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!

I am he who knows what you want, and can get it for you, always, if you pay the right price. I am the forgotten toy that enriched your childhood, still in the attic, miraculously unsullied by cobweb or dust, and still thinking of you. I am the shadow that knows what secrets lurk in the hearts of Man. I am the sudden craving that blots out the need for self-importance, for love, for security, even for survival itself. I am the real boy hidden within puppets, and the long dark night of Londo Molari. I can change tears into laughter, and the other way around. Those who die unfulfilled have my name on their lips, and those who die fulfilled see my face clearly for the first time, and say, in wonder, "It was YOU all along!"
You want me on your side.
