On the second day of Hogswatch, your Seanan gave away...

...a copy of Velveteen vs. The Multiverse!

Welcome 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!

I can remember where something was last placed, but the memory is stored like a dream, so I have recall what the person, or persons, who put it there was feeling at the time, the emotional impact of the location, the setting, the storing. From that I recall the emotional details of the surroundings and so deduce the location thusly. Obviously, if the person doing it has no emotional footprint, they'd be invisible to this sort of divination.

Additionally, I can see things at a distance, but only if I'm in a waking dream state, too much asleep and I'm dreaming, too much awake and it's gone.

And I know who's on the other end of the phone before I pick it up (or check caller ID) but that's intermittent - probably works 75% of the time.

Not so very super.
