[Merlin1958]

Please enter my name, but if I win could you ship to Jerome for the 2012 Haven Fundraiser? Of course, I'll pay for the S/H

[Scott Landon]

Please enter my name, but if I win could you ship to Jerome for the 2012 Haven Fundraiser? Of course, I'll pay for the S/H

Yes, i will do that conditionally. The conditions being that it be for a giveaway and not an auction and that if you and i agree that someone legitimately can't afford the minimum donation to be eligible for the giveaway that you and i split on making them eligible. Otherwise i'll send it to you if you win and you'll do with it what you will. My hope here though is that it finds a home with someone who might not be able to get it otherwise... Or at least not so easily. I already have the signed one myself so i thought I would share with one of our friends.

Cook: Tell and you will find out.

[CRinVA]

Im in Im in Please add my name!

Hey Scott,

I didn't see it spelled out in the rules, but usually people are on the honor system not to enter if they own a particular giveaway item already or a higher value edition of same.

Does this standard rule apply here?

Just wondering, I'm sitting it out either way.

[Scott Landon]

I purposely didn't make that a rule. People shouldn't need a rule to behave honorably and if they do they probably won't anyway. The spirit of these things should imply that you not try to get it if you don't need it. That would be almost as bad in my opinion as trying to win it and then turning around and selling it immediately. I would probably never know, but I also could not think very much of the person if I did know they did something like that.

I am going to add one small rule though. To enter you must have fifty posts on the site. If you don't you've got plenty of time to start posting.

[Scott Landon]

evilash gets a pass on the fifty post rule though since he/she got in before the rule was made.

[evilash]

Thanks for the pass! I have been a member for a year and a half and a lurker for a few years before that. I just don't post that much (strong silent type LOL). I am on the site every day (several times in fact) and have dealt with several of the members here as well. If anybody has a problem with my not having posted enough I will do my best to have enough posts by X-mas so it won't even be an issue. Thanks for the the show of trust!

[evilash]

By the way, I am a he!

[Scott Landon]

Well, of course we'd prefer you post often, sir. :)

[Jimimck]

I'd like to enter on the same conditions as Merlin re the fundraiser.... If that's OK?

[Scott Landon]

I'd like to enter on the same conditions as Merlin re the fundraiser.... If that's OK?

I think here I want to just say no. I mean I don't intend it unkindly at all, but Haven has a chance of getting it through Bill. If a bunch of people start entering in Haven's name well, Haven will be almost guaranteed to get it to the detriment of all those others who've entered. I think it's great that you want to help Haven. I considered donating it myself both to Haven and another charity. I do help when it feels right to me. Ultimately I decided with this that I wanted to simply give it away with no attachments. If you (or anyone else) wants or needs it for themselves they can enter and I wish them the best with it.

[Jimimck]

No problem at all - makes sense. No need to enter me thanks anyway, just picked one up recently.
I hope this goes to someone who really wants it as it is an awesome book.

Good luck all.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Ok, I'm entering for one reason only - I want the book.

Thank you for being understanding about it. I do think it's great that so many want to help Haven.

Also I agree it's great. I've bought a few so far. Two s/l and this trade copy. I'll probably be getting at least one more.

That just happens to be my favorite reason. I'll add you to the list.

Oh, and one added note: I'm removing the shipping requirement, no matter where you live. We'll make that part of the giveaway too. I would say best of luck to you, but only one of you will have the best of luck.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown Scott Landon.

[Storyslinger]

If you wouldn't mind, add my name as well.

[Odetta]

[jedi mind trick]
You don't want to put your name into this contest. This contest is not for you. You are going to leave now and go post in the poetry threads. Move along.
[/jedi mind trick]

just upped my odds at winning :)

[Patrick]

This is not the contest we're looking for.

Amazing, i´am of cause IN.
(The postage costs to Germany are going to kill you.)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Those Jedi mind tricks don't work on me. You have to have a mind first and mine was burned out long ago.

[herbertwest]

A very nice giveaway. When will it end?

[Scott Landon]

Christmas eve at midnight is the cutoff for entry. The drawing will be christmas day.

[evilash]

I can't wait! I have wanted to flip through this book for far too long. Maybe this will give me the chance! Dare to dream!!

If you get 50 posts in before christmas you'll be considered as an entry if you come back in here so i know.

[TCCBodhi]

I'll throw my hat in the ring. Thanks for the generous giveaway. Forum communities are the best.

[TCCBodhi]

It's too bad that I don't still have my KZON t-shirt or my newspaper copies of the Castle Rock (News?). I probably threw them away at some point after a housemates dog devoured a bunch of my books one day.. I don't even want to go out and look around to see if those were worth anything.

I'm adding you. Try to make your posts on topic for the threads you're posting in though.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Is it to late to sign up? Cuz I'd love to!

[DisneyGuys]

I am just loving this forum and group more and more. I come looking for helpful information and stumble across a cool contest. Please add me to the list and I'm happy to pay shipping if I am lucky enough.

Daniel

[Darkthoughts]

Could you add me please, dear Scott :wub:

[Scott Landon]

LadyHitchhiker and DisneyGuys: I've added both of you too. :)

I hope noone is too upset about it, but I've removed the shipping provision. Wherever it goes it goes there free.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Is there to be an announcement of the winner or is it private?

[Scott Landon]

I'm sorry for the delay. I hope the holidays were good to everyone. I used The Hat program to draw the name and Cook won! Congratulations and Merry Christmas! :D I'll contact you tomorrow for your shipping info.

[Cook]

Scott,

Seriously... That is so cool !!
I can't thank you enough, A few days ago I was explaining how cool this book is to my wife.
I told her my odds of winning are really not that bad all things considered, but of course I didn't think I'd win.
I've really wanted to add this to my collection. Again, thank you so very much.

- Richard

[Storyslinger]

Congrats Cook. My it fill the void in your collection. :thumbsup: :clap:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

And you'll get your daily workout while reading it!

[Jimimck]

Congratulations Cook.
And a huge congratulations to Scott for being so generous

[CRinVA]

Extremely jealous - oh - and congrats Cook!

[Merlin1958]

Congrats, Rich!!!

[DisneyGuys]

Congrats to the winner! I missed the added qualifier about needing to have 50 posts. Maybe I will qualify for a generous giveaway by next Xmas if I can come up with worthwhile info to share that is new and unique.
Daniel

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, Cook! :)

[EvaH]

congrats!

[Scott Landon]

I really hope you enjoy it Richard.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

My suggestion for the next giveaway is the lettered IT. And oh heck, I'll even pay the postage when, I mean if, I win IT.

[Cook]

Scott,
I'm absolutely positively quite sure I will enjoy your gift.
Again.. Thank you very much.
BTW, when do I have to start paying everybody's personal bills ?? LOL
I probably can't do the bill thing but I will definitely pay it forward this year with the Haven Foundation.
Also, thanks to all for the nod of recognition.
Richard



I really hope you enjoy it Richard.

[Scott Landon]

My suggestion for the next giveaway is my true first 'Salem's Lot DJ and that Scott Landon be the only one eligible to enter. I'll be doing this giveaway tonight.

Done! I'll PM you my address now. :P

Do whatever feels right. :)

[TCCBodhi]

Congrats Cook, and thank you Scott for your generousity.

[skyofcrack]

Well done, Cook. Enjoy the GInormous book.

This looks like a contest I would very much liked to've been a part of. This book has been at the top of my want list ever since it was first announced. I almost grabbed the 'smaller' one at Amazon when it was about half off.

Of course, I signed up here the day after Christmas and I don't have 50 posts. Double whammy. :P

Very generous giveaway, Scott. :clap:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I hope you enjoy that old dust jacket Scott. Sorry I put that ice cold can of Coke on it that really hot day.

[Scott Landon]

:lol:

It's okay! It's the thought that counts. :)





Maybe I can do another one of these after awhile. This was fun!

[John Blaze]

Congrats Cook!




.........i hate you.

[Cook]

:) I Hate me too :)
I'll really hate myself when I receive it :) :)

Seriously, thanks for all the nods.


Congrats Cook!



.........i hate you.

[John Blaze]

:lol: don't hate yourself too much now, leave some room for us!

[velcro_fly]

Congrats

[Patrick]

I abstained from the drawing, so I have no reservations about congratulating you, Richard!

Scott, you are one very cool cat. Very generous of you to do this.

[Scott Landon]

Better late than never, I hope.




Richard, your book is on it's way to it's new home. :D

[Merlin1958]

Since I am a shameless, professional "Shill", how about something for the 2012 Haven Fundraiser? We already have some really, really (Yes I typed "Really twice) cool things in the pipeline. Any help from the members here would be more than greatly appreciated!!!!!


Give!!! (if you can)
