So, if you know Marty or myself, you might know that I developed a game line called Hunter: The Vigil, and that Marty did some writing for that game line.
And maybe you’re saying to yourself, “Man, I’d love some sweet Hunter: The Vigil swag. Like, maybe a free book. I’d put the book on the floor, and I’d just roll all over it, absorbing all of its brilliance into my body, forging me into a complete being who is at one with the universe.”
Let’s try to make that happen.
Here’s how this contest is going to work.
Go to Twitter. All the cool kids are on Twitter these days, which is sure to be true for another three weeks or so, at which point all the cool kids will be on some new thing called Smackcircle, or Meta-bat, or maybe Jellyhole. (I’m user “KendraShieldsFan90983871″ on Meta-bat!)
If you don’t currently use Twitter, you’ll need to sign up for it.
Once all a-Twittered, send a tweet.
That tweet needs to include two things.
First, a link to The Storyverse website: www.thestoryverse.com (this link can be shortened, just make sure it takes people to this website).
Second, the hash-tag, #shadowstories.
Include those two things, and it doesn’t matter what the rest of the tweet says. (Example: Hey! Free cupcakes and donkey sex at http://www.thestoryverse.com #shadowstories You Guys Suck!)
Do this between 12:00 AM and 11:59PM on 7/29/09 (Wed). Tweets outside this range won’t be counted, though we’ll still appreciate the publicity.
One time only, please. Multiple tweets won’t be counted, so don’t spam your pals, lest they bury a camping hatchet in your tender head-meats.
The following day, we’ll pick a random winner out of a hat, and we’ll DM (direct message) the winner.
The winner will have the choice to take home one of two Hunter: The Vigil supplements: Night Stalkers or Spirit Slayers.
For free, of course. We pay shipping and handling. And fondling. Anywhere in the world. If you’re on a research station in Antarctica, we’ll strap the book to a narwhal’s horn and get it there.
We’ll even autograph it, if you want us to devalue your book!
If you like this contest, please let other people know. Alternately, if you hate this contest, please simmer quietly in your own surly broth, at least until 7/30/09.
(Don’t forget to check out the new FAQ that will enlighten, amuse, and/or disturb.)
Questions? Slap ‘em here in comments, or Tweet us (the little blue bird up in the right corner of your screen). Sure, there’s probably some manner of legalese we should mention, but I don’t speak legalese. So, instead, we simply say: Good luck, and don’t forget to check out Chapter 1: The Pirate Ship tomorrow, 7/29/09, here at Storytime on the Story Channel at the Storyverse.
