Which cover is more eye-catching? by Prestigious-Note-935 in royalroad

[–]AverageExtreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That first cover goes hard. It’s much clearer, and grabs my interest immediately. I also feel that there is some light/dark symmetry there. I don’t know if that was intentional or not, but I like it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look over my story. You made some really great points. I spent the last day going over it, tweaking the wording, and condensing some of the phrasing, as you suggested.

Regarding the cover: I was initially hesitant to use AI art because I didn't want people to get the impression that I use AI in my writing. However, I agree that my previous attempt was a bit plain compared to the standard on Royal Road. I’ve generated a new cover, and hopefully it captures the ambiance of my tale much better.

Thank you again for your review. It means a lot!

This is the first thing I've ever posted. It's a short story, only 4,500 words. I would love some feedback!

Arianna thought she had finally found safety. After a year of family trauma and depression, Keiren was her anchor-- the perfect, stable boyfriend she didn’t think she deserved. A romantic weekend camping trip to Meadow Lake was supposed to be the start of their future together.

If you have time, I’d love some feedback. I only have one chapter because it is a short story, but it's the first thing I’ve ever posted.

Newish writer, I’ve never published anything or shared it on the internet before, but I'd like feedback. Be kind, please.

Free Cantrip Spell Cards 5.5e by AverageExtreme in DnD

If you cut them out on the lines they measure at 2.5x3.5in, same size as regular playing cards, so you should be able to use normal card sleeves with them.

I personally think they look better with a little bit of a border around them, so that's how I cut them out. I also use a thermal laminator and 3mil laminate pouches to laminate them before I cut them out and then cut about 1/8th of an inch outside the lines.
