Have you read Faerie Blood? Want to blurb my Kickstarter?

[annathepiper]

Kickstarter update time, people!

I’m deep in talks with my cover artist to finalize reward levels, and decide on tasty, tasty rewards to offer you guys (I ain’t going into public details yet, but you may assume that the words ‘cover art’ and ‘prints’ are being liberally thrown around in this conversation). And I’ve got to think about what the hell to put into a video for this thing before I submit it to the Kickstarter people for review!

But this is a potential point for you, yes YOU, O Internets, to come in even before the Kickstarter gets off the ground!

If you’ve read Faerie Blood, I need your help. I’d love, love, love to have brief pithy reader reaction blurbs I could quote on the Kickstarter’s project page. Funny quotes would be especially awesome! Really funny quotes I’d also be eying as potential fodder to be read out loud, by yours truly, in the project video.

So if you want in on this, talk to me! Anybody who contributes a suitable reader reaction quote will totally get something shiny out of the Kickstarter rewards pool!

I'm going to have to look for things I may have said about the book when it was fresher in my mind. If there's anything you think you can do with the scene we wrote together between Tam and Christopher, feel free to reuse that as well.

You might also want to talk with Dr_Pretentious, who had some great things to say about the book when recommending it to me.

OK--just sent you a short comment via e-mail. Hope the address I have for you is still current.

It is and thank you again! :D

How about this:

Kendis Thompson's quick-thinking geekery surprised and delighted me, start to finish. Traditional faerie lore gets some really fresh twists, including a stunning moment that is the most moving take on the magic of true names I've seen since A Wizard of Earthsea.

OMG, seriously, you're invoking LeGuin on me? *^_^*;; Holy crap, thank you!

And, um, wow, can I maybe use that last bit on the actual cover?

[dr-pretentious.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am, and yes, you may. I think it'll work best if you use the whole sentence. The true name magic in the book starts out so familiar, it's a wonderful shock when you turn it around the way you do.

Looking forward to doing further signal boost!

Oh wow thank you so much, again!

Dara's doing the layout and we're not sure yet if we'll be able to fit the quote on the cover--but if not, it's totally going on a review quotes page inside!
