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 life got a lot more interesting when it turned out that my power worked both ways. I could make my teammates stronger, or faster, or whatever-er... but when the chips were down, in a superpowered slugfest I probably shouldn't have been in in the first place, I found out that I could also de-hance a superpowered enemy. And believe you me, when a villain who's spent most of his/her career depending on their ability to breathe fire, or turn speeding bullets into marshmallow, or something, suddenly has to depend on their wits and fists, they generally realize the error of their ways pretty darn quickly.
