Winner, and Contest #2: Favorite Fairystory

[alanajoli]

Congratulations to 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?

Whenever I think about Thumbelina, I think of the song from the Danny Kaye movie Hans Christian Andersen. :)
