More Evangelion. In fact, there are EVA references in the books :) (They're meant as Easter eggs)

I'm not sure I have you on my list. Do you have a link to your portfolio you can give me?

You're on the list. Thanks for letting me look!

SF/mecha stories in this instance. I have others that are different.

It's practically the heart of the magical girl trope, isn't it? As a girl, you're ordinary, but when you transform, you're magical!

Done! But (disclaimer) I haven't made any final decisions yet.

Thanks! You're on the list! I'll take a look today.

Oh, So Trope-ical: The Loser(s) The cool thing about The Loser trope is that it’s really TWO tropes that each work differently to do different things. The difference between them comes from whether The Loser is the main character or a side character. The Loser as a main character is a character who starts the story having few or no redeeming qualities. As regular readers know I’ve just been talking about…

So far. Is there a site where I can see your work? I have a bunch and will be looking through them starting today.

Have you sent me an address to someplace I can see your work? I have lost track of real names vs. Bluesky handles :) Anyway, I'm starting to look through them today.

Thank you! You're on the list now :)

Thank you! Looking at them starting today.

Got you on the list. I will look at all the sites Sunday! All the talented people ... it's great to see!

Sure. Do you have a site I can look at? I'll be going through them on Sunday.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Thank you! Boom! You're on the list. I'll be going through them over the weekend. So many talented people here!

Yeah, so it goes! Publishing is collaborative, after all :)

That could go either way for me, although from a marketing standpoint I'd want something different ... if we can't get them in with one style, maybe we can hit with another!

I have your name on it but no location to look at your work. Do you have one? Thanks!

Do you have a site or something that shows your work? Thanks for replying!

Open statement: I asked if there were people interested in doing covers for my books. WOW, what a great response from so many talented people! I'll be looking through peoples' sites over the weekend.

Yeah, I'm still compiling the list of respondents. I'll be looking through them over the weekend, and then contacting people who have what I'm most looking for, just to give you some sort of time frame.

Good suggestion! I'm investing hours in just compiling the list of people who have replied. That don't get no books finished! :)

Thanks very much. I put you on the list and will be looking through everyone's art over the weekend. I'm buried ... what great enthusiasm here!

It's three volumes and I would want the individual covers to be visually related. The fourth would be an omnibus edition of all three, and it could be different. (In fact, from a marketing standpoint, it probably should be, but I haven't thought that all the way through yet.)

I would be looking for finished art by March/April. Since it's intended for self-pub, I can/want to finish by 1 July. And as I said I'll be looking for four covers, one for each volume (I'd want the same artist for each so they are visually related) and one for an omnibus than can be different.

Thank you for the look at your art. It looks great! I put you on the list and will be going through it over the weekend. So many talented people!

I'll be looking at peoples' samples over the weekend. So many talented people!

Okay, you're on the list! I'll be looking through sites over the weekend. Thank you for responding. The enthusiasm here is amazing!
