Midnight Sun book cover

2010-03-03T13:29:00.000-08:00

Stephanie Meyer was in the midst of writing Midnight Sun, a companion book to Twilight, when it was leaked on the internet, and she put is aside.

This week, we asked our group members to show us what they would have designed for the book cover. The cover needed to be in the same simplistic style as the original books.

This week was a bit more of an artistic challenge than some others. We wanted the group members to portray the feeling of color in a black and white image.

This was from the end of summer, and should have been posted between Anger and Selp Portrait, but the posts got a bit jumbled. This was an "admins' pick" week, and both Christina and I picked two images each.

What Is It?

2008-10-09T06:40:00.000-07:00

There were a lot of guesses, but not a lot of votes for this theme. The theme we picked for this week had a lot of discussion going on, which meant that in the fun of guessing, some people forgot to actually vote. Because of that, we have decided to declare two winners for this theme. (Sorry but we are not doing second and third place for this one). One based strictly on the number of votes cast, and the other the Administrators choice. Both are great photos!

Most Votes: Imthi Kadeer's Bark, moss and mushroom bear

Admins' Pick: Oliver Hilbert's Perfume Bottle

Childhood Representation - August 10th - 17th

2008-10-08T09:21:00.001-07:00

When I was going back through the images and counting the votes for this particular theme, I counted the most votes for the bubbles image, however, I think we announced the swings as the winner, so I am posting both.

Could the person who took the swings image please contact us and let us know your name?

Thanks

Hi everyone

I just wanted to let you all know that we are in the process of updating as many of the past themes as we can. Although we may have missed one or two in the process.

You may also notice that the themes do not necessarily show up under the month they actually occured in. That is because we are attemping to catch up now, and it lists the themes under the month you actually post in.

Please bear with us while we try to get caught up!

Thanks
