Today marks the Sixth Anniversary of this here hot pink website. Our first review was posted January 30, 2005 – a review of Sharon Shinn’s Angel-Seeker. Wow, huh? I’m sort of shocked and amazed and ready to party!
The official gifts of the Sixth Anniversary are… wait, don’t have anything liquid in your mouth, ok? … iron, candy, and WOOD.
Oh, this is going to be fun. It’s giveaway time! To celebrate our sixth anniversary, I’m giving away the following prizes:
That’s 4lbs of chocolate covered cherries, an iron, a 5lb bag of wood, and a Hello Kitty vibrator (a much better substitute for the wood, because it’s woody-like).
All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me six things you love about reading romance novels, and you’re entered to win. Standard disclaimers apply. Void where prohibited by law. I ship internationally when possible. Take your shoes off. Wash your hands. Any resemblance to iron wood made of candy is completely coincidental. No chocolate was harmed in the creation of this contest.
You have 48 hours to leave a comment, and I’ll select the winners at random. I know you all want that iron, right? RIGHT? Right. Of course!
Happy Sixth Anniversary to us – thank you for being here to make the site as fun and fantastic as it is. I’m so glad to know you visit every day to talk romance, man titty, and general mayhem.
How do I love romance novels? Let me count the ways:
1) Kick-ass heroines who don’t NEED a man to rescue them.
2) Witty heroines who have their repartee ready on the spot, not six hours later, like me.
3) Flusterable heroines, whose repartee is always six hours behind, like me.
4) Happy heroes who don’t mind kick-ass heroines who can verbally spar with them on an equal basis.
5) Tightly woven plots which build suspense/sexual tension/emotional connection to a bang-up satisfying finish.
6) Authors who have big vocabularies and aren’t afraid to use them and aren’t willing to “dumb down” their writing.
six things i love about romance novels….
1. THE NAMES: omfg…. i love made up names so much. HANK GOODLORD and KEENA SHYBERRY soooo great….
2. the hair: THE GLORIOUS HAIR, so much glorious descriptions at length
3. the fabulously skewed versions of historic storytelling!!!! WHY YES, THIS PIRATE DID EXIST…. AND HE WAS BETTER THAN BLUEBEARD
4. the creative sex…. the more positions they try.. THE MORE SERIOUS THEY ARE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE/IT’S COMPLICATED
5. finding out what color the heroine’s eyes are… THEY”RE ALWAYS PURPLE CAUSE THEY”RE SO UNIQUE LIKE EVERY OTHER WILL BE PRINCESS
6. The ‘plot’.
also, i’m desperately in need of all these things.. but especially the iron (sadly) i just *WANT* the chocolate…. lol
