LATE ECLIPSES ARC winner, and other ARC questions.

[seanan_mcguire]

Point the first: the winner of our random drawing "picture of your pet with one of my books" contest is...the_liz666! Please contact me via my website contact link within the next twenty-four hours to claim your prize. If you don't, I will choose another winner. Also, can I just say, I am SO VERY GLAD this was an explicitly random number-based contest?

I didn't enter because I have no pets right now, but I loved seeing all the entries :)

Maybe a competition where you write a sentence or a paragraph or draw a picture, and then we enter a story/poem/arty thing/whetever based on it? Or a photography competition, to take a photo that reminds us of something about your books? Or an LJ icon making competition? Or a macro making competition (LOLRoseGoblins?)?

Good thoughts!

How about "Name That Character" -- give a few details about a character, and whoever can tell you who that character is wins a prize.

[seanan_mcguire]

Hmmm. Good suggestion.

SQUEEEE!

I'm SO excited to win! Thank you!!! I replied to your email (since we've chatted before) but if you NEED me to reply via your webpage for authenticity I can do that too.
Thank you for giving me the coolest thing so far EVER! I owe you a My Little Pony.

Generally, I need you to go through the website, because I need the message to hit that inbox. Since you got there regardless, I don't much care right now. :)

I admit, there's not much I could feasibly do art-wise with something from one of the books.

...

No, I lied. I had some ideas for theme/soundtrack music when I was reading various bits. Time, though, is an issue right now. It would probably be a month or two before I got around to it (being the accompanist for a musical sucks your time up quick).

I've also been tempted in the past to create a tower or pattern of sorts using urban fantasy books with cover art by Chris. Kind of like those pictures made of pictures. Though that's extraordinarily tricky when you don't have an overabundance of books. The pattern anyway. A tower or otherwise... hrm.

As to contest ideas, a photography contest with the subject of your choosing. Or the most creative way to spell Toby's name, with materials of the contestant's choosing, and then posting a pic.

Or, you know. Have people send you cookies. Best cookie wins.

[seanan_mcguire]

I am a fan of cookies, it's true.

Probably a better competition for Blackout, but I think that a create a parasite (and describe its lifecycle, means of reproduction, effects on the host, etc.) would be interesting.

[seanan_mcguire]

For, ah, various reasons, that's not a good contest right now.

Look, a bunny.
