Okay. Advise me.

I have a few more ARCs to give away, and I'm stumped. So how should I give them away? (Hint: saying "give them to me" will actually not endear you, unless you finish that sentence with "I do all the buying for a major bookstore" or something similar, and can present credentials.) Have you got a favorite review site? Have I missed a contest? Should I abandon them on BART cars? What?

Propose anything. I am open to the crazy.

EDIT: So it's said, the "abandon on BART cars" option was a joke. I won't do anything that involves releasing ARCs into the wild, outside the bounds of the standard social contract, with no idea where they went. Not okay.

Personally, I think you should have an Iron Poet round where *you* pick the words and the style, and the best entrants win the ARCs.

That's a wonderfully diabolical scheme, which I would like even better if I didn't already have an ARC.

But yes: entrants sign up in the contest topic, Seanan gives three words and a prompt to each, and madness ensues. (I think it would be more interesting for each entrant to get a different set of words, but one might also do it with a single word set.)

...oh, that is so more work than my poor, over-taxed blonde brain can handle right now. :( I'm not sleeping.

I'm sorry; I hope you get some sleep soon!
