Judge this book by its cover

I am particularly proud of this one.

Stories here have always been about the words. Now they get a picture too.

Every story can have a cover now, but you don't just upload an image, you draw it! A great way to deal with limitations and let creativity shine. And like everything else on Half Quill, you don't draw it on your own. Someone lays down the first strokes. The next person adds theirs. Turn by turn, a cover appears the same way the story did: a little from you, a little from a stranger.

See a story with no cover yet? First stroke's yours. Pick up the pen, draw what the story feels like, and pass it on. There's a pen and a brush, a handful of inks (plus a colour picker if you're fussy), and an eraser that only ever lifts your own ink, never anyone else's. Looking never takes a turn, so you can always just peek first.

Tap any finished cover to watch it drawn, stroke by stroke, at the pace it was made. So you can see exactly whose hand shaped which corner.

If you own an iPad with an Apple Pencil, you will even have access to pressure sensitivity.

No pressure, no blank-canvas dread. A cover grows one turn at a time, just like the story underneath it.
