The Wandering Men are happy to announce that we have a winner for this contest (which is, of course, now closed). None other than...

Rob McDonald
(also known as "monsmord" on our forums)

...has won with his accurate discovery of a typo in Seaborn Sentinel!

We'd like to thank Rob from the bottom of our hearts and, as a winner, he'll receive a free copy of Skein of Shadows, and has received a Proofreading credit in the book to boot! Congrats, Rob!


The Wandering Men are happy to announce our first contest, as we think that we've got a real doozy for ya! You see, we've proofed and edited the Skein of Shadows novellas until our eyes have bled, rebelled, launched an offensive against our brains and finally, given up and simply left on holiday. So, we thought it'd be a great idea to see if you, the fans, could find any "oopses" that we might have inadvertently missed. It's called the Proof 'da PDF Contest, and participating is as easy as can be... All you have to do is:

  • Buy a copy of one (or all) of the upcoming Skein of Shadows novellas in PDF(s). ==> See the linked images below <==
  • Proofread it.
  • By the deadline, post, in our Official Proof 'da PDF Contest forum thread, a correction that has not yet been posted (i.e. no duplications).

If your correction is valid, then you'll win a copy of the Skein of Shadows softcover in November! Also, you may even get a credit in the book as a Proofreader! Check out all the RULES below:


RULES for the "PROOF 'DA PDF CONTEST!"

  • In order to be considered "valid", the "correction" CANNOT BE STYLE-BASED, BUT CAN ONLY BE A TYPO. For example: "to" instead of "too"; "theer" instead of "there"; "it's" instead of "its", and so forth.
  • Your correction CANNOT be a duplication of a previously posted or "validated" correction.
  • Your correction MUST be posted here: http://www.plotstorming.com/forum/index.php?topic=592.0 no later than October 13, 2007. NOTE: We reserve the right to move this date around a bit, if needed...
  • Your correction MUST be sanctioned as "valid" by one of the Wandering Men (Ashy, Nathan, Lord Lyon, Davis, Hall) or Neal Levin.

That's it! So get to proofin' and postin'!
