Anniversary offer!

[rowana.livejournal.com]

Sounis marked its one year anniversary a while ago, and to commemorate it, Megan asked me to post here for her. I think she summed it up pretty well:

I have about 30 copies of the cover proof for the paperback of The King of Attolia. It's the same art as on the hardcover, with the lovely picture of Gen. It's exactly like a cover, same size, same print quality, on heavy duty cover stock paper.

I know that the one year anniversary of the com has just passed, and I thought I might
offer the proofs as a sort of mini-poster to anyone who wanted one, in honor of the anniversary. First come first served. Anyone who wants one should send an e-mail with his (ha!) or HER address to meganwhalenturner@harpercollins.com, or directly to my address if they already have it.

So, thirty copies of the becautiful KoA cover are available. Go go go! :D

A picture of a cover proof copy can be seen here.

*immediately ran to her email and composed the following:*

Oh Mrs. Turner (or whoever reads this and then forwards it to her),

I would forever be indebted to you if I might obtain for myself one of these pictures that you have so graciously offered on the Livejournal community Sounis. I adore your books, and this poster would obtain a place of special reverence on my dorm room wall, and provide hours of entertainment during the dreary final-filled month ahead.

*insert address*

Thanks a lot!
Jade

Ahem. I'm sure she won't give us precedence. Besides, it looks like you got in first Jade. :D

Wow, awesome. I don't think it applies to the Dutch though, does it? *snerk* Good luck to everyone else, though~! It's so cool that MWT pays attention to a community like this... but... I'll have to watch what I say... XDD

*tries to figure out how long ago this was posted*

I was just wondering the same thing about Australia :) Luckily I also have friends in the US who are soon to be posting on a book package of cheap US books so it could always go there instead (as a perhaps intelligibly wrote to MWT due to my rush).

Incidentally I think we should make one of those maps that show where we all are in the world and see the power of Sounis!

I don't think it applies to the Dutch though, does it? *snerk*

*grin* I doubt it applies to me either, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. *shrugs* No harm in asking.

but... I'll have to watch what I say... XDD

:) The last time Megan commented on one of our more crack-filled conversations, she called us all Reprobates. Most of us have embraced this title. :D

How fabulous! I've sent my e-mail and crossed my fingers. All three covers (the three that match, I mean) are gorgeous, but that's my favorite and I'd love to frame and hang it.

[rowana.livejournal.com]

It'd be great wouldn't it. :) The cover art really is beautiful for KoA.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I e-mailed her, but I don't know her actual address, just the one in this entry, soooo I really hope I'm not too late! Oh man, I'd love to have that proof!

[rowana.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers for you* I'm sure you got through. :)

[avian-xj.livejournal.com]

ahhhhh, oh my gosh... i just emailed MWT. that alone is enough to make me faint.

*dies* OMG

...i asked her to sign it too :P

*crosses her fingers and hyperventilates hoping she was one of the first people*

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

Why didn't I think of that? Gaaah!

[rowana.livejournal.com]

...i asked her to sign it too :P

Drat, why did I not think of this. :)

[fizzko.livejournal.com]

I sent the e-mail about an hour or so ago. I'm hoping against all hope that I get one of these. XD

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

... Did anyone see the part at the bottom about an original short story about Gen as well as a family tree and character sketches?

That's going to be awesome!

it's a proof, final copy may be different!

which is to say, don't hold your breath while waiting for a family tree.

Willow - I am totally impressed you caught that!

[adalanne.livejournal.com]

Ha, I'm probably too late. But still tried, so we'll see. ^_^

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

Nice icon!

[fabricalchemist.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that's shiny ^^ Good luck, you guys!!

[allthingevil123.livejournal.com]

*looks at times on post* damn everyone's posting at stupid times in the morning, i'll try but i have a feeling people in the usa have a slight advantage over me. *crosses fingers and prays*

[rain-ing.livejournal.com]

Ack I just reached home!!

I hope I am in time *dies*

And in my rush to send of the email I think I left out many, many things I wanted to say to her Oh dearie me.

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

I was in such a rush to get my mail in quickly that I didn't say anything except please and thank you, I think. ::feels rude and like a fool::

[emerald-happy.livejournal.com]

We love you Megan! Thank you for thinking of us (other than thiking we are reprobates)! Rowana, you must be so proud how the comm has grown! Why doesn't Eddis stop by anymore???

Ah damn. I email Megan then forget to add my address, then email Megan again hoping she doesn't think I'm totally scatterbrained. Then realise that everyone is a day ahead of me because of time zones and having to go to work on Saturdays! *considers begging Rowana to borrow hers to do a colour photocopy. Offers Rowana cookies*

[rowana.livejournal.com]

It's nice to just have other people to discuss the books with after five years of people going 'Megan who?' :) I'm not sure why Eddis doesn't stop by anymore, we'd only exchanged a few posts on the allscifi list before starting up this com, so I'm not in touch with her. It'd be nice to have her around again.

Emerald, I'm sure you'll have gotten through, but if you haven't, you're more than welcome to borrow mine to do a colour photocopy.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

You are getting one, for sure, aren't you Rowana? Because as Queen of the Comm no one deserves one more than you.

[rowana.livejournal.com]

I hope so, though you've certainly put just as much effort into Sounis as I have. :) Have you emailed in for one? It'd look great adorning the wall of your library. :D

[octopirock.livejournal.com]

eek, I finally come out of hiding for Thanksgiving break and this post is here. I sent an e-mail, but I wish I had looked at my friends list earlier... Silly me. *crosses fingers*

[anon8.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I know how you feel *crosses fingers for both of us*

All gone
