Contest No. 11: Ends Fri., June 19, 2009 @ 9:00 AM CDT (GMT minus 5)
This contest is complete. "madam_minnie" and "jilly_mac" are the winners!
All entries were wonderful, but I will be going with a combination of the suggestions from the two winners! Thank
you to all for playing!
On Wednesday, July 8th I'll be hosting Torquere's Livejournal Social to celebrate the release of Another Dream on that same day. I'll be running a contest on that day to win a copy of Another Dream, but I want to have a better contest idea for that than simply "whoever-posts-a-comment-to-this-entry-is-entered-into-the-contest."
So, to win a free copy of Cultivating Love you need to give me a good idea to use for a contest next month to win a copy
of Another Dream (Does that make sense?).
To enter just reply with your suggestion by
filling out the form, below, or reply to my blog posts. This is also posted to both my Livejournal and my Blogspot, so just reply to either of those, or below. The winner will not be a random drawing, it will be the contest idea I decide
to use. If the same idea is given multiple times I will go with the one that was posted the earliest.
Don't delay now,
I'm only keeping this contest open through Friday morning at 9:00 AM CDT (GMT minus 5), so get your ideas posted! Good luck!
