In Which There Shall Be Contestery! [Contest]

13 July 2009 10 Comments

Due to the kindness of wonderful Ilona Andrews and Ace/Roc, I have gotten my hands on some 2009 science fiction and fantasy samplers.The samplers contain chapters from the newest works belonging to: Faith Hunter (Skinwalker), Mark Del Franco (Skin Deep), Patricia Briggs (Hunting Ground), Rob Thurman (Trick of the Light), Ilona Andrews (On the Edge), Steven R Boyett (Elegy Beach), and Julie Kenner (Tainted). Ilona was even kind enough to sign them all before forwarding to me. Aren’t you lucky? I am giving away three of them right here and right now. I will give away a 4th to one lucky (random*) person when I reach 100 followers on Twitter.

Here are the rules:

  • Just leave a comment. It can be anywhere on the site, if you prefer, but you must come back and leave me a note on this thread telling me you have commented.
  • I can only ship to the continental US. I’m deeply sorry for my Canadian and international friends but I make exactly $0 from this blog and thus don’t have an international shipping budget. (I sincerely wish that I did!)
  • Make as many comments as you wish, but you will be entered into the drawing exactly once.
  • Contest will end in two weeks on July 27th at midnight everywhere. On July 28th, I’ll draw the winners using random.org’s number generator.
  • I will announce winners here at WFF and on Twitter. Winners will have 7 days to claim their prizes before I’ll be forced to draw another winner.

As for the Twitter contest, I will draw one more lucky winner at random using the above method when I’ve reached 100 (non-spammy) followers. Same shipping conditions apply. At least check, that was a mere 10 followers away.

*I am drawing a random follower on Twitter because I don’t believe in the “x-th follower wins” method. That sounds an awful lot like throwing over your old followers in favor of your newest ones to me, an that’s always left a bad taste in my mouth. So I will do a random drawing so everyone has a chance to win! YAY!

Update: The Twitter winner has been drawn! Congratulations @spragujs!

    Ben is my favorite! [At least for today.]

  • Melissa T said:

    I love you. Even though you don't love me back. But that's okay, I will just sit here in a puddle of my unrequited naner-love. (I am goofy tonight. Can you tell?)

  • Melissa T said:

    Always glad to have one more! (How's the hostage situation with the muse coming?) :-)

    Ah, thats alright I understand. It does cost quite alot of money to post international.

    Maybe you'll run another one when Tam and I move to the states? lol It will most likely happen, one day, soon. Perhaps. If it all works out!

    Then I will qualify!!!

    All jokes aside, I love this site. I've had a good look around and I think its just brilliant Kia :D

  • Melissa T said:

    Aw, MATO – if you want we can enter you and ship it to Paige if you win! I'm sure she'll have another package for you eventually. And that's the customary work-around for international shipping – I just forgot to include it in my post! (And thanks!)

  • Joann said:

  • Joanna said:

    And my name is, of course, Joanna, the commenter thing doesn't like me. *pout*
