Looking for a cover just to laugh at while admiring your super serious one from another shop? Then you've found the right place.

25 points a piece just to cover the time and to put some sort of price on this.

You might remember the olden days, once upon a time when I made these originally.

Novelty: an article of trade whose value is chiefly decorative, comic, or the like and whose appeal is often transitory
aka that weird crap they made a fancy name for.

Novelty Shop: a store catering to tourists who loaded up with souvenir pennants and other novelties.
aka this shop, sort of.

Guidelines are as follows:
1. Give me the title of your novel. I can just work from that and produce something based on my predictions just from the cover.
2. Or add in a summary of like 3 sentences to describe everything that happens. \
-first sentence serious tagline
-second sentence odd scene that happens
-third sentence something isolated and weird that you wouldn't normally describe for the main summary
3. I can hand draw this or whip up a computer version. If you want a sketch, add an extra 5 points onto before mentioned 25 points.
4. Special requests like background or font or specific colors will be filled for an extra 25 points.

Work making jokes about other novels.

And here is some of my past work on my own novels.

Know someone with a novel who'd like one of these stupid things? They make great holiday presents btw.

Banners
1. What do you want on the banner? Your username? Your name? Some quote or joke or line from a meme?
2. What would you like the background to be? Give a description or just post something.
3. Font???
4. Anything else you think should be brought to my attention.

Possibilities
- Avatars
- Avatars of Avatars
- Cat meme location service
- Hit me with your best shot because I have done no creative work in awhile
- Joke covers of any novel
- Possibly applying to movies and television and music

Okay, well, despite the fact that you've read a good chunk of the Chosen Grandma story, Imma order one of these ridiculous novelties. (Btw the one for The Fault in Our Stars is my favorite.) Although I want a better title at some point, for the purposes of obviousness and ridiculousness we can just go with "The Chosen Grandma."

Just the regular order is good, although let me know if you want me to do the three-line-fake-summary thing and I can do that, instead of you going off what you've read/the title/what you think is going to happen.

Aaaaaaaaand Imma get those points to you right now.

Bingo is kind of funnier anyway, I think. Like knitting could definitely be funny, but considering people get shockingly competitive over Bingo I think it works out really well here.

Okay I'll go for a novelty novel cover B) title for the novel is Hell or High Water, and I can give you that summary if you want? Otherwise, I place my trust into your judgement *bows* and if it affects anything, the story is about pirates.

also the Catcher and the Rye <3

@scribbleinks
i just have a couple of simple things in mind based off of the title, so if you're cool with jokes about the title, then i don't need a description.

<3 I love the first one a little more (also I have never watched supernatural but I've heard lots of things), but they're both great! Thank you!
lol the first one is pretty much 100% accurate regardless

@blueafrica
Are you actually interested in another Chosen Grandma cover?
If so, I've got ideas.
