On the sixth day of Hogswatch, your Seanan gave away...

...a signed copy of Indexing! Win this awesome tome for yourself, for a friend, or for a local library!

Welcome to the sixth of the Thirteen Days of Hogswatch. I will be starting a new giveaway every day between now and December 13th. Each giveaway will have 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, I am avoiding the post office as much as possible until that other winter holiday is over).

The sixth giveaway is for a signed copy of Indexing. This is going to be a random number drawing, because as you may have noticed, I am running a bit behind. So...

1. To enter, comment on this post.
2. If you are international, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.
3. Name your favorite fairy tale.
4. That's it.

I will choose the winner at 1PM PST on Tuesday, December 13th.

Game on!

ETA: This drawing is now CLOSED.

My favorite fairy tale... Beauty and the Beast, or the Twelve Dancing Princesses, or the Goose Girl, or Mandorlinfiore, or the Wild Swans, or... I can't pick.

i'm one of those weirdos that likes the darker ones; so my (two) favorites are The Juniper Tree and The Girl Without Hands.

My favorite fairytale damn that's a hard one. I'm guessing "queer retellings of any of them" doesn't count. Currently, I'd say my favorite is the Snow Queen, but it changes.

I love Rapunzel. No wait I like Cinderella. No I like Throne of Glass. Wait that's not a fairy tale ... Can I just say all of them?

I live in the US.

Ooh, awesome. I am in the US, and my favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast, probably because of Disney originally, but now because it's so flexible and so easily adapted into cool things.

* eyes light up *

My favorite fairy tale? I think it may well be "The Faerie Queen in the shape of a Frog" ("Folk Tales and Fairy Lore in Gaelic and English: collected from oral tradition" by Rev. James MacDougall (1910) ; p. 270) which despite the title is about the midwife who delivers the Queen's child.

There's no grand plot to it, it's an odd incident that happens to an ordinary woman that is in many elements quite inexplicable, but the cat steed of the courtier delights me.
The steed's name is "Piseag Glas" - Grey Kitten.

I enjoyed this in serial form and loved getting new installments every two weeks. I hope you do some more of these1 My favorite fairy tale is probably Beauty and the Beast (fell in love with the Cocteau movie) and I'm in the U.S. Thanks.

1. Giant robots are fun, but not really practical. Now, domesticated dinosaurs, that's where it's at.
2. I have a U.S. shipping address available.
3. Cinderella. I remember the bloodier version in my elementary school library.
4. There's evidence.

Beauty and the Beast... I think it's because my cousins were obsessed with it and brought it with them whenever they visited. Really got stuck with me.

Awesome!

Not international.

I have an odd fondness for The Juniper Tree, though ask me a different day and I'll likely give a different answer.

Yay indexing! And my most liked fairy tale I can think of is snow queen.

You expect me to pick just ONE favorite fairy tale? I, but, uh. Hrm. Most recently played with is the Children of Lir. I shall choose that.

My granddaughter really needs this one! Too!

When I was little my mom took my brother and me to the library every two weeks. I usually got the same books over and over because I knew I liked them, and if I got a different book I might not like it and then where would I be?

But anyway, some of the books I got over and over were Andrew Lang's "Colored" fairytale book series: Red Book of Fairy Tales, Blue, Violet, Green, Yellow, Pink, Grey, Crimson, Brown, Orange, Olive, and Lilac.

Meaning I have no earthly idea which is my favorite after all these years! Although "Twelve Dancing Princesses" does stick in my mind.
