Yeah, I know, I know. It took long enough.
First off, we have two winners of the Sanctuary Unbound ARC. AE Rought with her poem Lumberjack of the Undead and Danielle Yockman with her tale of a vampire named Gray.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!!!
Anna Shah Hoque and Elaine R win $5 MBaM (My Bookstore and More) gift cards for participating!
Please send an email to bree AT moirarogers DOT com (replacing AT with @ etc etc) to collect. Why did it take so long to announce winners? Well, let me just break down our judging process.
Keith: AE Rought’s was nice and dirty. And she fought off the desire to include soul patches. Points for that.
Alisha: I know! It’s the best one yet! I love love love love love it! I want to die and come back as her! This is the one I pick!
Vivian: Oh Canada! Our home and native land! O Canada we stand on guard for thee.
Keith: Next up is Elaine R. Her Not Safe For Work image doesn’t come through for me. All I get is a picture that says “Image Hosted by Tripod.” Maybe it was censored by Little Old Church Ladies protecting us from the debased Internet.
Alisha: I couldn’t see it either but it was most definitely my favoritest EVER! I canNOT even tell you how much it made me want to have lumberjack babies. I love love love LOVE IT! This is the one I pick!
Vivian: Ô Canada! Terre de nos aïeux. Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Keith: Yeah, Viv. We get it, eh? You’re Canadian. You have lumberjacks living next door. And, just like maple syrup, you’re all around sweetastic up North. Back to the contest.
Next up we have Danielle Yockman. She submitted T-shirts, Facebook pages, and a dirty limerick. Speaking of which, are there ANY limericks that aren’t dirty?
Alisha: OMG! I love love love love love loooooved this one the best so far. Tramps and vamps. I LMAO-ed so hard I fell off my chair and sprained my appendix. This is totally the one I pick!
Vivian: Now sing it in Inuktitut! Uu Kanata! nangmini nunavut! Piqujatii nalattiaqpavut. Uu Kanata, salagijauquna!
Keith: … … So anyway… Last up we have Anna Shah Hoque, who went with a tried and true classic. Monty Python. Enough said.
Alisha: I think I might even love this one the best, because when I love something, I love love love a classic something more than a new something . You know I’m not fickle like that. Old School for me, yay! This one is my favoritest of favorite favorites. I pick this one!
Vivian: Canadian lumberjacks only! Don’t accept any poseurs! Go with the Real Thing! Sing with me! O Canada! Where pines and maples grow. Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow…

So you see, judging contests here is not quite as simple as it might first seem. Congratz to the winners.
