There is an art genre that we at In Space dig, and it is bad 70's romance novel covers. You know the ones - she has a big dress that's blowing in the opposite direction of her big hair, and she's draped over a guy in tight, leather pants with his shirt undone but tucked in.

I think you can see where this is going. We want you to do up a romance novel cover featuring Transformers.

1) Any generation is fine, but it's canon characters only.

2) It can be drawn or you can take photos of your toys. Clothing and costumes are optional.

3) Have we ever cared about gender? Het, slash, and everything in between is fair game.

4) Adding a title and other bits to make it look more like a book cover is totally encouraged.

5) Attempting to duplicate an existing romance novel cover is fine, but include a link so's we can compare.
