A contest for your delectation

stillsostrangeAfter cleaning my closets, I discovered many more copies of The Drowning City than I thought I had. And so I turn to the time-honored tradition of having an LJ contest to give some away. My Minister of Contests, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tanaise, has decreed that this will be an artistic contest.
If you would like a signed copy of TDC with a mermaid or octopus or sea monster doodle (or another doodle--I take requests), all you need to do is:
Make a book trailer for The Bone Palace. I need to make a real one in the next couple months, and I need inspiration. Yours doesn't have to be good, of course. If you make a good one I'll give you more than a book. Stick figures and storyboards made in MS Paint are perfectly acceptable. If you make me laugh hard enough to have a post-bronchitis coughing fit you automatically win.
OR
Draw cover art for Kingdoms of Dust. I'm breathlessly awaiting preliminary art from Orbit, but I would like more breath and less waiting. So draw something to inspire me! I can't post the blurb yet because it has spoilers for TBP, but the book has deserts, jinn, spies, and formless entropy monsters.
If you're not artistic but still want a book, I'm open to suggestions for different kinds of contests.

Would you be tempted by a supply of earrings? Something like the ones on these pages (http://www.boomspeed.com/magpie/c/EarringsP1.htm) but made just for you? I have more different earrings than I have photos-of-earrings.
How about a set of custom black leather cuffs? (don't currently have any photos of those but the blue cuffs on this page (http://www.boomspeed.com/magpie/) are the style I like to make)
Are you tempted at all?
