WE’RE IN THE FINAL TEN DAYS *SCREAMS*

*ahem*

So, as most of my lovely followers know, I’m trying to get my book, The Lost Magic, published through Kindle Scout. I’m in the last ten days of my campaign and I’m starting to fall out of hot and trending. This is a huge thing for me – I’ve been dreaming about publishing a book since I was nine, and making that dream come true would just be amazing. I honestly can’t even convey with words what it would be like.

And that’s where you guys come in. I know many many many many many of you have reblogged the post and nominated me already, and I love you all so much for that. This is sort of a combination of paying people back for all the reblogging they’ve done for me (<3) and maybe to entice people who haven’t yet.

To start, book details: ♦ It’s an LGBT romance/fantasy/urban magic book. The main character, Alice Tomkins, is a young woman on the run from a government agency that hunts magic users. She meets Riley Nichols, and the two team up to survive together. You can read the full summary and the prologue and half of chapter one on the Kindle Scout campaign page.

Things that aren’t in the summary or campaign page but should be noted: ♦ There are a ton of LGBT characters and none of them die. ♦ Seriously there’s like…two straight couples in the book ♦ The same-sex couples are treated as totally normal and no one bats an eye at them (no homophobia) ♦ The main couple is Alice and Riley – they get together early and stay together. There’s no drama about coming out, and the focus of the book is the magical conflict (no spoilers on that)

To Qualify For The Giveaway: ♦ Following me isn’t required but would be appreciated ♦ Reblog this post (likes don’t count) ♦ Reblog the book post (likes don’t count) ♦ I can’t prove if you nominated my book or viewed the page, but I would appreciate it if you could do those things and I’m going on the honor system here

Prize Details: I can’t offer much, but this is what I have.

♦ Everyone who reblogs will be put on a promo list that will go up after the campaign ends on October 14 ♦ I will write 1,000-word fic on the subject of your choice*

*Try to keep it to fandoms I know, but that’s a pretty long list *The actual writing might take a bit I promise it will happen. If you send in a request I will write it.

Ten more days guys. Wish me luck and thank you all for everything you’ve done!

bruce wayne maintains a presence on all conspiracy theory boards with the screen name BruceWayneIsTheBatman and all his posts have titles like “BRUCE WAINE IS BAT-MAN INDISPUTABLE PROOF” and it’s just a picture of Bruce Wayne from the back next to a picture of Batman from behind and they both have the contours of their butt drawn on in a shitty MSPaint red line (note: Bruce is in a suit and Batman has a cape, neither of their butts are clearly discernible) and the quote “THE BUTTS MATCH!!! THE FACTS DON’T LIE!!!!!” and he makes at least three of these posts a day, and “Bruce Wayne is the Batman” becomes a meme a la “Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer” and he gets asked about it on a talk show and he laughs uproariously at the idea and Stephen Colbert just HAPPENS to have a batman mask under the desk and they do a bit together where Bruce Wayne puts on the mask and walks around saying things like “excuse me, bank robbers, can I perhaps offer you some money to stop you robbing this bank?” and “I say, cease and desist your criminal behavior or I’ll have my butler ask you to leave” and the audience is LOSING THEIR MINDS laughing at the idea of this pampered rich guy taking on the Joker on a bi-weekly basis and then anyone who suggests “Bruce Wayne is Batman” in earnest gets met with mocking “oh man do the butts match” comments

Imagine, someday, the Joker actually finding out a) that Batman is Bruce Wayne and b) that he’s spent their entire shared career being completely and utterly trolled by this stoic asshole in a bat suit and by that utterly hapless billionaire, and then Bruce-the-Batman leans in and whispers, “The butts match. The facts don’t lie,” and Jokes can only stare at him in complete and utter awe because Bruce Wayne as the Batman he can sort of wrap his brain around but Bruce Wayne and the Batman are that ridiculously wrong conspiracy theorist TOO, and he’s RIGHT?!!!

It’s the best and biggest bluecreen of the Joker’s life, and somehow, he’s never been happier.

Tumblr people I need your help!

I’ve submitted my novel to Kindle Scout for publication, and I have thirty days to get people to nominate my book. It’s really easy: if you have an Amazon account just click the link, log in, and click the nominate button on my page. If you leave it in your nominations until the end of the campaign, and it’s chosen for publication, you’ll get a free e-copy of it.

It would REALLY mean a lot to me if you could nominate my novel. It’ll only take a few seconds, and it would help me out a lot. If you don’t have an Amazon account, click on the link anyways - they also measure how many hits the campaign page gets.

And if you REALLY love me, you can share this and let your own friends see it! The more exposure I can get, the better.

Help a Sam out?

“The cliches of the genre were to desaturate the cinematography. So [George Miller] and great Australian cinematographer John Seale (dragged out of retirement), saturated the color. ‘We were able to change the skies, and go against the idea that because it’s the apocalypse, there’s no longer any beauty in the world.‘” - Anne Thompson, Film Columnist
 “The desert sand in Namibia is, in reality, closer to be gray color, but pushing it toward rich gold colors complemented the characters and vehicles, providing a strong, graphic look. The only other dominant color in the film was blue sky, which we embraced.“ - Eric Whipp, Senior Colorist
