This loveliness was made by Eli Madison! I am forever blown away by people with graphic design skills. The overlapping snowflakes; the font (just a little bit ominous, just a little bit icy); the snow slashing across the whole pic. Love this!!
This week has been SO INTENSE AND IT’S ONLY TUESDAY GAH.
Er. Wait. Holy crap it’s...

Anyway. Ahem.

These pics define “hotchacha.” Especially that one of Theron. *stares* *drools a little*
Just wanted to say how extremely excited I am for your book! I preordered it sooooo long ago it feels like forever. Basically i'm just happy that I have this to look forward to this month. Okay, I'm done. Thanks.

Thus, an entry from ifreakinlovebooks — a video guide to SNOW LIKE ASHES!
The music. The images. The sheer THOUGHT that went into this — I adore Carol, but this cemented my eternal love for her. WOW.
(and I’d be lying to say I won’t use this as a future reference for character appearances as I work on Books 2/3)
Join the Blizzard WINNER!
You guys. YOU GUYS.
This was by far THE BEST Join the Blizzard contest — all thanks to you and your wicked awesomeness.
Picking from this pool was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do this year. You all presented such beautiful creations, and if I could, you’d each get so many prizes your mailmen would curse me. But since there can only be one winner, I’ll be posting every entry on my Tumblr between now and SLA’s release, so I can properly fawn over them in turn!
Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for being a part of this blizzard. Each and every one of you has made this year the best an author could ever have, and I am mentally tackle-hugging all of you. When you go into a bookstore and see SLA sitting there, I hope every single one of you know how much you helped it get there — through your excitement, your participation in these contests, and spreading the word about SLA.
Writing a book can be a solitary endeavor, but all of you have made it feel the complete opposite of solitary, and for that, you rock times infinity.
Now, without further blubbery mushiness, I present: my top three!
Runner Up #2:
Jessica, for this beyond EPIC trailer! The music in this…the clips…
I teared up when I saw those LOTR segments. Those movies were HUGELY important to me as a teen, and seeing them used in relation to SLA…
*gross sobbing*
Runner Up #1:
Stanley, for the FREAKIN’ GORGEOUS drawing/chakram/koi fish/berries/glass bottle ALL THE THINGS!!
This is. I mean. LOOK AT IT. The details are INCREDIBLE.
Plus, Meira looks bad. ass.
Aaaannndddd…. *drum roll*
THE WINNER!
Kayla, for the glorious, breathtaking, so-fabulous-it-hurts-a-little CHAIN MAIL PORTRAIT OF MEIRA!
I mean…just…WOW. CHAIN MAIL. Meira would be SO TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS. I’M so totally in love with this.
Kayla, I’ll be emailing you soon!! And fangirling over this creation in babbling incoherentness.
Again, THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who entered! I could feel just how much you all put your heart and soul into these submissions, and know that I am absolutely over the moon and back to have fans as amazing as you.
Seriously, guys. You are better than any conduit.
