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 am allergy girl! I can make enemies have horrible allergic reactions to everything from their clothes to shampoo, hand soap, and sunscreen! Horrible rashes and swelling ensue! If I'm really ticked off, I can make them sneeze and wheeze with dog dander, mold spores, and weed dust. Unfortunately, my weakness is mild symptoms of allergies I inflict on others for a few days. It's not so bad if it's just one or two things, but a big bad or a gang can compound pretty quickly, and antihistimines waken my powers so I won't take anything. Luckily I'm so used to the misery that I can take much more than my enemies usually can. A little rash from clothes detergent and a fight is usually called off due to massive itching.
