First Wedding Anniversary Comment Contest

by JM

heart.jpgI love spreading the love, especially when something good is happening in my life. That’s why, to celebrate my first wedding anniversary, I am giving away some sweet prizes (pun fully intended). And it’s easy for you to win!

So, what is the contest… Well, I am holding Fiction Scribe’s very first 100 comments contest. What does that mean? That means we are going to try to get to 100 comments on this site in one month – from today (May 5th) to June 5th.

Can you do it, dear readers? I think you can. Why? Because I have some very nice prizes to give away…

I have two prize packs to give away, each of which include: 1 stationary set, 1 chocolate bar, stickers, and other Australian goodies.

I love my sweets, so I also have two 200g blocks of chocolate to give away.

Gasp! Yes, you read right! I am giving away chocolate.

I also have a very special prize to give to the 100th commenter: a bag of Australia’s delectable honeycomb and chocolate treat – Violet Crumbles. Mmm. Not only that, but also a selection of Australian goodies picked out by yours truly. PLUS your choice of either “No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog” OR “How to Say It: Business Writing that Works”.

And all you have to do is comment…

If you comment on this post, tell me what you like about Fiction Scribe. I would love some feedback from readers here.

After that, any comment you leave on any posts (starting May 5th and up to June 5th) will be included in the contest. I’ll be keeping track of everything, so you don’t have to worry about anything other than stopping by and having your say.

See? It’s easy! So tell your friends to stop by and comment.

My husband has chosen four random numbers, each in one section of numbers. (One number between 1 and 25, one number between 25 and 50, etc.) If one of your comments lands on one of those numbers, then you will have your very own prize on its way to you all the way from Australia!

Be sure to check back often because I will announce the winners as they match up with the number comment. Also make sure you always comment with a valid email address.

So spread the word and spread the love people. It’s my anniversary!

    I like the posts where you give info I might be interested in. Sometimes I am, sometimes I’m not, but I always check for submissions and industry stuff, just in case.

  2. Sharyn Says:

    May your second year be even better than your first, congratulations

  3. Elizabeth Says:

    Happy Anniversary. It’d be hard to pick one thing I like FictionScribe for. I think mostly I like that there’s always a variety of things to read: writing tips and tricks, interviews and submission information - it’s all good.

  4. Penelope Anne Says:

    Many blessings today on your first anniversary, may each additional moment in your lives continue to be sweet and inspirational.

  5. JM Says:

    Gillian - I’ve been told that submissions are always a big one and I need to keep up with that. :)

    Sharyn - Many thanks, lovely lady. :)

    Penelope - Thank you very much. :D

  6. Sandra Says:

    Congrats on your first wedding anniversary!

    I love reading about new authors and the humor. Great contest!

  7. margie Says:

    congratulations on your anniversary and thank you for sharing the love!

  8. the Wandering Author Says:

    Congratulations on your anniversary! Sorry I didn’t make it here on ‘the day’, life intervened.

    Personally, I find the posts on submissions wanted, and those on issues of interest to writers, the most valuable, but I also enjoy any of the discussions on writing or issues surrounding writing.

  9. Gillian Says:

    I need that chocolate now. I should never have agreed to a Prohibition banquet (and yes, I’m blogging the whole drinks-testing experience; please feel free to laugh at me).

  10. JM Says:

    Sandra - Thank you. :) I reckon I definitely need to add in more writer/author humor.

    Margie - Thanks for stopping by. Sharing the love is what I love to do. ;)

    Wandering Author - No worries at all. The different time zones alone make things a bit difficult.

    Hm, yes, submissions information can always be increased. :) Thank you for your input.

    Gillian - I was going to volunteer for drink experimentation, but I’m making an effort for healthier living and staying with the occasional red wine.

    And I would never laugh. ;)

  11. JM Says:

    Elizabeth - I’m glad you like what is on Fiction Scribe. :) I’m glad you like the variety.

  12. Gillian Says:

    I just realised I’ve said everything except “Happy Anniersary”. I know I said it elsewhere, but it’s so wrong that it not be said on this anniversary blogpost. Happy Anniversary - may the two of you reach 120 in perfect ahrmony.

  13. Ann LuMaye Says:

    Happy Anniversary! I’m excited to be a part of 451 Press bloggers and love your site. I’ll be checking in to see what new and great things you have to share. Especially since finding out you’re a fellow scrapaholic!! Annie :)

  14. JM Says:

    Gillian - No worries. :) You said it on my livejournal, so it’s all good.

    Ann - Thanks for stopping by! It’s always a pleasure to meet a fellow scrappie. :)
