Greater Gate Novel Blurb Challenge!

Oct 23, 2006 15:23

So, apparently new episodes of the gates are not coming forth as soon as many of us had hoped. In the mean time, let's have a little fun entertaining ourselves.

Welcome to the gate_bitextual novel blurb challenge!

What's a novel blurb challenge?Well, the idea is to write a short summary of a longer fic, just like you'd see on the back of a published novel. ( Read more... )

novel blurb, fun

Oh, this is definitely up for grabs if someone is inspired.

Oh, very cool! I especially like the critics' notes you added. :)

Thanks for playing!

:) I'm glad you liked it. I've got another idea as well which I'll write up later tonight or tomorrow. This is a fun challenge.

So, this is really lame, but...

I'm posting it anyway. Just, uh, think of it as a parody of Vince Flynn or Dan Brown or something. Then it might be amusing.

That is far from lame. Very nice backcover.

finntasmic October 25 2006, 22:55:48 UTC

Thanks :) And as you know, imitation is the highest form of flattery and I definitely imitated your critic's quotes, so thanks for that, too :)

Oh, wow! That's fantastic!

Thanks for posting. :)

There is only slash on this one, sorry. I made a novel cover for a McShep Harlequin fic I just thought up...

Make way for the cheesiness

ozsaur October 25 2006, 21:00:46 UTC

Awww, that is a wonderful cover. And I'd probably read that story too. Looks like you had fun making it.

The Astrophysicist's Ex (McKay/Cadman & Cadman/Beckett)

Blurb only so far. Maybe if I get ambitious, I'll try for a cover.

finntasmic October 28 2006, 20:58:03 UTC

I hope you get ambitious and write the story ;) Sounds fun!

That sounds great! Much better than most of the political spy thrillers we're subjected to at the bookstore!
