quixoticWelcome to the last of the Thirteen Days of Hogswatch. Each giveaway in this year's extravaganza has come with different rules and a different deadline, although all prizes will be mailed on December 30th, because I am bad at going to the post office (and also, avoiding the post office until that other winter holiday is over).
The thirteenth, and last, giveaway is for a MYSTERY ITEM of some kind. What will it be? No one knows! Not even me. This is going to be a random number drawing, because why I said so. So...
1. To enter, comment on this post.
2. If you are international, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.
3. Tell me one thing you hope the prize is. (ETA: Please only ask for things I might actually have. I can't give you a new job or world peace. I wish I could.)
4. Tell me one thing you hope the prize is not.
5. Tell me why the RNG should pick you.
I will choose the winner at 1PM PST on Sunday, December 20th.
Game on!

I hope the prize is a copy of Indexing: Reflections because I cannot wait to read it. I know that the serial version is out there, but there's just nothing like a physical book. I read screens all day at work. I want paper for my fun reading.
What do I hope the prize isn't...a live lizard. While I don't mind reptiles at all, my cat would have a fit.
I think that the RNG should pick me because...well, I could use the pick-me-up, but really, I hope it picks me because you're my favorite author and it would be awesome to get a book straight from you. I love reading everything that you write, and I would be very grateful if I was chosen. Even if it doesn't pick me, I think this is a really cool thing to do, and I thank you for spreading some joy around.
