DABWAHA game on: bribery is go!

The DABWAHA voting has begun and The Magpie Lord needs your vote!

Voting in my bracket (bracket 4) is open Friday 21, 12.00-23.59 CST, ie for 12 hours from 6pm (I think) in the UK.

It is perfectly within the spirit of the contest to beg or bribe for votes, multiple vote, get your friends to vote, trash talk your opponents, blackmail people, kidnap their puppies, etc. I’m not actually sure if this is a book contest or some kind of psychology ethics experiment. If the latter, I fail, because here’s my bribe:

If I get to round two, I will commit to writing a free story about one of Lucien and Merrick’s adventures in Shanghai, with chaos, adventure, magic and romance. (Romance for Merrick, that is. Yep, going there.)

In the unlikely event I win round two (ie get into the final of the GLBT category) I will raise the stakes…

So, vote for me on Friday afternoon/evening!

Oh, and if you’re wondering who else to vote for in the other brackets, I suggest Provoked by Joanna Chambers, because a) it’s fabulous and b) she will do a hilarious romance pastiche as bribe, and you want to read that.

 

Still promo. I know. This is kind of a massive deal for me, though.
