YOU TEMPT ME

OHHH YOU TEMPT ME ;0;

THESE ARE AWESOME.

Judo Library!

I want to read Shinigami Zeppelin Teacher too.

I'm scared of Idol Airship. Especially as the title probably really has a star instead of a space between the words.

---L.

Dude, those are TOTAL WIN.

There was an awesome one that had "Coffee" in it that I managed to reload before I realized I should be posting these, and I can't remember it. Woes!

I'm sure we could think of something!

Stairs to Mechanical Skies definitely sounds steampunk to me. Nom.

Utter crack!

Magical Detective Chef

Oh man, you're going to make me have to put a disclaimer on there. >_>

Mn if you need help, I'm always around.

I may take you up on that. If I can remember your screen name. XD (email me at telophase14 at gmail dot com) Probably tomorrow - I'm veeeery sleepy right now. :D

Airship Mechanical Whispers
Too bad I fail at steampunk
Would be interested in doing a contest. What help would you need?

At this point, I'm mostly in need of working out the details of what to ask for. I figure for the rest, I'd just steal

dragonscholar's format and award 3 prizes, a $30 gift certificate to Amazon, Dick Blick, or Paypal for first place, ~~and see if I can wheedle $20 and $10 ones for 2nd and 3rd place from my f-list~~.

Sorry, that I cannot help with being broke and all.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. The prize stuff was supposed to be an aside (hence the strikethrough). What I need help with is this bit:

I'm mostly in need of working out the details of what to ask for.

I meant to ask for in the contest: what are the contestants supposed to produce? "Pick a title and draw a picture" isn't specific enough and will lead to massive amounts of confusion and multiple requests for clarification. As it's a series title, what should the picture be? Promo picture? Picture of the main characters? A screenshot of a scene from an episode? A page from the manga? I shouldn't ask them for too much effort, as the prize is only $30, but I should ask for enough that it's a challenge.

How about mock manga or anime DVD cover? Title must be included but still has the flexibility to draw almost anything you want/are inspired to.

That's a good possibility, but one of the things stopping me from doing that is that I kind of think I'd like to make them think about the story and/or characters a little, and I fear that a simple cover request may lead to a bunch of pin-ups with no real thought. Hrm.

I suppose there's coming up with a set of judging criteria that explicitly says that entries that show evidence of thought about that will be ranked higher. Hrm again.

Hmm hadn't thought about that. Well... if you are making a mock cover it would be logical that you should also write the short blurb on the back telling what it is about too, right? Making the description and a cover that go together successfully might be enough to keep it from being pinups?

Ooh, you're right, that might work, thanks! XD

No problem. Glad to be good for something today!

I'm curious, would the contestants generate their own titles or would you have an official list for them to choose from?

Oh, and, "Middle-School Yakuza Princess"

They'd use the generator to come up with their own titles. :)

"Androgynous Bitter Airship"

Excellent. An excuse to continue finding more weirdness.

"Journey to the Enchanted Monogatari"
"Let's Go! Blush Detectives"

And you were clear it was my bad from reading when sleepy in bed.

I'm really digging Charming Lucky Gentlemen, haha XD Though Number Three Mechanical Academy sounds like some awesome steampunk drama...this is great!

Number Three Mechanical Academy MUST be the subtitle to some giant robot anime or other, it has to be!

Ah yeah, originally it was the "Title and Tagline Generator," actually...

I'll totally claim "Shinigami Zeppelin Teacher". I'll try to whip something up tonight.

Ooh, I want to see it!

Oh my GOD I want to read Ocean Girls Pirates...
