Congratulations! Please send me your mailing address via my website contact form (identifying which of our winners you are, since email addresses don't always give it away) to receive your prize! I must receive your information within twenty-four hours, or the prize is forfeit.
Now, the bad. Or well, the confused.
Look, y'all: rules matter. Sometimes they matter because without them you never get your stuff (see the above about sending your mailing info via my website contact form). Sometimes they matter because they're "filter rules"—IE, "are people paying attention to what I ask, or are they just here for the free stuff?" I've been featured on the "this person is giving away free stuff" blogs a couple of times, usually at Hogswatch, and you know what? It sucks. I love giving things to people who care. I hate giving stuff to people who just want it because it's free, or because they think it has good resale value (both things I have been told by folks who found me via the "free stuff here" lists).
So yeah. If the rules say "you must include the word banana," then you must include the word banana, or you cannot win. If the rules say "name your favorite book in the series," then you must name your favorite book, or you cannot win. There were several entries in this most recent giveaway that could not have won, even if the RNG had chosen them, because they did not follow the (very simple) posted rules. (To be clear, the RNG did not pick any of them, so I didn't have to choose between the rules and breaking someone's heart.)
Please, please, follow the posted rules. For everyone's sake, but especially for your own.

(If I had won, I would have purchased the kindle edition, because while I don't want duplicate books I do believe in giving money to my favorite authors. So, y'know, they can keep the lights on. And feed the cats.)

Also, thank you for doing these. It's really awesome (I'm also in the would buy a copy anyway, but reading early is nifty)

And, yeah, people don't read directions or pay attention to rules. I've learned from the Luidaeg that rules are REALLY important to follow. You never know what's at stake.
