The first of May. Four months and counting.

One of the downsides to being a somewhat type-A math geek girl is having a constant awareness of the various numerical milestones unfolding all around me. It's the first of May! And quite aside from the various religious (Happy Beltane!) and humorous (Happy Jonathan Coulton Says You Have Permission To Do That, But Please, Not On My Lawn Day!)

How about a "post an LJ or Facebook note about Rosemary & Rue and win!"
Linkage required for verifacation, and X numbers of winners drawn from all verified entries?

And incidentally, I think anu suggestions you do use should have a chance at a copy.

And yes I am stacking the deck.
I have a copy on pre-order already, but if I can get an early copy through nefarious schemery, I will.

That's an idea for closer to the date of release. Right now, I don't want to over-saturate people on something they can't have. (Outside this journal, of course. I'm an author in pre-release, I have no choice.)

A caption contest for a strip of "With Friends Like These"?

[seanan_mcguire]

Interesting idea.

What about a 'Who or what is October Daye?' contest (could be Rosemary and Rue, or Toby, or whatever) with the person with the most wrong answer winning a book? As in everyone has to try and think of the most wrong answer. That sounds more confusing than it is.

Story or poem? Reverse iron poet perhaps?

Most delicious Seanan friendly recipe contest? Icon contest?

[seanan_mcguire]

Hee. Thanks, honey.

I think a "make a book trailer" contest would be good, as well as creating many opportunities for future marketing.

Someone else said "structured poem" - I forget the name for that type of poem of which the Rev. Dodgson was so fond, the one where the first letters of each line spell stuff out?

the one where the first letters of each line spell stuff out?

Acrostic poem?

[popelizbet]

That would be it, yes. :D Today is not a brain day.

[seanan_mcguire]

I think you're right, but also think that book trailers work better after a person's read the book, y'know?

[seanan_mcguire]

Thank you!
