Title: Who's Fooling Who sweepstake
Description: sign up time!
camis - March 15, 2007 11:48 AM (GMT)
It's that time again - time for someone to be showered with books. I've listed the rules below (stolen from Karendawn who stole them from previous winners).
Relayers who wish to participate in the next Relayer Sweepstakes may sign up by posting here in the thread, plus PMing me with your name and address. If you only want to send a book, you don't need to pm me, but mention it here in the thread, so I can make the relevant changes.
The first name drawn is the Who's Fooling Who Sweeps winner. The second name drawn becomes the decoy. All participants except the true winner will be sent the winner's name and address (the winner gets the decoy name and address). They then send one book of their choice to the winner.
The drawing date will be April 1 - April Fools Day! And then the fun begins - the sweepstakes winner will find his/her mailbox filled with goodies for weeks to come! It's like Christmas all over again!
Things to Know (aka The Rules)
1. I will be exempt from winning because I'll organize things and draw the names. Other relayers may choose to "send only" meaning that their names will not go into the drawing but that they will send a book to the winner.
2. Anyone wanting to enter must PM me with your address and full name.
3. On April 1, I will throw all the names into a box, bowl, whatever is handy at the time. I will then pick out 2 names. The first name will be the "winner" and the second is the "decoy". I will then send out the winner's name and address to all the other participants, including the decoy. They will then chose one book (or more, if they want) to send to the winner.
DO NOT TELL HIM/HER THAT THE BOOKS ARE COMING!!
I will send the "winner" the address of the "decoy" so he/she won't know they have won until their mailbox gets flooded with books.
4. The winner is free to do exactly what they want with the books they receive! Read them, make them available to others, wild releasing is an option whatever, it's their choice.
5. All genres should be considered fair game to be sent, regardless of if you think they will like it or not. That's another part of the fun--getting books you wouldn't normally pick up yourself. It really opens the winner up to new stuff. Due to popular demand, the only restriction on type of book to be sent is NO Harlequins and other series romance. (unless Sand wins again)
6. This is an international contest so you will be expected to ship overseas. Please don't sign on if you can't do so, as that's not fair to the winner.
7. The winner of this Who's Fooling Who Sweeps will take over the responsibility of organizing and hosting the next Relayers Sweeps (in about 3 months).
8. I will make a general announcement on the forum when the winner's name has been drawn and will then start PM'ing all entrants with the info. PLEASE DON'T SHARE THE WINNER'S NAME - LET IT BE A SURPRISE WHEN THEY START RECEIVING BOOKS!!!!
