Barring a world-meltdown because of the fast and furious commenting below, I am throwing a contest.

Having gotten two henchmen to agree to the idea in Public Forum, I hereby claim legitimacy. Here's the deal:

Franco is Beautiful.

No wait, that's just the incentive. Seeing as there is a mass consensus that seeing James Franco as a blushing, beautiful, buffed-up Sophos would be a joy forever, I would like to call an icon conglomeration. Come up with your best and wittiest Sophos icon (or icons) using (or not) such a Franco, and comment here. If you like one, you may comment ON THE COMMENT to which the icon is attached, thereby voting. Multiple voting is allowed with excuse pleas, inordinately shameless grovelling, offers of cookies, or solid reasoning. As you choose.

I will award the maker of the most commentedest icon at the end of the week with any given page of the Thief or King of Attolia (QoA only if willing to wait until I get to the library) in my unique handwriting on frameable calligraphy paper. Others may offer booty as they deem wise.
If you comment on my own lj what you'd like to offer, I'll even add it to the bottom of this post!

Ready? Go!

~Booty Alert!~      It appears our lady MWT would like to encourage this misbehaviour. She is adding a KoA paperback to the prize, one each for an icon, and another for fan art.

I got a little carried away making icons and ended up with 10 instead of 1. So... i'm gonna enter this one for the contest, but if anyone wants to see the others, they are here: http://avian-xj.livejournal.com/5672.html at my journal :)

Wow! I'm pretty sure this is one of the first official fandom-type non-Megan-initiated contests ever! It's such a big step!

And I uh kinda TOTALLY WORSHIP this idea. That is all. XD

Please forgive my ignorance but WHO IS SOPHOS?!??
I'd like to see Franco in ANYthing given that I've become so smitten with him! I have icons but have gotten them from others. (You can see them in my Photobucket.com. Just type in DTrent & go to my massive collection of James Franco!)

That's funny, I was going to ask "Who's Franco?" but obviously I'm the only one who doesn't know!

I emerge from a hole! Even though Adobe's disappeared from my computer, and I am in the thick of revision.

James Franco is too tempting. I have two contributions, I hope it's okay.

[livejournal.com profile] penguinkye, you're not the only one who can't quite see it.

From She-Who-Never-Forgets-But-is-Very-Nice:

I like the icon of Jeremy Sumpter for Sophos. I've always pictured him as fair haired. what's odd is that I saw him in Peter Pan and thought he was faahhhbulous. I wanted him as Gen. He has a very wicked smile, and I thought that with his hair dyed, he might be quite the Eugenides. Now I'm thinking of him as Sophos and Franco, who every body else loves as Sophos, I see as Gen.

Thoughts?

ooooh. I do like this idea. Seeing dawnbluewings' icon next to all the others really makes Jeremy Sumpter stand out as a better Sophos, and, now that you mention it, Franco would make very nice Gen. This has gotten me imagining scenes from the books on screen :)

Also, did someone mention Zac Efron for Gen once? http://blogs.timesunion.com/lizfunk/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/zac-efron-picture-12.jpg not sure why that popped into my head.

I decided James Franco definitely isn't my Sophos...or my Gen for that matter. So I searched around, and couldn't find anything that really matched my inner picture of Sophos. That Jeremy Sumpter picture up above is close, but it's still not quite right. Here are a few more icons for the contest showing other people who might almost fit:
