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.

Donate one to a local hospital/library or maybe a community center or such? (I assume even if Mike hadn't already suggested it, that you've already thought of Interfilk/filk fund auctions...)

I also rather like the geocache idea. Or you could (but that's more work) devise a treasure hunt started from your website that leads to a copy of it?

Or create a webpage for "The travelling ARC" - and set one free with the website url in it and a request to 1) sign the website with a location where it got read (perhaps with facility to upload a photo?) and 2) pass it on/set it free for the next person to do likewise and find out how far an ARC can travel?

Donate one to your local comic store?

My local comic store has one! It's awesome.
