Pentium4, 1.7GHZ, 768 mb ram Asus vcard (256mb ram) 80gb HD I have very few problems with P5. Granted, it's much more of a hog than version 4, but so far, knock wood, things are going well for me.

Well, elgyfu, to be fair, there is a definite market for homosexual romance and some great literature in that genre. This contest just happens to be centred on ONE aspect of the romance genre. I hope people participate anyhow. If anyone else runs a contest that's accepted as more inclusive or which involves strictly homosexual relationships, I'll gladly take part! :) Looking forward, VERY MUCH, to people's submissions to my contest regardless. I hope everyone has fun! :))

Well there is no discrimination intended or implied here. I have no problems with homosexual art whatsoever -- I think ffabris does some of the most stunning graphic art I've seen, for example, and I am a member at renderotica. The decision to run this contest with this theme was based on my sister being a writer AND my admiration for the artwork on the covers of the mainstream romance novels. Simple as that. I'm sorry for anyone who finds it offensive, no offense was meant. I could just as easily run a "homosexual couples only" contest, and would have no problems in that regard, nor would I in participating in such a contest... course then some conservatives would be offended with that subject matter. I know I could have had an "all inclusive" policy for this contest, but as I said the decision was based on my personal admiration for the artwork on a specific kind of novel and stems from my admiration as a fan of that work. I encourage anyone who isn't happy with these rules to run a contest whose rules DO make them so. The more contests the better, I think. :)

And yes that's right about Cimerone's store products. We did discover later on that it is illegal in Tennessee (where Renderosity is located) to run a contest in which a purchase is involved, so that rule has been eliminated.

hehe

:O)

Absolutely... I said before 1900, so YES!!... I think you could do a brilliant and beautiful romance cover with those subject!! ps/ The girl could be topless if she has long hair strategically placed, HEH!

You guys have GREAT stories!!!:))) Skid, I'm Canadian too!! :O)) SOO glad it all worked out for you. YAY!

Sorry for not responding sooner, I didn't get any ebots... disneyfabfive, if you want to do 500x600, that's just fine... although everyone here has offered some great advice so you'd be in good hands following that too. :)

and yes, time travel is a specific sub-genre of the romance novel, which CAN be done here only if the times depicted (both the one travelled TO and the one FROM) predate 1900. A Capt. Kirk type situation unfortunately would be too late for this contest, but maybe someone will have another one where it would fit. :))!!

ie/ on the book cover, the clothing would be one great way to convey the time period... the hairstyles another... even the background/landscape -- for example if there's a castle in the background (mind you the clothing and hair would have to correspond with this too).

Hope this helps!!

Jessie.
