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!

Just because you're going with me doesn't exclude you from entering, my lovely. ;) I'll just save on postage.

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've been busy. :P 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

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). :P

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

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.

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. :dieshappy:

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. :D Thanks for running it.
