    <content type="html">...a copy of &lt;i&gt;Velveteen vs. The Multiverse&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the second of the Twelve Days of Hogswatch.  I will be starting a new giveaway every day between now and January 6th (the day after my birthday).  Each giveaway will have different rules, and a different deadline, although all prizes will be mailed on January 9th, because I am bad at going to the post office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This giveaway is for a shiny new copy of &lt;i&gt;Velveteen vs. The Multiverse&lt;/i&gt;, the second volume in the adventures of Velma "Velveteen" Martinez, crankiest superheroine this side of the Mississippi.  This is going to be a random number drawing with a twist, because I am silly.  So...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. To enter, comment on this post.&lt;br /&gt;2. If you are international, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.&lt;br /&gt;3. Explain your superpower.  What is it?  How does it work?  What are your strengths and weaknesses?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will choose the winner at 1PM PST on Monday, December 30th, by randomly selecting two heroes and deciding the outcome of a fight.  (Note: "my superpower is I can do anything" means you will inevitably be defeated by Squirrel Girl.  That's what she's for.  Remember that in the Velveteen-verse, cunning and treachery often defeats raw strength.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Game on!</content>
