TFN Seeking Cover Artists....
Sep. 14th, 2007 06:24 pmOK, so I'm basically posting an ad. Please put up with me.
The TFN Fanfic Archive tries to get cover art done for each of the fics it archives. This is sometimes the bottleneck to getting an accepted fic put up, since a lot of writers -- especially those who are less involved in the sociable side of fandom -- either don't know any authors or feel awkward about... well... asking someone to read their fic and create something that's basically to make the story look better instead of to be admired all on its own. Or, you know, paid for -- though I suppose maybe some people commission their covers.
So, there's a mailing list where artists who don't mind doing an occasional cover art can sign up, and requests can go out to it to be (potentially) picked up by anyone who gets the message. Artists, people who can edit stuff together from the multimedia section, all are welcome. And we're hoping to get more artists to join, since currently there can be quite a wait.
Actually, I signed up myself, though I don't know how much use I'll be.
