Merry Christmas! 
It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true
Wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas
A cup of kindness that we share with another
A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother
In all the places you find love
It feels like Christmas
It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the sprit
The message if we hear it
Is make it last all year
It's in the giving of a gift to another
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother
It's all the ways that we show love
That feel like Christmas
A part of childhood we'll always remember
It is the summer of the soul in December
Yes, when you do your best for love
It feels like Christmas
It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the spirit
The message if we hear it
Is make it last all year
It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas
It's true, wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas!

Hey there, my name is Peregrine Caged (obviously). I'm a pony fan fiction writer--DawnFade suggested I ask you to assist us in a 'little' project I've organized.
It's a collaboration of over sixty different authors, each writing for one pony a short Slice of Life story. Dawn found my own entry posted here and got on board and this thing has grown beyond my wildest dreams.
So, I think a project like this deserves a custom cover--all these authors who have joined in on my little idea deserve it. Furthermore, with that many authors (DawnFade among them), this is bound to get a lot of exposure...so, why not attach your art to it?
I love your style, it's good and unique. The piece I have in mind will be simple in and of itself, though the...idea behind it might be a little complicated. Anyways, I hope you find the idea at least interesting. Hit me up if you do.
Thanks for your time. Later.

Hi,
sorry the answer took 2 days, I was not on here for a while.
This sounds very interesting, I'd love to hear more about
the project and how you imagine the cover to look like.
I should have a little spare time upcoming so you can
count me in on this.

Not a problem. Heh, Dawn said you'd probably like it.
Well, the project itself was designed to be a sort of exercise: a lot of authors put a lot of worry and effort in their writing, often stressing or hitting blocks. So, this was supposed to help foster a new way of writing a story; as well as fostering practice on character development over plot.
So, the idea was for each author to pick a relatively 'major' (this word was redefined a few times) pony--generally ones who had an official name and/or had at least spoken a line of dialogue. They were then told to imagine a Moment, a simple, everyday sort of event and write 1000-3000 words. Nothing too serious or deep, just a simple Moment we might not normally see or even think about in the life of a character. These would be 'snapshots', written photographs to be a part of the overall project, The Album.
As for our actual cover...well, discussing with Dawn, optimally we'd have a sort of 'yearbook'-esque photo cover, with all the authors OCs. This would be an absolute nightmare, not only to collate but for anyone to draw. So, nice idea, a bit much to execute. So, we fall back on my original idea.
The project is called The Album, so I imagined a photo album cover. That, in and of itself, would be simple. But it's the look of it, the feel of it where the challenge comes in, I think. I want it to look worn, well-used, aged--quite simply, loved. But not raggedy. The Album should be typewritten fairly large and center. And then I'm trying to think of a few personalizations to add--such as a hand drawn message on the bottom talking about 'loving memories' or 'life's moments', something like that.
So, how's that strike you? Thoughts, questions, concerns, ideas?

Thanks for the information.
Also, I just saw that the project was announced at FIMfiction.
I'd be glad to help and try something for this cover.
Should there be any kind of background? (like a table/desk it is lying on with some personal things)
Is there a deadline for this?

We've got a decent filler, but a project like this and all the authors deserve something more.
*thinks* Well, I didn't intend a background or anything, but now that you say... That sounds like it might make a more personal touch, however. I'll leave it to your judgement, but that should work out well. The table and personal items, yes. Nice and homey.
