SQT: I was actually trying to come up with a contest that people could enter without having already read the books. So seriously, no knowledge of the books required.

And thanks for spreading the word! (You know, if you need review copies for Fantasy & Sci-fi Lovin’ Book Reviews, I’m sure that can be arranged too…)

Oh hell. I gotta think of a blurb on a book I haven’t read? I’m just not that imaginative.

Great contest though. I came here by Fantasy Book Critic. I will defnitely spread the word.

Email notifications are alright, but they’re problematical for very active discussions, and can also be more complicated when you decide to stop following up sometime in the future.
Then again, whatever makes people happy…

I guess there are less people who think comment feeds are convenient than I thought there were.

May be that they all use the “Notify me if anyone else comments on this article” feature now. It seems like just about everyone who comments checks that box now.

Oops… fixed.

I actually liked the idea of a two years long competition, it somehow appealed to my sense of humor (Not to mention giving me a potential small hope of a chance to move to the US and become eligible for participation. Then again, buying even all of the remaining books would still cost much less than the plane ticket and mailbox.)

The new site’s been up for a couple months now, and I had no idea that was broken. Should be fixed now.

Err… Next time June 6 falls on a Sunday will be in 2010.

Off-topic, but your per-post comment feed links seem to be broken. The poor thing tries to encode a second anchor tag inside the main one.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. The new site’s been up for a couple months now, and I had no idea that was broken. Should be fixed now.

The feed itself works fine, it’s just the link from the posts’ pages which are bad.

(Wasn’t there a similar problem sometime in the past here? My memory is just as bad as it used to be, apparently, so I’m not sure)

Err… Next time June 6 falls on a Sunday will be in 2010. So maybe you can manage to squeeze the third book of the trilogy in as well? Or at least an early ARC, if you plan to take your time finishing it? I’m sure the winners will appreciate the complete trilogy.

In the meantime, I need to cancel my order of MultiReal. If Jar Jar likes it, then something has to be seriously wrong with it…
