It's time to hit the floor for one more dance.: seanan

It's time to hit the floor for one more dance.

It's time for a Chaos Choreography giveaway! Hooray! This giveaway is going to be US addresses only; I'm still mailing Hogswatch prizes and other such items, and my post office workers are starting to mysteriously go on break when I show up, because of all the international packages. I know it's not fair, but I can't add more customs forms to the pile or they're going to close completely.

I will do open-to-international giveaways before the book is released, and I'm hoping to clear out more of the pending packages in the next week or so.

So, the rules for this one:

1. Leave a comment.
2. Indicate that you have a US address I can ship to. (You don't have to live in the US. You just have to have a US address.)
3. Name your favorite cryptid and why.

I will use the RNG to choose three winners on Tuesday, January 26th. But there's a twist! Only one person can win for each cryptid. So be honest! Name your favorite! Just be aware that the odds are lower for the Aeslin mice than for, say, the swamp bromeliads.

The field guide is here, if you need some help.

Game on!

I have a US address! And my favorite cryptids - SO FAR - are the tanuki. I love how much we've learned about their culture in the short stories, and I want to know more!

I do indeed have a US address! And favorite cryptid would be the dragon princesses...I love species that exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism, and it's the best explanation I've ever heard for the mythic tendency of dragons to continually grab beautiful young women.

Screaming yams! Because in my eccentric little mind, all veggies scream when you attack them, but screaming yams are the only ones I know of that can run away. Besides, burrowing up your pant legs to try to escape -- how cute is that?! (I have a US address, and this is a comment.)

US Address
Favorite: Fricken -- just like the name

I am located in the US.

My favorite cryptid is the Church Griffin!
Because what's better than the combined intelligence/chaos of a cat/raven hybrid? Many things, probably, if you want your house intact, but still. They're so damn cute!

I have a U.S. address.
My favorite cryptids are the tanuki. They have pleasant personalities and an adorable raccoon dog form but are still capable of protecting themselves in "combat-ready shape."

1. Posting!

2. Still in Oregon, where there is a now-rather-sad-looking snowman in the front yard of the complex.

3. The screaming yam, because I suspect it tastes just as good with marshmallows baked on top as the other kind.

I have a US address. My favorite cryptid is the Madhura because I also love sweet things.

1. Hi!
2. Yes!
3. I'm intrigued by the North American Questing Beast, because I like cougars, and quests, and would love to know how it got its name. (I'd also like to know more about Fern from "Blocked" but I don't know what species she is.)

My favorite cryptid is a toss-up between the Waheela and the Aselin mice, though the mice are in the lead.

I live in the US and hope the RNG shows me favor this time... Also wishing you a happy birthday, may it be filled with no stress and lots of joy

Comment officially left.

US address indeed!

Favorite: I know this makes my chances of winnning likely reduce, but it's all about the Aeslin mice. Hail! I desperately want my own colony of Aeslin mice... although I'm not sure how my cats would get along with them.

I do have a US shipping address.

picking a favorite is hard but since I live near the great lakes I'm going to go with Mishigamaa plus its really fun to say.

I'm in the US and my favorite changes frequently because there are so many awesome ones but today I'm going with the cactus cats!

I'm in the US and happy to pay postage if needed. Favorite cryptids are the Oreads because it would be the most awesome thing ever to be able to break unwelcome fingers without having to explain why.

My favorite is the Yowie. Most Australian name ever.

Yes, I have a US address.

My favorite Cryptid right now are the Aeslin Mice, they are hilarious and so very original!

Safe and simple US address!

(I just know I'm going to end up wishing I'd lied and claimed swamp bromeliads...) My favorite cryptid is the madhura, mostly because Piyusha was just plain nice, but also because how can you dislike anyone smelling of honey and gingerbread? Plus, retarding food spoilage throughout the neighborhood just entirely fails to suck!

1. Leaving a comment, and while I'm at it, yay more InCryptid books!
2. I do indeed have a US postal address.
3. Honestly, I really liked the madhura characters from Discount Armageddon. Yes, I love Aeslin mice too - everyone loves the mice - but Gingerbread Pudding, the brothers, and their sister really stuck with me, as did the description of their apartment. I'd love to see one or more madhura turn up in another book and learn more about their species.

Mmmm, gingerbread...
