RELEASE THE KRAKEN!...giving away an ARC.

Who wants to win an ARC of One Salt Sea? Good. I'm going to make it easy on you, because I'm feeling mellow that way. To enter...

1. Comment on this entry. Be sure you're commenting on the entry, not on someone else's comment; only comments left on the actual entry will be eligible.
2. Tell me one thing you think will happen (or hope will happen) in One Salt Sea. You don't have to be serious! Make something up if it amuses you. I love me some silliness.
3. Wait.

I will choose a winner, using our old friend, Random Number Generator, on Monday, August 1st. So yes, this is a very short contest, and you should get in while the getting is good.

Game on!

I would like to see Toby in the ocean, muttering direly about why the skills she learned as a fish didn't carry over.

Yours is better.

Tybalt and Toby sing karaoke (Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero" of course).

(Seanan, are you only picking US readers? or will you ship internationally?)

Normally I have to do US-only, because international postage is outside my means. Since I didn't specify this time, however, I'll ship anywhere.

Toby will finally give up and have a coffee IV installed!

Hrm... what do I think will happen....

I think Quentin will officially become Toby's squire.

Also, I feel like some sort of resolution or progress will happen on the limbo that Toby and Connor's relationship has been in, but that's pretty vague, so I'll go with the squire thing for my guess.

Nick Fury will recruit Toby for the Avengers.

Hear hear! While Conner saved Toby from drowning once, he mostly just mopes around while Tybalt's had all the glory.

In One Salt Sea the Cait Sidhe will have a war with the infamous gangs of rats whose territories overlap with theirs.

When you're cait your a cait all the way, from your first shadow travel to the last foe you slay...

Sorry - that appears to have forced West Side story lyrics out of me.

Seconded.

I think the Ludag will do something that elevates Connor's status as her descendant. Thus leaving him in the position of being more powerful and also less available to Toby.

i think Tybalt will stop being so broody and start purring more. Why? Because for his birthday Toby will totally buy him a laser pointer and a mouse filled with catnip. :)

ARC? ARC?

I hope Toby's queen gets a pie in the face. Or deposed.

bloolark

I think that Toby will have wild adventures, and undoubtedly complain a great deal about the water and her previous fishy life.

Toby will have a conversation with some mermaids about their likelihood of running into Aquaman

Toby and Tybalt have kittens together, naming the firstborn Sylvester.

Or wait, did I already read that on fanfic.net...

I am 99% convinced there will be a lightsaber fight, and it will be the most epic lightsaber fight known to mankind.

May will discover that she loves clownfish, and Toby will come back to the apartment to find an aquarium.

Toby goes on vacation in Hawaii Australia

booksnyarn

Toby's daughter will show up and strike up a fun auntie/niece friendship with May, which will make Toby jealous.

keristor

I think it tells one of the stories of why the sea became salt, but with a Fae twist. I bet it was Tybalt's fault but he won't admit it (cats never do!).

(I'm happy to pay the postage if you're willing to ship to the UK. Just sayin'...)

Toby squares off against the Spanish Inquisition!

I want someone to be able to change saltwater to port.

Toby will discover that her abilities as a blood worker translate very nicely to salt water (given that blood is also a salty liquid). Although it will be suggested that she should in fact use these newfound powers to reign supreme on the open ocean, she will instead do her research, discover that turning into a gigantic ocean tyrant never helps (see: Disney's "The Little Mermaid") and continue living in her apartment with May, abusing her abilities only to hijack an entire tanker full of the highest quality Columbian coffee beans.

ravenclawed

This! That's an abuse of power I can get behind.

I hope there will be more of Toby and Tybalt. Not very creative - I blame the heat and thunderstorms every night for lack of brain cells.
