Can't tell a verb from a noun, they're the nicest kids in town.

Who wants an ARC of Discount Armageddon? No, really: who really wants it?

For this giveaway, we're going to mix and match effort with laziness. Comment on this entry with why you—yes, you—should receive an ARC of the first InCryptid adventure. Be creative. Be insane. Whatever makes you happy. On Friday, at noon PST, I will use our friend the Random Number Generator to select a winner. I will then read through the entries and select my favorite as a second winner. Yes, it's totally arbitrary. But it's also stated right up front, so I don't feel bad.

This contest is open to all North American residents without any restrictions, and to non-North American residents who either a) have a North American mailing address or b) are willing to pay me postage. I do apologize for that, it's just that I can't afford to ship a lot of stuff overseas right now. And now...

Game on!

Because I just realized that I have to buy your Mira Grant books, so I might not have the funds to by Discount Armageddon!

Because its too long to wait for the next Toby and Newsflesh books, because I will probably buy a copy anyways so that I can push it at my friends like some sort of literary drug, and because the actual publish date is the due date for my kid and reading while in labor is hard?

But mostly because finding new series that I adore is love.

Because I'm a nice guy and won't post a link to the MLP:TPoF colored fleshlights, and really, I should know better than to click on lj-cuts like that, shouldn't I?

Okay, I know what MLP:TPoF stands for, but what are fleshlights? I'm not sure I dare google that.

Cryptic cryptid cryogenics. Can't tell you any more.

Because I am serving tasty pastries, that's why.

Because sooner or later, I will turn your name into a verb. You'll want input into that process.

Because my miniature schnauzer has a habit of licking book covers as I read them, and he insists that yours are the most delicious.

Because Aeslin Mice are my spirit animal!

I should get the ARC because I just started my second semester ofsecret spy training graduate school and I'm gonna need something awesome to read to help me get through the subway rides.

Or I need it because it's the final component in my doomsday device and my deadline to take over the world is February or else I fail evil genius school.

Either or.

To read the new InCryptid book outloud to my resident Chupacabra, so he knows what is really going on in the world outside. He thinks its amusing that they dont know how small goatsuckers are, and the other misinformation that is being touted about.

I. Mus. Have. This ARC. There is nothing you've written that I've been able to put down once I've started. I look forward every day to your tweets because I have run out of your books to read. You must feed me more words!

les121

Because I will 1)read it 2)love it 3)hound my friends relentlessly until they buy the book and read it 4)use the book as my only source of comfort after my friends file restraining orders against me for relentlessly hounding them

If you haven't seen the My little pony/Firefly crossover vid you probably should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P3HHpf-fZY&feature=share&fb_source=message

This makes me happy.

Because Sharkbanana says, "Give Mark the ARC", and you should always listen to Sharkbanana.

Because I live in Switzerland and won't be able to lay my hands on a physical copy for months (and months), plus e-books are region-restricted so I have no way to read it!

I would love to win a copy of Discount Armageddon. Every dose of Seanans new fiction helps make me happy and prepare me for the day that she releases her dinosaur army and takes over the world. New books are as sweet as cupcakes and as heavenly as the scent of burning pumpkins.
Also, I submit the knowledge that whether or not I win, I stand by with my "My Little Pony" army ready to help ignite the biosphere when that day comes.

I need a copy of Discount Armageddon because it's the third to last step in my foolproof plan for world domination.

1. Acquire an evil cat
2. Watch too much Psych and Castle
3. Clone velociraptors
4. Acquire ARC of Discount Armageddon
5. ????
6. Profit!

Because as a librarian I can put the ARC to good use by reading it, then telling all my coworkers, then making them read it, then telling all our patrons, then making them read it... just like I did when I discovered Rosemary and Rue.

Also because it's the least you can do after going to Disney and not inviting me.

And because I really really want it.

jslinder

Because I used to run literary cons and still have not fully recovered.

evaleastaristev

Because my cats would like me to spend that money on gooshy, not books.

Because I just might go insane if I have to wait until March. And not in the pretty way.

Because it's awesome, I already know this, and I WANT IT BADLY!

*looks pitiful*

ravenrose

January 11 2012, 20:59:27 UTC 5 years ago

Because I cannot afford an Armageddon at MSRP.
I am the 99%.

vr_trakowski

January 11 2012, 20:59:51 UTC 5 years ago

Because if I get one, I will help you ignite the biosphere. *accelerants at the ready*

sffilk

Because I would then add it to the Interfilk auction at GaFilk 2013. Your ARCs make for good money for filkdom's favorite charity.

stagemanager

Because I am more in love with Manhattan than anything else. I would love to see what you did with it.

That is all.
