Friend Get Friend


First of all, my Ameriminions seem to be having a great time coming up with their opening lines, and I have to say the standard has been superb. There's still ages left to go, of course- the deadline is October 23rd- so keep submitting them in the comment section to the last post. It's all been very impressive so far- some real writers out there, and every few hours I have a new favourite... SO KEEP SUBMITTING!

Of course, I did promise a SECOND competition, now didn't I? Basically, your Golden God needs your Miniony help to spread the Skulduggery word around the world during this, the most fun of all months. This is what we're calling our "Friend Get Friend" competition, and it's all to do with social media. I honestly understand only about half of what I'm about to say, so please bear with me. The winners will receive a set of the Skulduggery books- UK editions- all signed by moi, and you'll each get a signed poster with your favourite quote scrawled across it. I'm not sure yet WHICH of the amazing Skulduggery poster you'll be getting, because it all depends on which ones I can find in my house (yes, that does mean these posters are from my own personal collection.)


Here are the things you need to do to be in with a chance of winning:

If you have a Facebook page, you could change your profile pic to the new Tom Percival US cover, then post a link on your Facebook wall to the eBook here http://bit.ly/qNJYCP

If you're on Twitter, you could tweet (I'm sorry, I'll never be able to take this word seriously) a message out using the following hashtag- #FREESkulduggeryebookUS . It can be about anything connected to the free eBook offer but it must contain a link to the page http://bit.ly/qNJYCP and a request to re-tweet your tweet. Good God. Tweeting, retweeting, hashtags... Does ANYONE understand what the hell I'm talking about?

If you have a different online profile- like MSN, YouTube, Blog, Tumblr, etc- then you could post a status update which includes the cover and the link http://bit.ly/qNJYCP ...

Now, if you do ANY of those things, you MUST tell me in the Comments section to THIS post. Tell me EXACTLY what you've done and you'll be automatically entered into the competition. The closing date is October 31st, the competition is open to EVERYONE in EVERY country (yep, that includes you Ameriminions), and 10 winners will be selected at random by me. 

Ready? Set? GO.

I'm from Denmark btw, love the books, started out by buying the first three in danish, but the translation of the books thereafter was to slow.. so i ordered them in english so i could get them faster .. :D :D I actually bought one on a schooltrip to london.. a lot faster than waiting for the book in the mail it seemed^^

BlackDragon said...

Mar-Chu said...

Derek, you haven't answered my question. Time is ticking, and I need to know this information, you know...

In the books, when you said something about the American Sanctuary, you said Sanctuaries, as in plural. Which IS understandable, saying that there's 50 states, and they're a bit far away from each other, with so many people and mages in-between. So, is there only one sanctuary for the WHOLE OF America, or one for every state?

StarryNight said...

um, I hope this works...
anyway, I changed my facebook picture (can't even remember the last time I was on before this) to the new cover, and I put a post with the link to the e-book.
http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100002864052365

And why is there a contest for the Americans, but not us CANADIANS too?

lego said...

majorly procrastinating here...lolwhuts homework?

lego said...

@starry- well, in canada, all of SP is released to bookstores, right? not so for us americans, unfortunately.

Dia T said...

I need the new SP book or I will die. Seriously, no joke. It's only Monday and my weeks been bloody awful and I need a new book. I've read just about every new or interesting book in the library and my house. I need a book to get lost in and for that I want Skulduggery. Why must I be tortured by not being able to get the new books?
Thank you s much for doing contests open to your Ameriminions

Mistical Future said...

Mistical Future said...

~Acacia Volt~ said...

MORNING INSOMNIACS! :D

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Why am I always so dreadful with the timing of these things? Hmm…

Nevertheless, I shall say what I came here to say.

I was reading my sibling’s Scholastic magazine when the marvellous picture of Death Bringer jumped out at me with the catch phrase ‘Stand out from the crowd!’

May I just say that they got one thing right :)

Alas, that is me, I am gone. I am off to watch more of Wolverine and his amazing adamantium :D
