LOL Voting

LOL Snoopy
Voting is still open in the book donation contest. Several of my readers have been generous enough to chip in, which means we'll be giving the complete goblin trilogy to the top five six!!!!!! choices. Life is good.

I hope you're not tired of voting and contests yet, because we've also got a LOL caption to pick for Goblin War [Amazon | Mysterious Galaxy].

There are almost 80 comments on that post, people! This is more participation than I've had in any other contest, and I hadn't even figured out what to offer as a prize! Clearly, LOL books are the key to a successful contest.

Thanks to everyone who participated. You made my life difficult, because you're too dang funny. I'm starting to think I should quit the LOL books and turn the job over to the rest of you.

In order to keep the voting manageable, I've narrowed it down to ten top contenders, in no particular order. The winner will probably receive an assortment of goblin goodies. (Autographed bookplate, bookmarks, tattoo, maybe even a goblin-lover button...) More importantly, they will be featured on the March 3 LOL book, thus earning the respect and prestige of the entire Internet.

Poll #1141462
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Please choose only one

I promise to post something more writing-related tomorrow. Maybe an update on Stepsister revisions, or a few reflections on the chat with the editor a week or so back.

I know! To be honest, I'm feeling a little intimidated. I'm starting to think I should let my readers pick the captions, since they'll probably do a better job of it!

I scanned through all the other Lolbooks covers and I found great pleasure in the Fireball one! It was really hilarious.

That's one of my favorites. I'm still grateful to Alma for letting me to that to her poor book :-)

You have very good friends! I bet Alma has the needed dose of humor to allow that and I bet she still sniggers thinking about it. Hypothetically speaking.

I totally love the fact that the wolf/beast thing looks more confident and assured of himself than jig. Can you tell i don't speak the language.

Well, to be fair, it's not that hard to be more confident than poor Jig :-)

this will be the second most important thing I will have voted on this year.

The first is of course who should get your set of books.

Thank you! With the presidential primaries, not to mention the SFWA election, it's good to know there are people who know what's *really* important!
