Name the Lissaverse--Time To Vote

NAME THE LISSAVERSE SUGGESTIONS

Here is the final* list of suggestions made for the Lissaverse. Many thanks to those who've submitted their suggestions, and good luck!

*Please note that I received a last-minute submission yesterday, and one of the suggestions was a duplicate. I have given them until tomorrow to submit a replacement.

Now's the time to submit your votes. You can vote for up to three suggestions. You're allowed to vote for your own, but I hope you vote for someone else's, too, otherwise this could be a really short (and weird) giveaway. You have until December 1, 2012, to submit your votes. Just send them to me at connie@subtledemon.com.

 If you've entered and don't see your suggestion on the following list, let me know by posting here or sending me an email. I'll make corrections post-haste J
Happy weekend, everybody!

NOTE: Some folks were kind enough to include meanings with their suggestions. Many thanks!

Reminder: Here are the rules as originally submitted:
1.     Up to 3 suggestions will be accepted per person.
2.     The suggestion(s) must be emailed to me at connie@subtledemon.com
3.     If the same suggestion is made by more than one person, the one who submitted the suggestion first (as indicated by time/date on email) will be the one accepted. If your suggestion is voided by a previous submission, you may submit another suggestion, as long as it does not exceed the 3 per person rule.
4.     Deadlines will be enforced.
5.     Votes will only be accepted by email (connie@subtledemon.com), from list of suggestions posted on my blog after the submission deadline.
6.     Top ten choices will receive:
6-10 (as determined by number of votes) will receive a signed copy of Blood Wager or Bumble, your choice.
2-5 (as determined by number of votes) will receive a signed copy of Blood Wager or Bumble (your choice) and a signed poster print of the cover of your choice (has to be one of my books. Can't get you a copy of somebody else's cover. Sorry).
The Grand Suggester (as determined by me and my editor) will receive naming rights to the Lissaverse, plus a kindle Paperwhite, plus a signed poster of the cover of their choice and a signed copy of both Blood Wager and Bumble.

So, here's your chance to name the Lissaverse. Get those suggestions in, and I'll do my best to regularly list the suggestions made here on the blog, so you'll know what's already been submitted. Be creative. Have fun. Good Luck!

Please note: by submitting a suggestion, you agree to release rights to the name selected should it be chosen, and no further compensation will be made, now or in the future.

This is my first giveaway. If all goes well and everybody plays fair, there may be others in the future.

    Okay, I think that one was more ham than prose ... sorry.

    I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank you, Connie!", for the contest, for the books, and for the time you spend with us, your fans. It is appreciated.
