ARC giveaway #2: The picture giveaway.

It's time for the second ARC giveaway for One Salt Sea, the fifth of the October Daye adventures. As per the usual pattern around here, this is the giveaway that requires a little more effort. To whit:

For this giveaway, we're going visual! Take a copy of one of my books. Take a pet, prop, or even a small child, whatever suits your fancy. An Artificial Night being held by a little girl with a candle in her other hand? A Local Habitation being used to prop up your DSL modem? Late Eclipses being menaced by an army of My Little Ponies? Whatever you can set up and snapshot, I want to see!

Post your pictures (or links to your pictures) here. On Tuesday, July 5th, I will choose my five favorites, and allow the random number generator to select five more. These will go up as a poll, and the world can vote! The final winner will be determined at 8am PST on Friday, July 8th. North American entries only this time, I'm afraid; I just can't afford the international postage right now. I'm sorry about that.

Be creative, be quirky, have fun, and show me what awesome things you can do with a camera, a book, and the desire to own One Salt Sea before your neighbors do!

Game on!

If I am so immensely lucky as to win (unlikely because there are awesome pictures here) I can give you a US address and have them send it on to me.

Mostly I'm posting this because now I've made some prototypes I wanted to show you the early stages of the flowers I'm doing with the ARCs you sent for art purposes. Having a copy of AAN I decided I also had to make a 'how many miles to Babylon?' bracelet which you should be just about able to read (hope that's ok as you specifically sent it for flowers. If you want one or something similar, tell me). Ok. No more rambling, just picture! (which will hopefully actually post this time *fingers crossed*)

I just have to say WOW on the little flower. I really want one of those on a bobby pin or barrette for my hair.

Thank you! It's only the second one of those I've made and the first one made out of a Seanan book but I really like it and think with a bit of practice I can make some awesome ones! And yes, I can totally see serving like that working as a hair accessory.

Whew! It's been quite the weekend...Taking heart from your prediction that I would be invaded/accosted/conquered by a fuzzy, I decided that I could commit to finding housing which would allow furries when I get a real job. I'd been contemplating it when I watched an episode of "The Closer," and Brenda Leigh picked up her cat. That image called to mind the images of your family and all of the cute ones already posted...The next day, I was off to the local shelter.
Luckily for my budget, I steeled my self-control, as there were SOOO many beautiful kittens there. Katniss literally would not take "no" for an answer and attached herself to me. Who was I to say differently. All of a sudden, my 4th of July weekend changed from regretting missing Contata to a weekend of bonding. Katniss says "hi" to all.
Thanks!

Fostering kittens in my library so of course they had to investigate the Seanan McGuire and Mira Grant selections. These pictures are not posed this is just where the kittens decided to chill.

Today was take Seanan's books to work day....

This is feed next to our containment level 3 facility...

As promised a Toby picture. The device the book is sat next to is a tape library....

Matilda likes to sit on them.

Matilda and Conrad like reading the covers.

Conrad even has a thumb to open the books with.

Conrad is further into the series, and Matilda sticks out her tongue at him.

Sam is curious too.

(I have three other cats -- Coco, Eva, and Orange Cat -- I clearly need more Toby books so I have one book per cat.)

I was a little stuck for ideas, so I went with my Alice and her various companions to accompany Toby, including her ever-faithful and ever-cryptic cat. :)

Feed was perhaps a little easier.

Hope I'm not too late! But man was this a lesson in trying to balance things on a purple dinosaur!

My housemate Alexis and I plotted a Toby photo shoot, called Torrey, Katie, Rit, and Jenny and whipped together a day of Toby, May and the Luidaeg!
