Xangans Complete Cover
Cover by methodElevated
If you haven’t already returned the “agreement to publish,” please do that asap. I need them before I ask the printer for a proof copy.
How I don’t know, but I’ve made an error on the back page blurb, which fortunately I can soon correct. Probably I was concentrating so much on the spacing that I got the figure wrong, but there are actually thirty-one Xangan authors in Xangans, with a total of sixty-two stories etc.

Cool, I dig it.
<3I wish I was on itttttt.
Very cool!
@OhItWontBeForever - I don’t know any of the people on the cover, I’m not sure if any are Xangans, or they’re just representative figures. You could ask methodElevated.
Yeah they are! She is there, so is axis of doom, and brittmiles, moistlips, tjordanm (whatever his name is), and RLT. xD And others I dunno! haha
That’s good. A bunch that methodElevated knows but I don’t, and a bunch that she knows but I don’t.
Haha, I only recognized RLT from that cover, but knew it was xangans.That’s a great cover
AWESOMENESS! XD
@OhItWontBeForever - What I really meant was, and (a bunch of large B&W bio pics inside) that I know but she may not.
I love it!
awesome!
Love it! Great job!
fantastic!
Wow very nice!
@OhItWontBeForever - I don’t see me on it either but it’s still amazing looking right?
Coolbeans! Can I shamelessly plug it on my fb page with the cover image, or wait until it is printed…..
I wish I could be in that book. It would be awesome and help my screenplay maybe get some noticing.
@Dennis1979 - subscribe to keep in touch, and wait for the second edition to come out.
@disillusionisreal - which do you think is best?
Super. Can’t wait…!
right on! i’m a semi-publisher dude myself. would love to collaborate some day! i’ve been sorta offering the same idea to xangans, but i usually come off as pushy and therefore don’t get many to respond to me and usually need some kind of motivation to keep track, but it appears as if you took the idea out of the air and are pursuing the a similar path.anywho, not only do i like to publish, but i just may have mass distribution on my side! well, at least that’s what our mass distributor is saying. i’ll let you know when Barnes and Noble or Borders cuts us our first check! what’s your thoughts on distribution, my fellow book junkie?
It would be kewler if I were on it! LOL
@Simbathe2nd - Oh definitely!
It’s amazing!
Awesome!
Nice, let us know when it’s on the market.
The following Xangans are on the cover (going clockwise-ish from the top left):iStephanieMarie (now under another screen name), Myxldove and his wife, oulck, NoGraySunflowers, ScruffyLizard, Axis_of_Doom, me, Nattata, BrittMiles27, MoistLipsChappedHearts, RoadLessTaken, tjordanm and TheSecretLifeofPandas.
Cool!
nice cover art, methodelevated! @darkoozeripple - I recognize some of the pieces she’s done for Xangans (from photos)– for eg. nograysunflowers is up in the right corner with the bluish-purple shirt (facing left).
Very awesome!
@the_rocking_of_socks - sure it is, just like you (grovels and curries favour in a most revolting manner.)
cool…
checking via phone atm, but when I get to my laptop, I’ll get the e-mail right over
Love it!
I wanna beee iinn iittt toooo! =DAnd, what @tsh44 - said, let us know when it’s on the market! =D
Oh, that’s a cool marketing strategy for the site. Hope to see it sometime. This volume 1 or is this it?
Who should put together a CD for musicians, or a DVD for those who do videos?
YAY! It’s Wonderful!
@mynameisblueskye - I hadn’t really looked past this first edition, but as I’ve been putting it together ideas have flooded into my head for a second, perhaps done a little differently, and I have a title already, and a cover concept. A lot depends on if it sells, and we’re hoping for people to spread the word big time.
EDIT: It’s not really clockwise. I listed them left-to-right, starting from the top left.
@darkoozeripple - I hope so, too. We could use a lot of new blood.
@darkoozeripple - hmmm…..generating pre-publishing buzz I should think. Did you get the email w/the contract?
@darkoozeripple - was that a trick question?
Very nice! How exciting!
phew! I’m glad you spotted the mistake before it’s too late.
@mynameisblueskye - GREAT ideas.
How exciting! I will send it back right away!
@methodElevated - Oulck looks hardcore. Also, this picture is a nice mesh of most of the Xangans that you’ve drawn. It doesn’t look all clumped together! I’m sure that wasn’t easy.
@Axis_of_Doom - It was more time consuming than difficult, I’d say. It took hours to assemble the composite image, and many, many more hours for all the individual portraits.
@methodElevated - Yes. Indeed.
awesome!
@Roadlesstaken - Now I’m upset. If this were Dan’s site, you’d say “first!” Seriously, I’m glad you like it. I designed the cover for my last, but it’s a bit lurid, and visual arts aren’t really an area where I trust myself too far, so I was happy to let methodElevated do this..
@darkoozeripple - MethodElevated is quite talented. You picked a great Xangan to design your cover.
Did you end up fixing that typo?
@methodElevated - T_T;
@SerenaDante - probably, but I’ve forgotten. What was the typo?
@darkoozeripple - The 33 stories thing?
@OhItWontBeForever - I knoww! I adore the cover and wish we were on it too! I see Axis and RLT -luckies! ^_^
Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Voldemort is recruiting young teens, and the Order of the Phoenix is slowly searching for students with the determination, honor, and loyalty required to fight against him. As Death Eaters infiltrate the castle, enemies are forming, rivalries are continuing, and love is hard to come by. Parents are becoming overbearingly protective of their children, family members are being tortured, murdered, and held for ransome, and chances are, you’re not strong enough to survive the semester. Go home.Marauder’s Era Roleplay. Sixth Year. Made Ups Accepted.Just in case you don’t know what a roleplay is, or if you have the term confused with a different kind of gaming, I’d like to clarify what, exactly the point of this comment is. It’s an advertisement for a Harry Potter writing group. You’ve received the advertisement because you’re in a blogring called The Writer’s Outlet, and the moderator of this site thought you may, perhaps, be interested in such a group. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask, and I’ll do what I can to further elaborate on anything you need me to. If you have not read the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, I apologize for wasting your time.Sincerely, -Elle Allio (Moderator)
I added this to my post on Xanga news,she did a lovely job!
Awesome.
I am quite confused as to what this is really about…
That is great.
I have been thinking of doing a book using contributions by Xangans for a long time. Good luck with it!
@imasilentheart - He’s having a book published with work by us.
Great job mate!
I didn’t realize what you were compiling when I started following you (and it’s a good thing I didn’t submit my own name now that I know what it is… my Xanga is hardly used as a blog space, so it wouldn’t fit in
) but this looks awesome!!
Wow, that’s amazing. Kudos! ^_^
@SheepShot - which contains great people. ; = )
That’s cool. Sorta weird, but then again, so is Xanga. Lol
You need to let us know when this is able to be purchased!
cool ^_^
love this!!
Can’t wait for it to come out!
