Author's Notes 1: I signed up for a 10_themes table on Ron Weasley, in honour of my good friend melmoe1, who adores the Weasleys, especially Ron. I then asked if she would do up some cover art for the magazine theme I had of Wizard of the Month. She readily agreed (which, truth be told, I knew she would for Ron), and her love for this ginger wizard shines through in her art. Please take a few minutes to visit her LJ and leave some well-deserved comments for this outstanding cover.

Oh, and we're doing a different wizard each month ... February showcases Draco Malfoy.

Author's Notes 2: After completing the first article, I enlisted the assistance of my lovely friend winter_june to do some excellent background graphics, to really give it the feel of a magazine article. Many, many thanks to June, since now she's stuck doing ten for each wizard we showcase this year. *hugs*

Hee. I figured it leaves the reader wanting more. Heh.

Just a bit, hmm? *g* The other articles, once she calms her heart down a bit from unexpectedly seeing him so scantily-clad, will be less fangirlish.

Official news, indeed! That little headline was Mel's baby. She did an awesome job on the cover art, and the ones for Draco and Harry are also very drool-worthy. Mmmm.

Ahahaha, I'm surprised the journalist was able to form coherent sentences after seeing him so scantily-clad, she must be quite talented. ;)

And oh, did melmoe1 make up that headline? I really am quite fond of it, I must dash off and let her know now. :D

(Don't tease now, I'm already excited about the Harry and Draco ones as it is. *g*)

Yes, I suspect the first article will still have her a bit flustered, and trying to recover ... so you can likely expect questions that are more personal than asking about his job and so on. She'll save that until she's done.

Yeah ... I came up with the Wizard of the Month concept & suggested Witch Weekly as the mag, but everything else is Mel's doing. I write the articles, and she does the covers.

Speaking of teasing ... I just posted this flyer (http://sesheta-66.livejournal.com/161265.html), showing all the wizards for the year, with a bit of a blurb about each. Since every one of these requires a hard pasting onto a PhotoShop background, winter_june has signed up for more than she bargained for, I'm afraid. *g* That's 120 images for the year, plus this little flyer. Oh, and I asked her to do me up an icon. She's gonna be sick of me soon. ♥
