RNG should pick me so I can give it to my friend who also loves to read the books - theyd flip out!

In the US

Dear RNG,

I am international (Aussie) but *very* willing to pay postage. I adore the InCryptid books.

Hi!

Dear RNG, I have a sack full of dice dedicated to your whims, and hope this shall persuade you to look kindly on me.

Dear RNG,

Please choose me because I have been super stressed and reading great fantasy is my only escape from...the horrors of adulting.

I'm in the UK, more than happy to pay postage.

RNG -- I should win because I will read it in one day and then share it with all my friends who will greedily devour it and then buy it when it comes out anyway.

I live in the US. And would be willing to pay postage.

I should win because we are awesome!

Dearest RNG,

I hope to win because my depression is creeping along the edges, despite my current dose having worked for several months. The diagnosis keeps changing for my chronic hip pain and the doctor told me to stop my PT so I could start a fibromyalgia specific PT which has a four hour first visit and the first opening is the end of March. The Doctor also insisted I try a weight loss program. Which is stressing me out because of the aforementioned chronic hip pain. So RNG I could use a win about now.

Behold my comment of adequacy!
The Great and Terrible Random Number Generator should pick me because I am neither great nor random, and will therefore never be true competition. And if I win the book, I'll also be distracted anyway.
I live here in the USA.
I volunteer to pay postage anyway.

I should win because I never win anything and I lurve Annie and can't wait to have a whole book from her POV!

In US, can pay postage. 😀

I should win because I haven't won anything yet this year.

Maddie Salter

Dearest RNG,
I am a poor postal worker in GA. Do I deserve to win? Probably not. But I am a grateful fan. Last year, I was bedridden: first by a severe sprain (a near break) of the ankle and second by walking pneumonia. Books are how I made it through. And I went through all the books I have. Twice. I need new books! Please!
Did I mention I'm in the US?

Dear RNG,

The publishing schedule is unkind. It releases _Magic for Nothing_ on the same day as _Etched in Bone_ by Anne Bishop and _Silence Fallen_ by Patricia Briggs. How am I supposed to read all three books in one day. I can do two, but not three. If I could read _Magic for Nothing_ early then I can maintain my health and get some sleep and maybe even get some work done too.

Sincerely,
Me

3. California
4. Still willing to pay postage if it will help

My comment is that I think it's great that you do this every so often. It's just fun. I should be chosen because I'm old, and who knows how much longer I have to win things :), :). (Years, I hope). Been reading SF and fantasy since I was 9 and then you could count the major players on one hand. Now I can't keep up with all the new authors but what an exhilarating upward curve!

1. Comment here.
Done
2. Tell the RNG why you should win.
Because I'm completely out of creativity because i'm doing technical QC on a Sunday morning on vacation and therefore can't give a good reason.
3. Indicate if you are international, and if so,
nope
4. Indicate your willingness to pay postage.
N/A - though I totally would

1. Watch out, he's got a spoon.
2. It will make me feel good.
3. I have a U.S. shipping address available.
4. I am willing to pay postage.

Dear RNG, I am sitting here with my leg elevated because of a torn meniscus and I need something new and good to read.

Dear RNG & Seanan,

I'd very much like to win. I know the odds are against it, but I still have hope. :) Also, as I I noticed that the RNG gets 2 out of 3 picks, and the other is Seanan's whim, I'd also like to point out that I'll be happy to deliver diet dr pepper and homemade cookies/brownies whenever you're next within a couple hundred miles of my location. Which, to satisfy the last part of the requirement, is in the US (near DC), and postage would be fine despite my domestic location.

Dear RNG - You seem to hate me on general principle. Therefore, you should prove me wrong.

I would like to win a copy because ... I'm a huge fan. I know this applies to almost everyone here, but, your books aren't just fun for me. They are characters who I have grown up with and who have to a certain extent shaped me into who I am today.

I found your books the year Discount Armageddon came out. I was 11, and I loved Verity. Her self confidence, the way she carried herself, it was who I wanted to be when I grew up. Then the books kept coming. And I kept identifying with the characters you created. Alex's cute awkwardness, his academic interests, Sarah's hilarious love affair with Math, all of it touched me. But then you wrote more about Antimony, and then you wrote short stories from her POV.
Antimony is me. The only confused soul in a family that knows what they are doing. The one who feels left out, who feels jealous of everyone else, and feels guilty for feeling jealous. The one on the outside looking in.
I would love to win the ARC of the books from Antimony's POV not only because I identify with her, but because she gives me perspective. And come on let's face it. She's a trap setting, roller derby skating, former cheerleader, youngest Price. Who wouldnt love her?

I live in the US
