My first giveaway!

Ok, please somebody tell me if this is the wrong place, because I don't frequent GD much, but I thought y'all might want to know. In honor of my attendance to the Realm Makers fantasy writers' conference, I'm holding a giveaway of the keynote speaker, Jeff Gerke's, book Plot versus Character. It's a writing contest, too - hint hint!

Please enter!

*squeals at the mention of the conference *

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2013, 7:50 pm

Just because you're going with me doesn't exclude you from entering, my lovely.

I'll just save on postage.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2013, 8:14 pm

*chuckles * Well... I might should enter...

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

I hope to enter.

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2013, 8:53 am

Yessss!

Maybe, depending on how busy the conference is...I could even get it signed for you.

Jakorosin Darksbane · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2013, 10:31 am

I shall probably be entering. (wrote the first story last night

).

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2013, 2:48 pm

The conference sounds like a ton of fun. Good luck surviving amidst so much awesomeness.

Oy, these pictures are gorgeous. Mayhaps I'll enter...

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2013, 2:49 pm

*huge grin* Sweeeeeeet!

Mistress Kidh · **Posted:** June 4th, 2013, 12:28 pm

We already have that book, so it wouldn't really be any use for me to enter...

...but I guess I will anyway. * sheepish * I just want to. 'Cause.

I'm in! I hope. XD

*is interested*

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** June 24th, 2013, 3:37 pm

Just a reminder that there are five weeks left to go.

I haven't received any entries yet. Don't make me poke you.

Cain · **Joined:** September 4th, 2012, 9:21 am **Posts:** 1755

I've been busy.

And I can't speak for others, but I'm trying to write five stories and send them all at once, hence the reason I've not sent any to you yet. XD

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** June 24th, 2013, 4:06 pm

I was going to enter (even started a story), but I had to stop working on it when other things added to my to-do list (most notably getting recruited for Katie's Thing).

Mistress Kidh · **Posted:** June 25th, 2013, 10:50 am

I'm working on one a bit, but I recently got stuck, so who knows if I'll even finish it.

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

I've finished one story, and I might try writing more.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** June 25th, 2013, 8:30 pm

*raises hand* I want to try this! E, you may have to hound me though.

You do have my email... O.o

But you still have five weeks! Uhh...four weeks and six days?

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** June 27th, 2013, 2:05 am

Sorry. Even after my immediate-deadline projects have been completed, I have several other projects for this summer that need to take priority.

Cain · **Joined:** September 4th, 2012, 9:21 am **Posts:** 1755

I'm still working on it, E.

Don't worry, I promise to submit at least one story by the deadline.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** June 27th, 2013, 9:18 pm

*is working on hers like a good little Shawnie, lest E borrow her mother's electical tape and peanut butter*

Riniel Jasmina · **Posted:** June 28th, 2013, 12:47 am

*finishes*

*sends*

I had too much fun writing that story.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** June 28th, 2013, 5:46 pm

Mine is sent in! We'll see if I get another submitted...

Lady Vilisse Mimetes · **Posted:** June 28th, 2013, 11:31 pm

Hey! Look! I had time to write an entry

*bounces*

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** June 29th, 2013, 9:55 am

Eeep!

And if anyone wants reference, I now have an official giveaway post without the clutter.

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** July 12th, 2013, 12:27 pm

I now have 7 entries total. There are still three weeks left to enter.

Cain · **Joined:** September 4th, 2012, 9:21 am **Posts:** 1755

Hoo boy. I'll definitely keep trying to get a story done. I've got so much schoolwork though, I probably won't manage to get five done like I had hoped... *sighs*

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** July 27th, 2013, 10:47 am

I have 13 entries so far. Jonathan, Renna, Roager, all of you said you might enter and haven't yet. Yes? Yes?

Cain · **Joined:** September 4th, 2012, 9:21 am **Posts:** 1755

I'm going to return with my lame excuses and apologize for having been sick all this week, having an insane load of school, and dealing with... let's just call it some very annoying drama. I'll turn in the one story I have so far, if you can call it a story... it's more of a letter or journal entry written by a character, but it is based off of one of your pictures, so... if it's valid, I'll do that. I'll keep trying to get another short story done too.

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

I'll be sending a story soon.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** August 8th, 2013, 11:06 am

*can't wait to see the announcement post*

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** August 8th, 2013, 12:04 pm

I have a fantastic 28 entries and the post will be coming soon.

Two updates:

I will be publishing not three, not four, but eight entries. There were just so many fantastic ones that it was a shame not to publish some of them.

The prize book is now signed by the author.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** August 8th, 2013, 12:42 pm

Ooooh.

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** August 23rd, 2013, 3:23 pm

Well my lands, I forgot to post the announcements.

First place: J. Grace Pennington!
Second place: Lady Kitra Skene!
I'll be publishing Celestria's third place next week.

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** August 23rd, 2013, 4:14 pm

Many congratulations, Grace, Rin and Celestria!

I've heard a lot about this giveaway during the time you ran it, E! It was a popular contest.

Thanks for running it.

My first giveaway!
