Dual ARC giveaway.: seanan

Dual ARC giveaway.

In addition to the much-vaunted (and very pretty) Ashes of Honor ARCs, I currently have ARCs for two, yes two different Subterranean Press books. One, A Fantasy Medley 2, contains the first-ever Tybalt-centric novella, "Rat-Catcher," which explains how he first came to be a King of Cats, the origins of his name, and why, when pressed, he sometimes introduces himself to humans as "Rand Stratford." The other, When Will You Rise?, is a collection of two Mira Grant short pieces that have not previously been published in physical form. Both will be coming out this fall, as gorgeous, limited edition volumes.

Understandably, these are even more limited than normal ARCs. But they're worth the read (and the finished books...hoo, nelly). So what's a girl to do?

Give some stuff away, naturally. Specifically, one copy of each Subterranean Press ARC.

This particular giveaway is open to US residents or to non-US residents who feel like paying postage. I'm very sorry about the restriction, there, but I'm in the middle of convention season, and I don't have the spare dollars right now. To enter...

1. Comment with which book you'd like to win, and why.
2. Give your best plea to the Random Number Generator.
3. If you're a non-US resident, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.

I will use the RNG to choose three potential winners for each book, and then choose the plea I like best. Yes, that makes it a little arbitrary, but only a little. Winners will be selected on Wednesday, August 8th, at noon PST. The usual twenty-four hour window will then apply.

Game on!

ETA: Guys, don't tell me why you want to win/why you should win; tell the RNG why you, above all others, are the predestined owner of the book. I want you to bribe the random number generator like a corrupt politician. Have fun! Don't just tell me "because I want it." If you didn't, you wouldn't be here!

And Saint Attila raised Ashes of Honor up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy arc, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats ..."

RNG, I have many enemies that need to be blown to bits, so I would love the Ashes of Honor arc.

I would adore a copy of Fantasy Medley 2, because how can anyone not want more Tybalt?

Oh random number generator, please pick me! I promise I will pass the love to the random number generator at work. It is because of that generator that I know how lonely the life of a random number generator can be.

US resident, here.

Is this one still open.

I am curious about the FANTASY MEDLEY 2, am from Germany and of course willing to pay for postage.

Please RNG choose me, because this could help me find the way to the former court of cats in London, where I will travel in autumn.
Plus, maybe Tybalt makes out with Shakespear, and wouldn't that be drama ,-) (and hot)?

Dear Random Number Generator,
I am meant to have the Fantasy Medley 2 book since Tybalt would fit in very well with the 3 kitties living here (haven't been able to get the 3rd one into a picture with the other 2 where all 3 would be visible at icon size). Plus, he's dreamy.
Sincerely,
Mel (in the US)

Dear Random Number Generator,

If you give me a copy of Fantasy Medley 2, I will give you a pony or a zombie sock pony, your choice!

Love,

Jammies

1. Ashes of Honor. Must have.
2. All hail XOM, lord of chaos, known also as the RNG, for he doth judge our lives, and pass sentence so that our lives may be more interesting, for the most abhorrent thing in XOM, known also the as the RNG,'s eyes is boredom. And lo, this book shall make me squee, and bounce, and then whimper and ask "why! WHY would you have done this to poor Toby!", and XOM, known also as the RNG, will be amused for a few picoseconds.
