hair and pet miniature winged unicorns, or whatever.
Two, young adult fiction in the Harry Potter / Twilight / etc. model all seems to have one thing in common: The hero, who the reader identifies with, is pulled out of a humdrum life and told they are super precious and special and the world revolves around them.
The obvious subversion is for the protagonist to be weak or flawed or human or less than supremely important, but I had something more silly in mind. The novel has two or more main characters who are - from their point of view - living in a world where they are a super-important precious pooky angel and the axis upon which reality spins. In each other's worlds, they are secondary characters - villains, lovers, rivals, I haven't decided.
How does that get resolved? I don't know. Just something to kick around the courtyard.

By the way, the idea above about the super special snowflakes is something I'd love to read. When everyone is the chosen one ... who is the chosen one?!

I'll second and therd the ermahgerd!! Between those covers and the opening pages that I read, I totally want a copy of both of these. I would pay cash monies for them even.
On second thought, I retract the ermahgerd, in case saying such a thing might bring on a fierce bout of gastroesophageal reflux disorder that makes me so "ermah... !!" How about just a WOOOOOOOGORRAMHOOO!!!!
