I... huh. o.o I finished the final bonus drabble for the Dragon Isles book. That brings the total number of pages in the book to 308. @.@ Wow.

Now... now all I need is a cover (wince) and I can put the book up on Lulu. I started trying to sketch out what I want, but I don't have very high hopes for it winding up good enough to be a book cover. People I can draw. Three masted sailing ships I cannot. x.x

Still, I'm rather proud of myself. I wasn't sure I'd be able to write Red Dragon smut, given how violent they tend to be with each other. >.>; But I think it turned out okay. I'll know for sure when Mem gives it a looksee and checks for Stupid Kitty Typos. ^^;

Hmm... now what do I write...

istockphoto costs about $5 a pop though so it's rather inexpensive in some cases. And if not ships, veer has some examples of pretty emblems which perhaps could be used around the words "The Dragon Isles" here (http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=emblem&producttype=ILL&pricemodel=RM%2CRF). THeir ship pics Their ship pics (e.g. here (http://www.veer.com/products/detail.aspx?image=SSI0017097) or here (http://www.veer.com/products/detail.aspx?image=AYI0200850)) are insanely expensive though.

Personally, I tend to find an image I really like online and then manip/redraw it in photoshop/illustrator to match my specific needs. In the end, it doesn't look much like the original XD

That's pretty much what I wound up doing, only I made my roommate do the actual drawing because Illustrator hates my guts. x.x So I have the ship... now I just need to add the dragon and mer-tail bits. ^.^
