Decided to start a new thread, since this is my forum, and I can do stuff like that.
We have a time for the pre-release! It will be Saturday, August 18th at 6:00 p.m.
I'd like to bring some prizes for give-always like we did last year to encourage people to come. The thing is, I don't like giving away free books since...well, everyone there will have bought one in order to get into the drawing. Seems a little redundant.
So, what do you folks consider to be a good prize for something like this? Last year, I gave away some of the working manuscripts (early drafts) of some of my books. I might be able to dig up an old Alcatraz manuscript and give it away, and maybe something else like that. That sort of thing good enough?
If I were REALLY on the ball, I'd have some of the "Collected bonus materials for Elantris" books printed and ready to give away as prizes, but I don't think those will be ready until around December.
Any other thoughts?
