New tactic.

[icebluenothing]

Okay, so, since my previous post, I've seen exactly one person post the link graphic for my reading.  I had to resort to begging last year, too.  It's a week away and I only know of literally half-a-dozen people who've said that they're coming.  I swear this is getting harder every year and I'm not entirely sure why that is.

Anyway.  Begging doesn't work?  That's fine.  I'm not above resorting to bribery.

*ahem*

If you post about my reading and encourage your friends to come, I'll have a present waiting for you when you show up.

If you tell me ahead of time, "Hey, I'm coming and I'm bringing someone who hasn't been to one of your readings," I'll have a present waiting for both of you.

You don't have to use the graphic if you don't want -- a textual invite is fine.  Be sure you mention the date, time, and address, obviously.  A link to my website would be nice, too.

It doesn't have to be on LiveJournal -- if you post about it on your weblog, or Twitter, or anywhere that people will see it, the offer stands.  Just mail me and let me know.

I've told two folks here.

But all I had to do was forward them the link to your post here.

I shan't be there, though. Kids. :/

Hey, we LOVE you and would love to come, but maybe you could pick a different night? Seriously. I understand why you want to do it that night, but it just doesn't work for everyone.

Having said that, I'll go post your graphic.

Since you've been a panelist at NWC, you should post it on that community.

I don't have much sway over the entertainment choices of my f-list, but I'll post it.

I let the folks at work know, but Liam demands trick-or-treat time, so we won't be making it ourselves. (We don't need a present, either, though there *is* a nice new Sony D-SLR coming out this week... :) )

Hope your turnout is large and terrified.

I have invited some of my non-livejournal friends to the Facebook event. We'll see if anyone comes.


(um, could you take my name off your public "gift list"? I feel awkward about being held up as a "good example". Thx.)
((and thus obvs you don't need to give me anything.)) (((unless you want to.)))

o hey, I bet wayward could be cool with you reading fanfic. Depending on the legal stuff, that might generate a less time-dependent audience.

I'll be there, I'm always there. :-) Also, I'll post the graphic, but thought I'd wait till after this weekend to do so, in the interests of clarity.

I'd post it - but everyone that I know that might be intersted in going already has you on their friends list I beleive.

I'll go ahead and put a link on my email account. I'm fairly new to LJ, so feel free to read my journal, (I think only one person has done so thus far :(, it will be more interesting the more I get used to writing.... I promise.

Good luck at the reading, I hope alot of people show up!
