chipperWelcome to the second of the Twelve Days of Hogswatch. I will be starting a new giveaway every day between now and January 6th (the day after my birthday). Each giveaway will have different rules, and a different deadline, although all prizes will be mailed on January 9th, because I am bad at going to the post office.
This giveaway is for a shiny new copy of Velveteen vs. The Multiverse, the second volume in the adventures of Velma "Velveteen" Martinez, crankiest superheroine this side of the Mississippi. This is going to be a random number drawing with a twist, because I am silly. So...
1. To enter, comment on this post.
2. If you are international, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.
3. Explain your superpower. What is it? How does it work? What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I will choose the winner at 1PM PST on Monday, December 30th, by randomly selecting two heroes and deciding the outcome of a fight. (Note: "my superpower is I can do anything" means you will inevitably be defeated by Squirrel Girl. That's what she's for. Remember that in the Velveteen-verse, cunning and treachery often defeats raw strength.)
Game on!

My superpower is an eidetic memory: I can perfectly recall anything I read/see/hear/smell/etc. The strengths mean that, should I desire to Fight Evil, a bit (or a lot) of homework means I know exactly how everyone else's power works, and any known secret weaknesses. The weaknesses are... well, do you really want to remember all the times you got the crap kicked out of you perfectly? That and it means spending long hours in the library/at the computer as prep work, possibly with a technopath who owes you favors to break encryptions and paywalls.
It's kind of a superpower that works better when giving the information to someone with more ass-kicking power and less aversion to pain, while you sit with a radio and cameras and advise.
