B2MeM Prompt and Path: abstract (blue path: artwork)
Format: digital art, sketch with written copy
Genre: AU, humor, other
Rating: Gen
Warnings: no warnings apply
Characters: Olwë, Elwë, Námo, Finwë, Túrin Turambar (more will be added as chapters are added)
Pairings: none so far
Creator’s Notes (optional): Chapter 2 – Who Killed Námo - The wacky and wonderful P.I. team of Ingwë, Finwë, and Elwë are faced with their most challenging case yet. Who did not want to knock off Námo?
Túrin Turambar adds another darkly atmospheric and hilarious thriller to his popular The Realm of the Valar mystery series.
Summary: These blurbs are written by a reader who is on the mailing lists of far too many publishing companies. Why not use some of the dozens of prompts of yet another annual B2MeM to design covers or ads, write ad copy, review, or draft summaries of books I would not be likely to write?

Oh, thanks, Jenni! I want to know if anyone writes any of these, because I am not going to!

I love book covers in real life or book jackets on hardbacks. One of my favorite art forms. And done badly, they are a really hoot also. One can really get addicted to bad romance or sci-fi covers.

You're welcome. I was actually thinking of writing something humorous if I think I could pull it off. (Now that I'm on a bit of a writing roll I might try something. Your ideas are really good.)

OK listen, I've done a stupid thing. I'm actually sweating about it as I type this.

I volunteered to help with the tagging but haven't done anything yet. Except that when I read this entry of yours I noticed that it wasn't tagged for Format, Genre or Path and I thought I'd go in and add those for you, as per my instructions from the other mods.

However, I seem to have fucked up. (Pardon the language - I don't usually use it.) It looks as if I have wiped out your tags, the Format and Genre tags wouldn't go in and only the Path tag is showing now. I've e-mailed one of the other mods and told her what I did.

I don't blame them if they kick me off the squad and I sincerely apologize to you. Is my face red!!!!

Don't be embarrassed. I tried to tag my own and I couldn't get them to work and I have been using LJ tags for years. I'm sure someone can show you what the trick is. I just decided I did not need the extra stress at the moment and left mine untagged. [Every time I added an additional tag, the previous one disappeared!]

Yeah! I found out from Zdenka that in the B2MEM LJ comm you must not hold down the CTRL key while listing tags. It's the opposite of every other site I've used, I think. No wonder I couldn't do it either! But now we know so we should be all right.

I know it's because I'm old and I don't know these things! But I can stay on as a tagger, so all is good. :)

Lucky you! But now that I know the trick, I will have to start tagging my own stuff to be a good community member and not a slacker! Hahaha!

Did I detect an ironic note in that 'lucky you'?

Hey! We want some work to do! Don't be too good a community member on our account. LOL.
