Famous Media Genderflipped Cover Game

[shamanicshaymin]

Okay, now that I've taken a few deep breaths, let's play a game inspired by Maureen Dowd's twitter, 'cause it's awesome.

Instructions: Take a favorite book or imagine your favorite video game/movie/webcomic/etc. was a book. If its original creator was a guy, genderflip him and give his book a stereotypically girly cover. If a female creator, genderflip her and give her book a badass/decent cover that accurately shows what her book is about.

That Super Mario Bros. cover is just freaking cute. XD And yay for genderswapping covers. I think a book's cover should match its genre, not the gender it's "for". Romance novels with frilly flowery covers? Hell yeah. Porny novels, though...maybe some nice gender-neutral shiny crimson and black. Sleek and sexy. :D

I'm just glad the classic novels I've read tend to have plainish covers, or ones artsy enough to go either way.

I agree. If Fabio's on the cover of a bodice-ripper, that's fine. Something like The Giver? ...Not so much. :P

Classic novels generally have more time to gather a variety of covers, haha. XD Lolita's covers are... interesting, to say the least. :P
