Hello everyone, very nice to talk to you all again. This notice is to inform you of a few things. Firstly, it is appearing in a couple different locations. So, if you are reading this at the beginning of curse of Echidna, I would advise you not to read past the first couple chapters, because a remake of this story is coming very soon. Why even read the first couple chapters? I'll get to that in a moment.

If you are reading this at the tail-end of The Stolen Spellbook, as stated above, the remake of Curse of Echidna is on its way soon. At the very latest, I plan to post the first five chapters by December first, though I hope to post them much sooner than that. I would advise that you read this remake, because there have been some minor changes. For example, the Halloween chapter has been replaced by an entirely different chapter, which will play significance in the story to come.

Now, the reason I am addressing all of you, is this. I would love some cover artwork for my re-release of Curse of Echidna, but I am a lousy artist. So, I am opening the position of this series' artist to all of you. How am I going to pick who becomes my artist? Well, anyone who's interested should create their cover art either on the computer, or by hand (if by hand, please scan into your computer to send it along). Once you have created your artwork and have it on your computer, attach it to an email and send it to curseofechidna (insert at symbol, for some reason, it refuses to stay in the text) gmail . com (no spaces, of course). My favorite will become the cover for Re: The Curse of Echidna. Those of you who have yet to read it, that's why I said it was okay to read the first couple chapters, perhaps they'll give you an idea for the cover.

Alright, rules:

1) Your artwork must be original.

2) Somewhere on there, I'd like the name of the story (either The Curse of Echidna or Re: The Curse of Echidna will work).

3) Keep it clean, keep it classy. If something with inappropriate content is entered, it will be disqualified, so don't even bother.

4) If you would like to include a brief statement about your artwork, that's fine, but keep it brief. At the most, two paragraphs.

5) If you don't win, please don't be bitter. Don't be a sore loser, because I am sure that your artwork is fantastic, and picking is going to be very difficult.

6) Have fun. That is, to me, the most important bit. Please, enjoy yourself.

Besides possibly having your artwork featured as the cover, all of your entries will be put up for display on a lovely webpage (more news on that later). The deadline for entry is November 30th, so make your artwork and, again, have fun.
