Welcome to #CardCaper Monday! Leave your boots at the door and settle by the fire; everybody is welcome!
What is #CardCaper Monday, you may ask? It’s a pre-hastagged giveaway on my FB page that runs, somewhat predictably, every Monday for this month (and any other month in which I discover more unused, beautiful cards around my room!)
I got the idea as I was trying to think of fun giveaway ideas for my page, and came across a multitude of gorgeous cards I can never seem to resist buying, but never bring myself to write on.
This is how it works:
You’ll vote on which card is the prettiest, or most whimsical, or the most colourful. Or maybe you’ll just suggest a name, or a mythical beast for me to use.
Then I’ll write a micro story on the card and send the original to one lucky winner on my FB author page. When the winner gets the card and lets me know, I’ll post the micro story on my author page for everyone to read. The original stays with the winner.
Happy Boots! Soon to be emblazoned with the tale of a boy and his bunyip, and a bit of taxes thrown in for fun…
Which means, if you haven’t already ‘liked’ my page (and as a result, aren’t getting all the notifications), you should definitely pop on over there!
It’s Raining Men!
I select winners from the comments section of each #CardCaper post (like this one, and this one), and from people who ‘like’ the page, so your odds of winning a handwritten card are significantly higher if you like my page (that way, I can find you and message you if you win).
The first micro story, Goddess of Hinges and the Lord of Doorknobs, is already up on my author page here, so check that out!
The next #CardCaper Monday will start on Monday 21st May, with either a poll to decide which card goes out, or a question about character names, fantastic beasts, or setting.
