Cross-posted from onaleopard 

corvaxgirl and I have been scheming! You see, she has a wonderful box of things that I gave her to raffle off as she pleased in her guise as minitrix of Saloncon, and being a kind and generous soul, she has decided to offer it up to Fairyland readers!







This box contains signed copies of all my books (Palimpsest not shown but included),s00j 's Orphan's Tales CDs, a free year-long omikuji_project membership, a beautiful Orphan's Tales inspired necklace byupstart_crow and a full bottle of the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scent Yuki-Onna. It's full of awesome, in other words. If, you know, you like my particular brand of awesome.

How do you get this box?

You make something for the Fairyland Museum. Anything: jewelry, soap, bath bombs, drawings, spun yarn, perfume, knitted or felted objects, glasswork, food recipes, music, creative photographs--if you do it, I consider it art. Just make anything, inspired by Fairyland. You'll have till August 1st to post your Museum entry to onaleopard, and then the community will vote for the winning piece. (All the pieces will go into the Fairyland Museum on the website regardless, with links to your own sites.)

I do not put these packages together often, as the sheer cost of the books involved is pretty high. This is your last chance to get a free complete collection until the next novel comes out in 2011!

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! If you have any questions, fire away in the comments!

My wife would love that box.

And she makes things. I shall pass it along.

Do you have favorite colors?

All the art should be based on Fairyland--the dominant colors there are green and orange.

Does it come with the chest itself?

What if you have most of the books already and you really only just want the box?

*snerk*

Or if you win and don't need the books, consider repackaging the books as something to auction off for charity at some point, or give as gifts, or keep in the box and cackle over!


I would definitely second the gifting idea, especially if it'll garner new readers and fans. :)

If I win I plan to give the ones I already have to friends/loves who don't have them.

...and hoard the others jealously. ;)

ZOMG I can't wait to see/hear/? what you come up with!

(getting out my pencils now)

Is there a way to acquire the Orphan's Tales CD without winning the contest? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: Orphan's Tales CD

Thank you! Ordered and downloaded. (1st Orphan's Tales CD is out of stock, but still available as a download, in case anyone else wonders)

knitting needles at the ready....

I hate to ask because it sounds so greedy, but...is it at all possible to get the books autographed if we win? (I'm preemptively volunteering to pay any shipping, etc. necessary. ^^)

I also already have most of the books, but I'd totally love to have a signed set that I could vacuum-seal and put in cryogenic storage MY PRECIOUSSSS keep as collectibles while using my current copies for actual reading and the like. :)

It's creepy that this was posted when it was--I was just thinking about Wyverary pictures I could draw and was all, "Nah, nobody would really..." The universe is mysterious. ^_^;;

--Riss.

They are all signed already--if you wanted them personalized there would be some shipping from Deb to me to you again, but definitely possible.

Oh man, I can't believe I missed that when I read the original post.

Just signatures are awesome enough. Thank you~ :)

*sqee* :P

I shall have to grab the camera and photograph the necklace/bracelet set I just made last week before vacation (the Leopard of Little Breezes). Maybe I can sneak in some sunlight today to do so (we've got rain in the forecast all week, which makes getting a nice jewelry photograph that much harder without natural light).

Hello, necklace! Ohh, I think that's the Mare one?

It is! If you want to enter anyway I can replace it with something else...

Nah, that's OK! :) I have all your books already, and both of s00j's CDs, so I'd really only do it for the box :p. I just couldn't quite see what was in the baggie, so I was more remarking than anything!

(Deleted comment)
I too am not in the US (though I have a postbox there)... would a perfume I felt rather compelled to make count? I had thought to call it Shangri-La, but perhaps In Want Of A Leopard instead.

Of course! Post a pic with a scent description.

That's an awesome box of goodies.
