LOLCoverSnark-AContest!

by SB Sarah Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 10:30 AM

Inspired by snarkhunter’s comment in our last cover snark, and clamored for by many, including me despite my own exceptionally poor OMG Bad Photoshop skillz (they are not uber uber l33t by a longshot), behold: a contest to kick off our new site design. I give you: LOL COVER SNARK!

The rules: add your LOLCoverSnark to the comments, and we’ll judge in the comment thread itself for the best of the group. You can your vote if you don’t like to comment (Hi Lurkers! Hayadoin?). Comments will close in 24 48 hours (G’day Australia!) and winners will get books and a Romance Novel magnetic poetry set for their very own.

And now, our samples, let us show you them. 

More,more,more!>

I love these sample covers!!! I did some hunting and found a HI-larious site:
http://www.worldoflongmire.com (under features) that spoofs romance book covers.  Funny, funny!

Ohhhh… penis goes there LOL! The double penis one is amazing. ;D

But I have to admit, I think Logmire has you beat with his The Love Bum cover:

I think changing the tag-line under the title and the ‘Author of’ part to match the title was a particularly brilliant touch. I mean, The Love Bum: The stars were his ceiling, a refrigerator box his den of love...” ROFL!

I really wish I had Photoshop now…

And because fart jokes never get old, one more:

And because I can’t stop doing these…

My verification word was “bring34.” I’m sure I could find 34 more of these if it wasn’t for that little thing called a job.

BTW, I love the secret bubbles one. I almost spit out my frappuccino.

Ok, coversnark is really making me miss the pop-up comments window :(
So much better when I could read the comments and look at the covers side-by-side. Though I suppose I could always open another window........ But that little pink window sure came in handy and was easily hidden when I had to look busy at work!

Picture of Eva Lynn said on...
04.17.08 at 11:44 AM |

Thanks, Gemma! :)

Rebecca—to put the pics here, you have to first upload them to another server (Photobucket works for sure, I had trouble with a couple others first).  Then you copy the url to the picture, and paste it in here so that it looks something like this:

<img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/yourusername/
yourgallery/yourpicture.jpg">

Of course your url (the part between the quotes) will be different, but… that’s basically how.

A question that comes to my mind [besides the requisite wtf-moment] damn near every time I see a romance cover:

What the hell is it with the woman’s hair?

Gah!  Candidly, those huge, mushroom clouds of varying hues billowing out of women’s craniums are even more disturbing to me than Men with Mullets.

back84 - no, no, no, way worse than it was back in ‘84.
