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!

My superpower is worry. I can (and will) worry about every. Little. Thing. The check I mailed hasn't been cashed yet? Probably stolen, I should call my bank and have a hold put on it. Friend not answering my text? T-Mobile probably ate it and I should send them six more just in case. That weird rumbling noise? Probably a giant robot crashing through the next town over.

Weaknesses: Most of the time, I don't actually need to worry about whatever it is I'm worrying about, so I waste a lot of time and energy that way. Fortunately the law of averages is on my side so EVENTUALLY I'm going to be right about that giant robot and I'll end up saving the world. The rest of the time, though, it's pretty easy to distract me just by giving me something mundane to agonize over.
