500 Followers Contest Extravaganza!

As promised I put together a special prize package during my trip to New York and I can finally announce the contest!

YAY!

To thank you all for hanging out with me on this crazy blog and all of your awesome comments and support, I'm giving away...

Will Grayson, Will Grayson
SIGNED by David Levithan and John Green


Looking For Alaska
SIGNED by John Green


Gimme A Call
SIGNED by Sarah Mlynowski

*Happy Dances*

The Contest: To enter, you must be a follower and then leave a comment below about any of these three awesome books and their authors. EASY!

But if you really, really, really want to win...there are things you can do.
+1 for commenting and being a follower...aka a Cool Person!
+2 tweeting contest link--(use @frankiediane so I can see it)
+2 sidebar linkage
+5 blog post
x2 for being an old follower (if you've been hanging out with me for awhile, (before this contest) I'll double all your points)

But there's ALSO...

Frankie's Infamous Grandfathering Points Hoopla Thingie

Basically, I like to reward people who do an awesome job on contest linkage and sending people my way. So for every follower you send me, I'll add up their points and add it to your points total! AND if someone you sent me sends me someone else, not only do they get all of the points of the 3rd person, but you do as well! I will grandfather everyone in, so for every person you send me, you get more points! And for every person you send me who sends me another person....you get the idea. MORE points for you.

And if you need an example...

Buttercup follows my blog. And she comments below by saying, "I'd love to win these books. I've been looking for a good read to accompany me on my daily ride with my horse--the only thing that brings me comfort when I'm not in the arms of my Westley."

And so, 1 point is awarded to Princess Buttercup.

But then she decides she wants more points. She desperately needs these books. So she sends word to Westley.
Buttercup: Westley, darling, you must follow Frankie's blog and enter her contest.

Westley: As you wish.

Buttercup: And tell her I sent you.

Westley: As you wish.

Buttercup: And shine my shoes.

Westley: Does that get you more contest points?

Buttercup: No, but my slippers are looking dodgey.

Westley: As you wish.

And so 2 points are awarded to Buttercup, and 1 point for Westley.

But then Westley wants more points....

Westley: Inigo, I need you to follow Frankie's blog.

Inigo: Will you fight me left-handed?

Westley: If you follow her blog and enter her contest and tell her I sent you, yes.

Inigo: Great. I'll go enter now. "Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You held a contest. And now I'm entered."

Westley: And tell her I sent you, or it's right-handed sword fighting for you!

Inigo: And Westely sent me!

So now, Inigo has 1 point, Westley has 2, and Buttercup has 3!

Cool?

Contest is open Internationally and ends SUNDAY, JUNE 6th 2010 at 11:59PM!
