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!

Let's see. My superpower is... a total ripoff of Baba Yaga. Used to daydream about using umbrellas and such as flying saucers, see, so basically anything vaguely mortar-shaped, I can pilot it if I have something to be my pestle -- an open umbrella and a furled one, washbasins and long-handled scrubbers, kiddie pools and pool noodles, actual saucers and teaspoons (although those would have to expand to me-size first). I don't get any special breathing/air-retention ability, though, nor an anti-collision shield, so it's best to avoid excessive heights and also flight lanes. And I'm such a computer potato that my limp noodle arms can only work the "pestle" so long -- as long as I'm in the "mortar" and conscious, I can still nudge it wherever, but it barely goes anywhere that way, you know? Gotta put that pestle to use to get good speed.
