Hey everyone! This Haiku contest was a huge success! We had a -ton- of amazing haikus from you guys. Like I mentioned in last week’s post, Peat’s Daylight War Haiku Contest served as the inspiration and I’m happy it turned out so well. There have been a ton of other amazing contest ideas from the past that may be revisited (wink), which we hope you guys get just as excited for!

For today though, let’s all give a big round of applause for our winner this week who sent in two haikus.

Warded Man haiku:
Once knew a girl from Cutter’s…
Wait, that’s a limerick.
*********************
I’d give my right arm
to be able to draw wards
as well as THAT guy. -FredG

Congratulations, FredG! I especially like the first one. We’ll be contacting you shortly about your prize.

Our next Warded Wednesday is TOMORROW. Be sure to check it out! In the meantime, there were a bunch of other entries that deserve a look-see:

Living in the daylight
Surviving in the darkness
Who will deliver us -Stinga

“are the demons there?”
asks my girlfriend next to me
“always” i reply

****************************

ward circle at night
make a haven of safe light
still, you hear the screams -Andrew

Swooping, deadly, low
The Wind Demon circles
Diving, shrieking, kills. -Scott

Calculus needed.
Rojer is in the bath tub
He plugged the bath cork
*************************
Demon in the sack
She lays him down on his back
Soon a heart attack
*************************
Darkness upon him
Light ahead, there is hope.
Only twin embers
************************* -Khaled

Hey everyone! I will never cease to be amazed by warded tattoos. We’ve had a bunch of them, from Flame Wards to Arlen’s trademark Impact Ward, they’re always awesome.

James Dyer got combat ward tattoos and they are seriously badass. Check them out!

I’d hate to be a coreling up against those! Thanks so much to James for sharing them with us.

Hey everyone! Ever wanted a Demon Cycle video game? Well this is the closest we’ve ever gotten (so far). It’s incredible. I know I say that about a bunch of stuff, but this one really is frikken amazing.

An awesome gamer called TriggerJ recently showed off his unarmed build for Skyrim inspired by Arlen. Check it out:

This video honestly looks like it could be from an official video game. In the description of his Youtube video, TriggerJ includes all the mods you need to make your own Arlen (or any warded characters) in Skyrim.

Yeah. I’m gonna go play Skyrim now.

Hey everyone! OldNile has sent in a bunch of Demon Cycle swag and awesomeness over time. Today, protection meets fashion today with his cool warded shirt!

Custom ward shirt. Only thing’s missing is a couple of those wards that turns heat into a cool breeze.

I seriously love this design and a dark color means you won’t see the blood of all the demons you slay.

Thanks so much for sending this in! I’m too squeamish to get ward tattoos, so this seems like a great solution for me.

Hey everyone! A few years ago, Peat held a Daylight War Haiku Contest. The contest turned out some really awesome responses and I’m bummed to have missed it. I figure it’s about time to give it another shot, don’t you?

This week, there’s no question. Instead, we’re asking you to create a Haiku (three lines, 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively) based on the Demon Cycle.

These Haiku can be serious, funny, whimsical, scary, whatever. You can submit more than one. This is a pretty low bar of entry, so have fun with it!

The prize for this giveaway is a UK-edition Skull Throne paperback!

The Skull Throne is the latest book in the Demon Cycle series. If you’d like a copy signed by Peat himself, go ahead and enter.

Remember, we can only pick your comment if you respond to our post on the blog. We’re looking forward to your answers.

Giveaway answers will be accepted until Monday. The winner will be announced Tuesday.
