Book Blurbs – The Colors of Our World

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Prompt and Path: primary colors (blue path: artwork)
Format: digital art, sketch with written copy
Genre: AU
Rating: Gen
Warnings: no warnings apply
Characters: Maglor, Fingolfin
Pairings: none so far
Creator’s Notes (optional): Chapter 3 – The Colors of Our World - Powerful High King Fingolfin receives word that their unified kingdoms are once again under attack. Will saving the Noldor from the fierce onslaught of Morgoth prove more daunting even than bringing together its restive elements?
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?

I do so like this! I want this book and all the others. Maglor wrote it? Yay :D it should be in Elrond's Library then...Hmmm

Thanks!!

I love imagining this thriving publishing industry.

I am having a whole lot of fun with these. Much more than real writing or art!! Thanks for the comment!

These books need to be real! I'd read a book by Maglor. I guess he wrote it before he composed his rock opera?

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Dreamflower. Not sure which he wrote first. Maybe the opera was inspired by the novel?

"...clutches his readers by the throat." OMG Oshun, you went there, and I love it. This is literally the cheesiest, most terrible way of portraying the fall of Fingolfin ever, I'm sure! :D

Thanks you so much! I appreciate that you were not afraid to say so. I really got a huge charge out of trying to making it over the top!

That was the point where I finally laughed out loud, too :)

Thanks!!

I have to admit that I really do think I remember seeing something along the lines of "...clutches his readers by the throat" in a review by the publishers of a serious book! Wow! It is this kind of writing that inspired me to start this project. And publishers I follow are not little fly-by-nights either, but big name ones!

I haven't laughed at my own jokes so much in ages!

Another book I really want to read. These books need to be written, and have a library as their home! :D (Yes, I know, that idea inspired by that other B2MeM.... not forgotten, on the contrary, it might actually happen sometime. *coughs embarrassedly*)

Thanks. I am having a lot of fun with these. I usually do not enjoy my B2MeM stuff. The trick is not to take myself too seriously.

...clutches his readers by the throat.
Yes, yes I agree, this is hilarious XD And the rest of it, too. I can well imagine Maglor going full on drama in his writing! I wonder, was this before or after the Noldolante...

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Maybe he is taking a break from the Noldolante and working some of the material out of his system.
