On the thirteenth day of Hogswatch, your Seanan gave away...

[seanan_mcguire]

...a MYSTERY!

Welcome to the thirteenth of the Twelve Days of Hogswatch. This is the last giveaway, and is numerically surprising. Surprise! Each giveaway will have different rules, and a different deadline, although all prizes will be mailed on December 29th, because I am bad at going to the post office (and also, still mailing shirts).

The thirteenth giveaway is for a mystery prize. What is it? NO ONE KNOWS, NOT EVEN ME. This is going to be a random number drawing, because that's working well so far.

1. To enter, comment on this post.
2. If you are international, indicate that you are willing/able to pay postage.
3. Tell me one thing you hope your prize is not. Do not tell me what you hope it is; if you do that, you will be ineligible to win.

I will choose the winner at 1PM PST on Sunday, December 27th.

MYSTERY PRIZE!

Game on!

Ftang! I hope it's not... I dunno, a pathogen?

Mysteries are fun! (US)

Commenting! (in US)

I hope that the prize is not a box of bees. I'm decidedly unfond of bees, at least bees in my mailbox.

I hope the Mystery Prize is not candy corn, for two reasons: I dislike it, and I would rather you keep it for yourself, to keep you happy.

comment. I'm domestic.

I hope it's not a box of Cards Against Humanity Bullshit inna Box.

I hope it's not a live snake. Because I could definitely see you sending a live snake through the mail. (Well, maybe you'd feel bad for the snake if you did that. But you could definitely find a way, because you're creative like that. But please don't try to find a way...)

I would hope that it wasn't an octopus, because that seems mean to the octopus.

NYC here.

I hope my prize isn't... a late book in a series, because I've been wanting to start one of your non-Newsflesh series (read and loved all of Newsflesh), and it'd be frustrating to have something on my shelf that I can't read until I've bought and read through a bunch of other books first (limited pocket money and free time).

Oooh! Mystery! (In the US)

[tigertoy.livejournal.com]

Hi! Still very much non-international. And hoping that my prize isn't having my name known round the world as the index case of a novel hemorrhagic fever.

[nutmeg-44.livejournal.com]

I hope it's not a Maths text book or a bottle of Cod Liver Oil. Ick!

[l-o-lostshadows.livejournal.com]

I hope its not the complete works of James Joyce, because 1)bleh! and 2)it wouldn't make any sense.

I hope it's not a tapeworm of my very own, even though I've got asthma and I've read there are people using tapeworms to treat it.

Mystery prize? I'm not much of a t-shirt person. (In California)

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

I hope my prize is not a vial of a presumed extinct disease with a broken seal.

[lydy.livejournal.com]

I am in the US, and I hope it is not a box of rabid weasels.

[rollick.livejournal.com]

Ha! I was going to say "a bag of rabid weasels," then figured I should check to make sure someone hadn't already taken it. Because I'm betting there are a bunch of people out there who really don't want rabid weasels regardless of packaging.

Mysteries!

I hope it isn't a paradox.

[prefixmancer.livejournal.com]

I hope it isn't a bobcat. They're never as cuddly as they look.

[universal-gm.livejournal.com]

I hope it isn't a kitten. Not that there's anything wrong with kittens, I just am not sure the house or my sanity can survive another one.

[asmadasrabbits.livejournal.com]

I like surprises! I hope it isn't a cat because I already have far too many.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

A rawhide chew toy, as my cats just aren't into that.

[semperfiona]

Yay mystery!

[amberfox.livejournal.com]

Ooh, shiny...?

[laurapatrick.livejournal.com]

I hope it is not a hippopotamouse. One - I'm not sure what to feed it. Two - My child would try to ride it. I don't have a saddle that small!
