Giant SHIVER Giveaway & Trailer

And now for the contest! First of all, the lovely prizes.

1) Two ARCs of SHIVER, mailed out as soon as the contest is finished.
2) Two finished copies of SHIVER, mailed out as soon as I get my author's copies.
3) Two CDs of the music I wrote for SHIVER and LAMENT.
4) 15 minute live-chat with the author (that would be me) to talk about my books, your books, your dog, or whatever!

And the rules:

1) Watch the trailer I made for SHIVER below (it took me dozens of hours to make the hundreds of paper cut outs and then photograph the multiple frames per second)(Yes I am crazy).
2) Post a link to the trailer or embed the trailer online. Every unique place you post it counts as an entry. Sooo that means you can embed it on your LJ, post a link on twitter, post a link on your Facebook, and embed it on Myspace, and it would count as 4 entries.
3) Comment back here telling me where you linked it, numbered like so: 1. LJ, 2. Twitter, 3. Facebook, 4. Blogger, etc., with linkies, so I can spend my time writing more books instead of counting and verifying entries.

ETA: If you tweet it, kindly use the hash tag #shiver!

I will hold a Giant Drawing on Tuesday, July 7th, at 9 p.m., and post the winners here and on my Blogger blog.

Sound good?

Here's the trailer!

And thanks. I always *wanted* to do something like this, but . . . just never did until now. I don't know why! It was awfully fun.

WHAT A GORGEOUS MOVIE.

You are truly a talented artist, Maggie. :-) I am in awe you made all that out of paper. (I am SOOOOO not that talented at anything with paper, except writing my name in different "fonts" using pencil LOL)

I won't be entering the contest because I already have a copy (woo hoo!).

Question:Are you signing SHIVER @ ALA? lol maybe I'll receive a second copy from my godmother. ha ha ha ha.

P.S. I miss Beck and Shelby and Sam already *sigh* Maybe I do need a reread!

Fantabulous work as always! You are mega talented!

Here are my entries so far.

1. Live Journal: http://goadingthepen.livejournal.com/92731.html
2. Facebook - I posted it on my page and then posted on three other peoples walls too. Don't know if that counts or not. =)

Will post more later, gotta go deal with real life. =(

m_stiefvater on June 30th, 2009 04:52 pm (UTC)

Brilliant as always! Two for now! Let me contemplate the wisdom of counting writing on walls. It seems like it would be good visibility, but I don't want people going crazy and spammy with it, and given the insanity that seems to surround these contests, that's a distinct possibility.

OK, I'm in! I wanted to re-post your play-doh one, anyway. I don't have a ton of online haunts and I am a new twitterer so I have no clue how to tag a tweet, but I did my best, lol. So:

1. Livejournal

2. Facebook

I'm not entering the contest. I plan to buy the book.

I just wanted to say:
1. The trailer is awesome, an artistic and musical--wow, you wrote the music, too--marvel.
2. Your writing is wonderful.
3. I'm looking forward to reading Shiver (and Ballad).

Hey Maggie,

Great job on the trailer!

I LJ'd, twitted and facebooked. Though you'll have to trust me on the facebook since I only have freinds and family on there - no writing world. Good news is, I have more than 100 immediate relatives, so it is a nice new audience for you :). I forgot to # on twitter (since I don't actually know what I'm doing on twitter) so I'll retweet later.

Again, great job on the trailer. -Kai
