Fic Cover Project
I love seeing all the gorgeous cover designs people make for fics they love, and I don't know why it never occurred to me to do it before now. Especially since it is part of my actual literal IRL job. I'm gonna try and do a few of these before something else shiny distracts me. So make room, I'm jumping on the bandwagon.
First up, a series that I immediately fell in love with, Private Meetings and Open Doors by @hermacology
*click for higher quality!
Calling it a Hollanov coffee shop/college au feels too broad, because the series is so much more, but that's the tropey elevator pitch.
Two sides of the same story, each with their own voice and tone, both so beautifully written. Private Meetings introduces us to Shane's world, and what we know (or think we know) of Ilya's through him. Open Doors doesn't rehash, but rather bolsters the narrative while offering Ilya's perspective and giving us a fuller understanding of him.
They're character studies that are so layered and nuanced and fit so well together. Also, hot af and sexy and sweet and just so full of love.
Waffle about the design below the cut, if you're interested!
I am absolutely to absolutely lose my mind. These are gorgeous?? And you put so much thought into not only your design but into what these stories meant to you?
I’ve already been feeling so emotional and overwhelmed about this chapter coming to a close, and the little wave of covers and art and beautiful words people have been sharing with me have just been so overwhelming in the best possible way.
Thank you for sharing your work with us, and thank you so much for not only just sharing your thoughts on my fic, but for having such a beautiful little analysis that helps shed light on the choices you made here 💛
