Simple enough idea. Person A provides a title. Person B gives that title a snappy tagline for the cover. For Bonus Points, they can describe the poster or cover as well if they want. Then, they provide a new title for the next person to give the marketing makeover.

Obligatory Example

Title: The Trouble With Tropers

Tagline: When she found the forums, she thought she'd found a place with like-minded people. She didn't know how right she was.


Let's get started, shall we?

Title: The Devil's Nectar

But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.

Tagline: He found the Garden of Eden but he was about to find why paradise was lost.

Title: Land Of Gold is Great ad Everybody Wants Him.

Tagline: He got a lot more than he bargained for.

Poster: LOG laying on top of a brick wall and dozens of hands reaching for him under the wall, with a red background and the title "Land of Gold Is Great And Everybody Wants Him" hanging on a sign above him.

Oh, and it's rated PG-13 for some adult content and crude humor.

Is it ever gonna crack?

Poster: Think along the lines of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, but replace Harry with a hairy old coot and all of the other characters as they'd look 40 years older.

The conspiracy begins... and the Age of Adz ends.

Poster: "the situation" in blue Poor Richard font, sitting atop a search bar with the tagline typed into it and a cursor over the "I'm Feeling Lucky?" button so that it only says "Feeling Lucky?"
