geekyThis is the first giveaway. It is open to all, with the caveat that if you are outside the United States, you must be willing to pay postage if you win. I am sorry about that, but I can't afford international postage right now. If that's cool with you, yay! If it's not, I really am sorry, and hopefully will win the lottery soon.
To enter, leave a comment with your location (US/non-US), and what super power you would have if you lived in Velveteen's universe. Winners will be selected via random number generator, BUT! If you don't include everything above, you cannot win.
I will randomly select a winner on Sunday, November 18th, so that I can mail the book before Thanksgiving.
Good luck! Game on!

non-US (Canada), ability to influence subconscious thoughts through music, utterly willing to pay postage

My superpower would be perfect recall, there are any number of times in my life where I wished I could remember something I had read somewhere, or something I heard somewhere, perfectly. (That or Mary Poppins like cleaning powers.. *sigh*)

I'd like to be a teleporter.
November 15 2012, 13:20:41 UTC 4 years ago
Super power: gravity manipulation.

Hmmm, ability to turn a book into any book ever written, even if it was never published, whenever I want to.
November 15 2012, 13:51:40 UTC 4 years ago
and I want the ability to stretch time ... a couple extra hours in the day would be so awesome, and it would be very tempting to abuse it by getting a full night's sleep.
November 15 2012, 14:12:41 UTC 4 years ago
The ability to make real the things I crochet. I could be the Happy Hooker ;-)

Reading the comments there are some GREAT superpowers being suggested - I am totally onboard with the superpower of always detecting and connecting to wifi networks. Very convenient.
I would also like the minor superpower of Clean Laundry - where I could touch an article of clothing and it would instantly be clean and appropriately pressed.

Given that I am perpetually cold, especially my hands, I've always imagined I'd have a water freezing/ice control power. (Done, I know, but it still seems the most fitting.) I mean, I've already had people use my hands to stave off heat stroke in real life, so it wouldn't be a huge leap!

My ability would be akin to The Key from The Lost Room. It would be the ability to cause any door to be a door into a nice little room, outside of time and space, and to have the door to the room be any door I know about. Not only instant teleportation, but a comfy safe place I could go to to rest or have time to myself without taking time away from any of my other responsibiltys
November 15 2012, 16:56:48 UTC 4 years ago
I'd be able to protect animals from humans!

My SuperPower: Being able to fix anything or anyone with a swipe of my hand.
November 15 2012, 18:03:36 UTC 4 years ago
I would be able to pack and awe-inspiring amount of stuff into an impossibly small amount of space. No squishing allowed.

I think Teleportation

November 15 2012, 21:07:20 UTC 4 years ago
And my power would be to find all lost things
November 15 2012, 21:12:32 UTC 4 years ago
I would have the ability to enhance... or dehance, mwah ha ha... anybody else's superpower. I could- temporarily, alas- turn a mid-to-low power into an A-lister, or a Big Bad into a mere mortal. Marketing would probably have me chained up in a closet.

I would WANT telekinesis, but I suspect I would end up with empathy (ala Talia from the Valdemar books). And not even cool empathy that can mess with other people's emotions--just receptive empathy. I really really hope I have good mental walls in that universe . . .
November 15 2012, 22:56:52 UTC 4 years ago
The power to quietly raise the IQ of everyone around me by 20 points. This power also lets me fly, because.
November 15 2012, 23:17:39 UTC 4 years ago
My superpower would be to fly
