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 hope we learn that Connor is a more powerful being in his own ocean.

Thank you for opening up these contests!

ARC! ARC! ARC!

I'm really looking froward to this one. In One Salt Sea, I think the Kracken will be released.

Toby scares the entire clientele of a coffee shop with a single caffeine-starved glare. Except for the barrista, who is paralyzed in fear.

I want MORE Tybalt and Connor is a big wuss!

Um, um, um, Toby and Tybalt have hot monkey sex? Yeah, that would be fun!

Toby will have to arm-wrestle a squid to save the day.

Tybalt will somehow manage to end up helping Toby out. He will complain endlessly about getting wet.
Toby's cats will be briefly interested when she gets back, until they discover she forgot to bring fresh fish as a souvenir.

These I can totally see, especially the part about the cats.

I think Tybalt will learn how to play the bagpipes, and Toby will fall madly in love with his kilt wearing self.
(Why yes, I am attending Highland Games this w/e, how did you know?)

(Also, I think Tybalt would totally rock a kilt!)

Yay One Salt Sea!

I hope there is some sort of pet cat analogue in the mermaid country under the sea. Is that anthropomorphic (felinomorphic?) of me? (Yes, yes it is)

One of Tybalt's spells goes horribly wrong and zombie cats start wandering the streets of Albuquerque. Toby ends up making a left turn while looking for a way to quell the uprising.

Wait, though, don't you fall into Warner Bros. cartoons by not taking that left turn at ALbuquerque?

Tybalt will fall into the sea. It will be Toby's fault, or he will certainly blame her at least. Feeling guilty, she will take him back to her place to get dry and warm, and to wash the saltwater out of his clothes. She will come back into the room from throwing his clothes in the laundry, to catch him stretched out on the rug, in nothing but a towel, licking himself clean...

...mayhem will ensue.

I know there will be words, and something will happen, and it'll progress our understanding of the world and the overarching plot, and I totally trust that it'll be everything I hoped, and more.

As for a prediction? Hmm. Shirtless Tybalt.

Do I get bonus points for wearing Toby Daye perfume while posting this comment? I smell like hot pennies left in a meadow on a hot summer day.

Hmmm... Toby gets turned into a cat, by magical means, and spends the day running around San Francisco with Tybalt. Once non-cat again,(can't really say "human," can I?), the only thing she has to say about it is... "Thank ghods I never have to lick myself clean again." Tybalt's smart enough not to offer. *grin*

(And eeee! Very much looking forward to One Salt Sea!)

Well, you already have selkie.

October can't come fast enough?

Hmmmmmmmm. I think that Toby and Tybalt are going to ditch their respective responsibilities, run away, and live happily ever after, stunning everyone, including their author.

Tybalt and Connor will have some kind of testosterone-charged stand off, during which Toby will have to distract Tybalt with catnip :D

A mermaid will dance in a wheelchair.

I don't want anyone I like to die. But I'm pretty sure this is an impossibility. :p

Errr... in the realm of possible, maybe more stuff happens in Berkeley!

I think Toby's car is going to end up under the ocean to get destroyed in new, saltier, wetter ways!

I hope we get to see more of May and her girlfriend. I'd also hope to see Mermaid!Toby spend some time being lugged around in a bathtub on wheels or something equally silly.

Is there coffee under the sea? I'm not sure we want to see Toby in action if there's no coffee under the sea ;)

I will say this... I had a dream the other night that I was in a bookstore and found One Salt Sea on the shelf. I was really excited because I knew it wasn't supposed to be out for ages. There was book-hugging.

And then I woke up. And was disappointed ALL DAY.

In the "things that would be silly but amusing" department: if not in One Salt Sea, then at some point Toby really should attend San Diego Comic Con. Because crowds that large would annoy her immensely, but somebody totally needs her to do it in order to save Faerie from the latest Evil Menace From The Past....

Toby will most likely wreck a car...and possibly kiss Tybalt some more!
