Added Incentive
Two entries in the Desert Spear Arc Contest so far. The first was Elijah from here in NYC, who sent me his entry within hours of my announcing the contest:
The next day this beautiful and eerie submission came from Emily:
Emily didn’t specify where she was from, but since she has the TPB edition, I am guessing she’s from Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa.
I was thinking that the slow response from the rest of you is due to a lack of urgency in the contest timing, so I decided to spice things up a bit. So far I have three advance copies to give away, but there’s no rule that I have to give them all out at once. So let’s say that while this contest will continue for some time, the best entry submitted by this coming Friday, December 18, will have an advance read copy of The Desert Spear sent out Fedex priority on Saturday the 19th, hopefully to arrive in time for Christmas/New Years.
Please include a full mailing address with all entries. I promise not to share any information online except your first name and country of origin.
Happy Holidays.
Thanks! I kinda feel bad that I just threw something together, now, I didn’t realize people were gonna go all out with it. Ah well.
Feel free to send more entries, Elijah. You’re in NYC. There endless awesome backdrops to use!
Yay!
thannks Emily!
Ya just gave me the perfect Idea for a picture!
Thank you so much…now I’m just gonna find someone who can make it like I want to…
By the way…are my chances decreasing when the person (me) is ugly?
I mean…I know many people who are very beatiful…just in case my chances would be rising then…
(’cause all the people who entered till now are so not ugly)
Eve, that’s a terrible thing to say about yourself, and I don’t believe you. I’m willing to bet your are more beautiful than you realize, and I think you’re awesome, regardless.
-sigh-
You think I have a time to take a picture with your book, fool? It’s finals week!
…Well my Main bell tower would make a cool backdrop….Oh fork it, IT IS THE DESERT SPEAR!
-runs off to take a photo-
Damn, Peat, you’re spoiling the hell outta us! 🙂 My pic will be in shortly – I’ll have to take it with my webcam, but hey, no guts no glory, right? 🙂
Dammit! Would love to enter but I lent my copy to my friend can’t believe my luck doh! Keep writing those hits mate they rule!
Oops! Sorry (sheepish smile)
Should I send my mailling address to you?
-Emily
Just until the 18th? You really like to make things difficult, don’t you peat?. But That’s no problem 🙂
Ouch, Peter, that hurts!
I live in Tenerife (Canary Islands) and I’m spending the weekend in Madrid (mainland Spain) before leaving for… NYC! Yes, NYC! I’ll be there next week, it seems destiny, fate or the Deliverer wanted me to be near you when you handed away the first copy… but I won’t be able to enter the contest because my copy is Tenerife!
Would I get extra points if I bought another copy (that would be my fourth, the first three in Spanish, two of them were gifts) in English in New York City and took a picture of me? 🙂
Anyway, thank you very much for this amazing idea and have a happy Christmas 🙂
Lol..Um, thats okay Eve, I’m always glad to give someone an idea. 😛
P.S AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!
Now I need to go find somewhere pretty to take another picture :B
Emily
I thank God I live in London at this very moment. And if all goes well my collage picture will be awesome.
2 down 3 to go. 😀
