chipperUnderstandably, 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!

I dearly would enjoy your benevolence in this instance of chance because I have a bit of a crush on Tybalt. Ok, you know me so well, I have a huge and everlasting gobstopper of a crush on Tybalt and would so very much like to
pet and stroke and loveread his story Rat Catcher and have it for my very own. You know that I have moved recently to my homelandstate of Wyoming where I am now taking care of a rather large collection of stray and feral cats of several stripes and types. I know that the ancient Egyptians worshipped the cats as Diety and that the cats remember this and I try to treat them accordingly. I pet the ones who will allow me and respect the ones who shy away in distrust, hoping always that they will grace me with their favour. I make great efforts to tame the little ones so that I might find them safe and loving foreverhomes, but the circle of life is rampant in the hinterlands of the Rocky Mountains and I don't always get to keep them long enough to do this. It makes me sad to find them, or not find them at all after Natural Selection has had its way. Please capricious one, find it in your throw to give me the comfort you have always afforded me.I am, as ever, your loyal and loving servant in Constant Change,

All true. I moved home to Wyoming in the back of beyond where cats congregate at our house after getting dumped at the stop sign down the road. By the time they get to us they are usually so traumatized that we rarely catch them, so we just feed them. Little ones are born and we love them and catch them to tame as we can with the hope we can find homes for them. I also played a very long D&D campaign with a group of friends a few years ago in which my character became a priestess of Olidamarra and the funny thing was that I started rolling better scores and we always envisioned Him as Elvis. My then-roommate and I went on vacation and stopped in a casino in Reno and I played a penny Elvis slot machine and kept calling to Olidamarra to bless me and I won $600. My then-roommie was ALSO in that campaign and the look on his face was priceless. I told him we had to leave the casino while we were ahead so as not to break the luck we'd been handed. We played a couple machines on our way out the door and damned if we didn't keep winning that night. So really, this is an actual plea and I am not at all certain I am faking it. *grin* The power of the throw is always changing its balance, after all. My flavour of Pagan allows for Diety to present Self in whatever way is best in the moment. So yeah, let the dice fall.
Brightest Blessings
