Glad you liked it.
I would love such a poster but have no idea how it could be done.

Some kind of image manipulation program like Photoshop or the GIMP would do, how well it would turn out would depend on the user, but essentially would involve cropping whatever images you plan to use so that they can be rearranged into a single image that we want on the poster (e.g. a picture of the "main cast").

Slightly off-topic, but I read the last couple of pages of your fic, Arwen (I'm quite behind on it, I shall need to catch up on the rest that I missed another time XD) Like the description of the Mountain King, bless him not being listened to I shall be checking back eagerly in hope of seeing some Mab/ Loke goodness, BTW, which is my current pet pairing... Looking back over the books, the only gods that appear in them are the four elemental kings and Idath (well, technically the Fire Lord doesn't appear, unless we take the Last Dragon thing to be the canon truth)- I wonder why Idath is not "part of the family", so to speak. I mean, I get that he isn't an elemental king, but it does kind of leave him on the outside a bit. Either that, or the elemental kings simply refer to each other as brothers and sisters due to the connections of their realms, so to speak? Actually, that's a point. I'm a big fan of Mab/Loke, as I previously mentioned, and I was wondering if anyone else here was a fan (or of Mab/ Puddles, Mab/ Mountain King, or any combination of the elemental kings including any alternative version of the Fire Lord, given that nothing about him except his domains- Fire and Emotions- are specified in canon), and how they saw the relationship working. I mean, speaking specifically for Mab/ Loke, on the one hand, I like them having a kind of brotherly/ sisterly relationship, but on the other hand, I kind of like them as a pairing. Which throws up incesty problems... argh, it's like Merlin/ Mab all over again

Mab/Loke, that's one I never thought about... Alright for me, could be fun. Mab/Puddles. Now that is one I have considered in the past. I think this would be incredibly difficult to write. But there is something to it, don't know exactly what. Extreme opposites and beautiful.

Yes Arwen's fic sooo got me into Mab/Loke I love them together. He is great well the way I've picked him up through fics anyway. He is less serious and more light hearted than the others and usually takes great joy in winding Mab up which is always fun. They're a good match.
I dont know why Idath isnt part of the family lol. it may be an elemental thing or something but I dunno I mean they are basically all the same sort of thing barr him not being of a religion.
Mab/Loke I like as brother and sister and as a pairing Im not fussy either way. Mab/Puddles, well Im not sure I have thought of them as a pairing at one point but due to my intense dislike of dear Puddles it's hard for me to focus properly on them as sisters or a pairing. Mab/Mountain King is one I havent thought of I've actually got less an idea about him than I do Loke which is odd considering he was actually in the film. I dont know him well at all but I am a bit mind set that he cant stand Mab which has nothing to with book or film but a roleplay of mine. It'd be nice to hear different views on them so I could get into them as a pairing or brother/sister.

Mab/Puddles would be a tricky one. They're very much opposites, indeed... I don't know, I'd have trouble approaching them from a shipping perspective, mostly because I'd have no idea where to even begin.
The Mountain King is an odd one indeed. Where Puddles appears quite a lot in the film, and Loke has appeared a lot in fics, the Mountain King doesn't appear that much in either...
Going by the film, we know he gets on quite well with the Lady of the Lake ("She has been a friend of mine since before the dawn of time"), we know that he doesn't fear disappearance- or rather, we know that he doesn't believe he truly will disappear ("I cannot die... I will live forever, on the edge of dreams"). He doesn't seem to actively work against Mab in the same way that the Lady of the Lake does through Merlin - bear in mind that Merlin is the one that seeks him out, initially- but he does benefit Merlin and Arthur, when he gives the sword to Arthur- presumably because he believes him to be worthy of it.
So, I guess I see him as closer to the Lady of the Lake than he is to Mab, but not anti-Mab to the same extent that LotL seems to be. As for a pairing, no idea.

Mab/Puddles well you start by making them care about each other, sisterwise. Get them to see that this is more important than their differences. They are having the same problem: disappearance. That should make them bond Mab/Mountain King: To be honest I can't even see them as brother and sister. Their relationship strikes me as "a friend of my sister's".

Mab/Puddles: Hmmm, maybe... but disappearance doesn't really seem to bother the Lady of the Lake- you've got one sister who believes that they need to fight to survive, and is prepared to, and another that believes that they shouldn't fight fate. It's not really something with a common ground. I think any pairing would have to take place fairly far pre-film- it's entirely likely that at some point in the past they have put aside their differences and united over something- after all, Mab DOES go to Puddles to ask for help in the film, which would be unlikely if they had never worked together. Mab/ Mountain King: I see what you mean... its definitely pretty distant, all things considered. Not especially hostile, but definitely not close. Having looked at the above, I really think Mab/Loke is the only elemental king related pairing I can easily visualise. Of course, if we extend that to Idath, too, then obviously we know he and Mab were lovers. What about other combinations of elemental kings and/or Idath- any jump to mind? I've seen the idea of Puddles quite fancying Idath mentioned in fics before now, I think, but that's about it... Aside from Arwen and Libitine's fic, with the ritual, and the new ruler of water, but that's more... well, of a ritual. Here's a thought: It's mentioned that Mab's taken human lovers (her 7 year stands )- I wonder if the other elemental kings ever did the same thing?

I've seen the idea of Puddles quite fancying Idath Yes, I like that one. -loves Puddles being painted as Mab's jealous sister-
I wonder if the other elemental kings ever did the same thing? Absolutely. Though I think they, especially the Lady, would be more discrete about it. I can imagine Loke having flings.

Okay short the Mountain King is just a very lazy boring character that lazys around all day whines when he's woken and his biggest role through out is holding Excalibur. I get the feeling yeah him and Puddles are on good terms, he's not interested at all in Mab and I imagine he'd find Loke annoying.
Mab and Puddles well yes making them bond on the other hand I do like the idea of firing Puddles up more and making it more angsty and cat fighty with them. The idea of pre film wise them being on better terms works they could have been really close once but part more and more due to Viviene's acceptance and Mab's hunger to fight really setting it as impossible for them to remain friendly.
If we're taking votes I like the new lotl waaay better.
Them taking lovers, well Mab yes she is really hot and she just needs to have lovers plural. So I imagine she has also slept with Loke.
Idath being her on off lover yeah I dont really see him taking a human though. It is imaginable he slept with Puddles at one point.
Puddles and the mountain king I have trouble to see either of them taking lovers, Puddles seems pretty passionless compared to Mab and the Mountain King again I have so much trouble imagining him moving at all so to me he seems really too lazy. I have always played upon the idea of Mab/Viviene sibling jealousy over Idath or in my fic Vortigern. And the one person I can actually imagine her with is the mountain king. I suppose though yeah Puddles may just be more discrete when it comes to lovers where as I see Mab swinging from the chandiliers.
Loke yes I see him possibly having even more lovers than Mab. I loved the part where the elements slept together and imagine Loke does have a taste for Mab. Fire and Air and all that.

*slightly offtopic but in the interests of forum revival, naturally... * I was on your's and Libitine's fic recently, Arwen, and I did a little jig to see the start of some Mab/ Loke stuff crop up ^^ Good times. In an attempt to be slightly more on topic... eh, no, I got nothing for now. Give me some time.

"If we're taking votes I like the new lotl waaay better." Agreed. Merlin 2 Puddles and Mab should team up. I think they could be best friends/sisters, rather like how it is on fb roleplay now. And Mab would finally get the help she deserves. "I suppose though yeah Puddles may just be more discrete when it comes to lovers where as I see Mab swinging from the chandiliers." loool I agree on the Puddles being discrete when it comes to lovers. The image of Mab though... could we get that in Mab the movie or would it be too much? sensible me: too much. On Idath "It is imaginable he slept with Puddles at one point." That sounds really plausible to me. The Idath on the picture looks like one I might actually like. *little shock* "I loved the part where the elements slept together" All of them? *looks around* Errrr did I miss something?

And Mab would finally get the help she deserves.Then who would we blame for all our technological problems loool I agree on the Puddles being discrete when it comes to lovers.See thats what she's always doing when Mab or Merlin calls her up from the lake. The image of Mab though... could we get that in Mab the movie or would it be too much? sensible me: too much. *pushes vodka towards you* Shhh sensible talk indeed we'll have none of that. Now wait here till I go check on that chandelier. That sounds really plausible to me. The Idath on the picture looks like one I might actually like. *little shock**coughing fit* Water slut! Yeah I did really like the image "I loved the part where the elements slept together" All of them? *looks around* Errrr did I miss somethingYesssssssss
