Issue 21, now published!

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: As I said, it gives people a taste of what well be releasing for the next issue. Any way of generating interest is good, especially for the Herald which is in a constant state of needing it! :P
Personally, I find it more interesting to see the upcoming cover and go "Hmm, that looks interesting", rather than secretively hoarding everything until the release. Think of it as advertising :P

2009-06-15 [SilverFire]: I think of it as cluttering the page.

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Hmm, maybe we should ask the others in the forum if they wish to continue using it like this, or not? I personally like it, we've often done it in the past when we have the covers organised on time (which is meant to be always! :P), and I think the page looks nice like this. Also, it is intended to provide inspiration to get people to contribute to the upcoming issue :P

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: The front cover looks amazing.
I love the use of Hans Gigers Alien.

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: It's the work of [BlackbirdKate], one of Elftown's old school awesome artists :P

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: It's brilliant 8D...I love it...

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Always good to hear :D

2009-06-15 [iippo]: Oh, that was confusing, I thought the new issue was out. Having the front cover before the actual issue spoils the surprise (does for me anyhoo). :/

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: I forget, do the elftown public know the theme before the herald comes out?

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Yup, the upcoming theme is always listed on this page

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: Then I see nothing wrong with having the front cover out before the issue 8)
Seems like a nice idea to show people what's coming up.

2009-06-15 [iippo]: But it still kind of... doesn't cancel the disappointment of "bwee new issu- no what the heck? Oh..."

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: I don't think it cancels the dissapointment at all.

2009-06-15 [Chimes]: Maybe, instead of having the whole cover we should have a teaser? Then there would be less disappointment and we'd get to advertise it beforehand. :]

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: Like a snipit of it...>8)

2009-06-15 [Chimes]: Exactly. :]

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: Oh [Chimes] you tricky little fox you~

2009-06-16 [Kaimee]: Great idea! There you go, teaser in place :P

2009-06-16 [Teufelsweib]: I do think it tickles the interest actually, instead of spoiling the surprise with the new cover

2009-06-17 [Kaimee]: Great! :D Well from now on, instead of posting upcoming covers we'll use the header/teaser graphic :)

2009-09-28 [A Phoenix Rising]: :P
