Okay, so many of you have commented and emailed (man, have you emailed), bemoaning the fact that you can’t draw, and thus can’t enter my contest.

Huh??

Since when are the visual arts limited to drawing?

Minions, you can draw, paint, sculpt, photograph, and multimedia your way into winning this thing. If it’s a scene from my books and fits the other criteria (See Win Things for details), then you can enter it.

So go forth and kicketh much bootay. Auntie Heather commandeth.

There’s a new shirt up on Zazzle, Minions – if you love Otis, you might want to check it out.

Many members of the Minion Horde are creative types, and those of you who are are going to eat this news up and leave it for dead in some back alley somewhere. Those of you who aren’t…well, now’s your chance to try something new!

Auntie Heather is holding an art contest!!! Details on my Win Things page. Have fun with it, my Minions. I look forward to seeing your entries! (But I don’t look forward to judging this contest, as so many of you are so richly talented, it ought to be an impossible task to pick my absolute faves…)

He’s got my vote!

Dying to talk about Vlad? Need somewhere to rant about D’Ablo? Looking for people who know what you’re talking about when you mention Elysia? Join the chatter! Let’s talk about the series – I’ll answer questions, you can discuss any details you like, and we can hash what makes Vlad such a lovable little bloodsucker. =

Note: this discussion is also going on on MySpace.
