dcopulsky! The d10 of Fate choose him to win the ARC of Troy High. I thought all the muses and inspirations were excellent, and was glad to see both the classical muses and modern inspirations get equal screen time.
This week starts what will be a series of prizes in the same vein. When I worked at Barnes and Noble, all of Andrew Lang's fairy books went on the bargain table. I bought all of the ones we had in the store. Recently, I inherited another nearly complete set, which means I've got a number of duplicates. This is great news for you! Classic fairy stories in books of rainbow colors are going to be up for grabs, starting with the most famous: Lang's Blue Fairy Book.
To win a copy of this classic, all you need to do is describe your favorite fairystory. Feel free to define that term as you see fit -- for this contest, it's open to your definition.
To inspire you, here are some more antics from the editorial assistants:
Jack: So I just rub the lamp like this...
Jack: Hey, there's supposed to be a genie in there!
Tollers: Boss, where's the genie?

Date: 2009-08-12 02:48 am (UTC)Fairy story and fairy tale are both roughly the same. I used the previous because Tolkien uses it to not only describe traditional fairy tales, but also works of the fantastic that involve that Perilous Realm of Other. So, modern novels would also qualify for this week's contest, for example.
