CAPTIVE PRINCE NEEDS YOU... for the SEMI FINAL!
If anyone has a spare 10 seconds to scroll down and click the link to vote for Captive Prince by Freece, I would appreciate it. She's the last slash author going up against a slate of het romancers. I'd love to see her beat the odds. The voting for this round ends today (April 5th) at noon CST, so don't put it off. Thank you! *hugs*

SEMI FINALS!
Captive Prince is now in the semi finals of the DABWAHA awards, the ultimate drag-down book contest where bribes are allowed! And to help it win, you need to vote!
This is going to be our most epic battle yet . . . expect it to go right down to the wire like it never has before!
This round, we face the amazing Beverly Jenkins, a romance superstar, with thirty books and two career achievement awards behind her. It is an unbelievable privilege for me to even be against someone like this... and a huge challenge. Her fans are some of the most awesome, passionate and engaged in the competition - just like you guys - so it is going to be a truly epic vote!
Let’s make this a fun vote that celebrates our enthusiasm and show DABWAHA that:

NEED INCENTIVE TO VOTE? HERE ARE MY BRIBES
I hereby pledge that if Captive Prince wins DABWAHA, I will:
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
Every round, I reveal a fun new ~mystery bribe~ adding it to the pot to increase the overall stakes as the competition goes on!
And for the Semi Final Mystery Bribe:
BUT WITH ALL THESE EXTRAS HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE REAL BRIBE?
Maybe I should remind you... of the snippet from this scene in book 3 ;)

BUT to win DABWAHA, we first have to win the quarter finals! Like last vote, the polls are only open until noon CST so this is a "morning vote" for the Americans, with only a few hours to cast your vote. So vote now! Vote like crazy! Call on your friends to vote!

Only one vote is counted per IP address- it's completely ok to hit up your family members to vote or to vote at home and at work, or on your phone and computer, and so on, but that’s the line people - DABWAHA runs a clean ship!
LET'S DO THIS!

NEED INCENTIVE TO VOTE? HERE ARE MY BRIBES
I hereby pledge that if Captive Prince wins DABWAHA, I will:
- * Release a sneak-peek snippet from the book three manuscript * Post a DVD commentary for the sex scene in book two, complete with sexual position analysis! * Do a manuscript-writing livestream, where I write live, and you guys can come and hang out and chat and comment (I always love when visual artists do this) * An unofficial book 3 cover (let's call it a skin!) according to the original design concept in downloadable form for any who are curious what it would have looked like, and for all you readers who bought the original ebooks and want an image that matches to use on your ereaders when the Penguin version comes out * A Guess The Regent's Name Competition! I will host a competition that will give readers twenty-four hours to guess, and at the end of the day I will reveal the Regent's name. The first reader to have guessed correctly will receive a free copy of the books, signed and personalised if they wish. * A sketch of Laurent from E of Teahouse fame. That's right. E. Teahouse. Laurent. TEA PRINCES, PEOPLE.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
Every round, I reveal a fun new ~mystery bribe~ adding it to the pot to increase the overall stakes as the competition goes on!
And for the Semi Final Mystery Bribe:
- * A short series of writing meta posts detailing the specific writing techniques I learned and used when I stopped writing fanfic and started to write original fiction. I often get asked about this - plotting techniques, ideas-generation techniques etc - so I thought some of you might find it useful!
