Honestly BillionaireMayor. I have now witnessed you making three thousand versions of the so far best version of the cover. And it is so clearly noticeable that you know nothing about design while he does.

First of all this picture you have moved the fasci too far to the left, it seems like you dont know about bleed and margins, neither the golden ratio.

Your tundra is to choppy. Your title way too large and the spacing is just bad. The reason why the original creator have created a small text is because he wants to create a "feeling" of vastness in a naked tundra.

And the author title is just disturbingly bad, altought your best so far.

poll / thread gives no clear indication of what option refers to what image

Also, some retard is probably voting the neckbeard cover via VPN / Tor / proxies.

I suggest we forget about that poll. Elsewise someone should edit that fucking neckbeard out of the cover and replace it with something else ( like that: http://imgur.com/2kqeUZ8,j50lMS3,N8ndffB,YLuEWW4 ).

I don't think it has a cohesive point. It is more a parody of post modernist literature. These covers probably don't actually fit the tone of the book well. If there were actually a philosophical discussion in the book of how society forms a rigid rule set that shapes the ideas expressed and accepted in the public sphere, these would be fine but the actual novel is far more Dadaist than substantive.

A cover similar to this style would probably be more appropriate.

My idea as well. Asked people to upload their .tif / .pgn / whatever files for other people to expand on their concepts but noone did that yet.
For example I'd actually be for the neckbeard cover if someone replaced that fatass with the image from >>5405626 which is also used in the cover on totaliterian.info

Wow, that must have taken ages. Two reasons you're dumb:
One: You didn't even check to see if strawpoll looks at your IP or uses cookies. It uses cookies, so using incognito mode is enough to get around it.
Two: I already explained that earlier in this thread >>5404766

I thought it would be using both.
Holy shit why does this site still exist ? It defies the whole purpose of online-polls.
But it didn't take me that long and getting a new Tor identity takes just as long as reopening chrome incognito and as said: I'm too lazy to search & code some stuff for it right now.

So all agree that this poll's legitimacy is gone ? Fine.

I was going to add at least one unrelated story but wanted to give it a read before doing so. The very first page made me cringe, the part about him drinking his cum, so I changed it to say a very good drink that he made at home. I then suddenly lost interest. Today I reread the first few pages and saw that my edit remained and also that on the second page the opening scene is revisited and this time it says he is drinking his own cum which was alluded to by me very lazily earlier on in an attempt to edit it out as a very good drink he made at home. When I got to that part I cackled. I'm not sure if anyone else would find that funny but I think it justifies the silliness in him drinking his own cum.

lulu anon here

I slapped together the chapters as they were around 8th september 4AM NY time, did some rough editing (moved some titles from the bottom to the top) and slapped a 96DPI version of the cover on so I could get a copy of my own. You can look at the pdfs posted earlier to see if it's up to your scratch.

I can 'update' the book at any time and I'm sure someone has a better PDF to upload (as long as it follows the A5 template,) It isn't 'official', but it's the only one there is at the moment as far as I know.

Bottom line: the book isn't necessarily finished, just consider this an 'early print'
