I was thinking something like this for Short Fiction.


Oh, that's awesome! If it's okay with you, I'd like to edit your banner so that the tiny images in the book are all taken from SFF short fiction cover art and then use the edited version as the challenge banner. (Assuming I can make my idea work. But I'm guessing/hoping that the process will be more time-consuming than it is actually difficult.)

Location: Neither here...nor there		Do with it whatever you'd like Jain! I was just throwing it out as there as a concept, not as a "Hey use this" type o' thing.

Also, might it be easier to replace the photos with random text rather than book covers? Just a thought.

Challenge accepted.  Might take a few days.  This cold I've got is killing my creativity.

Nothing off the top of my head but I'll noodle on it a bit and see if I can come up with something.  Glad you like subliminal message in the other banner!  That gets right down to the root of it I think

Hi kwaidan66.  You set your challenge to start on Febuary 1st so it won't show on the list until then and you can't add books until then either.  It's something we're going to modify as soon as we can find the time.

The plan is to hide the public challenges from everyone but the challenge host (you in this case) until the kick off date.  You'll be able to edit and add books before hand so it's ready to go with examples on the date you specify as the start date.  Fingers crossed we can fix it this weekend!

Location: Neither here...nor there		I'm not crazy about my Creature Feature banner. If anyone can come up something better, please do! (I think the problem I had with coming with an idea is that I thought it should be vague. I don't it want it too dark/spooky because the challenge isn't limited to horror. And I want it encompass all possible concepts of "creature" and not just vampires or whatever.) Thanks in advance for any assistance!

PS Admin, your banners are fabulous! The two newest ones are grand.

I don't know if it would work if I linked the challenge right to the attachment, here, but if not can you move it somewhere sensible and link it up, please?

I see the problem you're having with the creature banner.  It would be simple to go all horror on it but no spooky creatures is a bit tougher.  If something occurs to me to try and give it a go this weekend.

I'm glad you like the new ones and thanks for the kind words!  I'm having a lot of fun working on these banners.

Doc, the new banner looks great!  I've added it to the page so you're good to go.  I like how the RYO page is filling up with all these banners.  Lots of variety and color.  The banners give the challenges a bit of personality.

I haven't forgotten about you, JS.  I've got a couple things in mind but nothing final yet. I'll try again over the weekend.

Oh, that's excellent! I love it: funny yet pretty. (I have a bit of a thing for old-fashioned typewriters.) Thanks so much!

Cool beans and you are most welcome!  I'm the same with the old fashioned typewriters.  The mechanics are just beautiful.  I love the precision and symmetry of all those bent levers and rows of round keys.

Thanks Admin. Whatever you may come up with will be fab I'm certain.
