Wintercraft is the best <3

I love the Cover Wars!

Wintercraft strode in ready to battle it out, but now metal dogs are nibbling at its pages, a green-clawed hand is trying to pull it through the Goblin Gate and a werewolf is staring it down in a most sinister fashion.

Silas Dane is not amused.
They'll be shredded paper all over the place before the end, you mark my words. ;)

Good luck everyone!

Wereworld was the clear winner for me. Had to turn my laptop upside down.
Jo Bling said…
Loving that comment about the laptop Sue! :-D Is it shameful to admit that I crouched on the stool in my studio with my neck craned to the ground when it first came through?
