Sweet. I've done 500x500 squares for podfic covers, so 600x600 won't be a problem.

I'm confident I can swing Inception, since The Losers cast looks absolutely and utterly amazing in suits. I have never seen Red, but I think I can come up with something. The premise of your plot for that fanmix is that Victoria is Jensen's mum, right? If so, I know I can find tons of pics for Helen Mirren.

I'm pretty sure I can come up with something for Jolene, too, but I've had trouble finding pics of Tanee McCall-Short. I'm going to play around with it a bit and see, though. ^_^

ETA: Okay, since the mood has apparently struck, I've been playing around with a possible fanmix cover for Jolene, but I need to know if the fanmix is pre-movie canon or during. Er, so pretty much, should I include Aisha at all or leave her out? Thanks!

victoria is jensen's mum. it's her last mission before she retires and she pulled strings to do it with her son. part of the mix is about their relationship as jensen grows up. ("harper valley pta" and "in the garage" are both on it.)

the jolene mix sort of follows her journey from growing up in a small town to joining the army to becoming a loser to meeting linwood to what happens in the movie and after. so aisha or no aisha it's up to you.

also suits all the time on all of these suave GQMFs. umpf. if you don't get the coverart to work out i am totally willing to accept a picspam for inception. (no inception movie characters actually appearing in mix/fic jsyk.)

do you want me to PM you the list of songs? i'm having trouble with mediafire uploading.

*_* An Inception picspam just might have to happen. *dumps all the Losers cast pics in a wip folder*

I can view the list on the AO3, so no worries. I kept peeking at it while I was trying to figure out the cover for Jolene's fanmix (ended up scrapping the first two ideas altogether).

Hmmmm. I think I can definitely work something up for Red, then. I love Helen Mirren in photoshoots. She always looks so elegant.

So consider it a definite go on fanmix covers for Jolene and Red from me and a possible Inception/Losers picspam if I can sort through everything and compile it. :)
