When I say "these are the rules for a giveaway," what I mean is "these are the rules for a giveaway," not "some of these rules are negotiable or can be ignored." If you do not follow the rules exactly as stated, you will not be eligible to win.

When I say "please use my contact form," what I mean is "please use my contact form." Not "please dig up a personal email that you have for me from some point in the past." Not "please use the contact form at miragrant.com." If I meant either of those things, I would say so. They would look like "you can only win if you already know how to reach me ha ha" and "please use the contact form at miragrant.com," respectively. If you do not use my contact form, at the seananmcguire.com website, you will not be eligible to receive your prize.

Sometimes the rules by which I live my life may seem fiddly or arbitrary, but there are always reasons. Please, if you want to receive something free from me, follow the rules which I have set for that reward.

Thank you.

This kinda stuff always freaking baffles me. Because... how hard is it, to follow instructions?!?! APPARENTLY VERY HARD, IDKWTF.

Sorry you have to deal with such ridiculousness.

You would think fans of urban fantasy would be better-than-average at following rules, given how often fairy stories hinge upon exactly that. And yet!

It's okay, it's just...tiring.

...I'm pretty sure that this sort of thing shouldn't actually need to be explained, and I'm kind of worried that anyone has put you in the situation where you do have to explain it...

To borrow a line from Spike, "Someone wasn't worthy." :)

Nope!

Even when I was six, they were typed and double-spaced.
