A question for the floor.

So:

Shortly before I left for New York (beginning of February, for those keeping track) and began the wonderful whirlwind that has been my spring convention season, I opened a hardship giveaway. Because of the timing of the trip, winners were not selected before I left, and have, in fact, not been selected yet. Since then, two more books have

I'm tempted to say: do a drawing from the original, and do a separate one for the two "new" books. However, I realize that means more work for you, so I'm hesitant about the idea.

The reason there was an original drawing is that people donated postage costs. I can't afford to pay postage beyond that right now, so it's either "all original" or "all new."

Do a new post with the updated book information, I say. It will not likely hurt anyone who threw their name in the hat for the old post to do the same for the new post.

This was the right call.

As one of the people who entered the original, I'd say make the apologies if you feel more is necessary, and then do a new drawing. I'm not sure my answers will change much, but the option is nice to have. :)
