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.

I like the Iron Poet idea where you provide the words and we provide the entries. I also like the Rosemary and Rue soundtrack option.

How about a Twitterfic contest? In the rules, require everyone to use the hashtag #rosemaryandrue (that leaves them 125 characters for the fic). Not only might it help spread the word about your book via curiosity about the Twitterfic and following the hashtag link, but it'll be a fun and (relatively) easily judgeable contest what with the entries being so short.

Oh, now, THAT sounds like an awesome idea. Thank you!
