For those of you who didn't know, Julie Kagawa is holding a contest. She's offering up an ARC (advanced Reading Copy) of her newest Iron Fey book, called The Iron Knight, And it doesn't come out until November. I'm totally stoked about the book, and I can't wait until it comes out. I really don't stand a chance of winning this thing, but it's worth a shot. I've never owned an ARC before. I've always wondered what it was like to have an ARC... It's like... seeing the future...
WAIT!! I forgot the rules, I might as well explain them. She asked, if you could have a day with Puck or ASH, what would you do with him?
Anyways, here it goes!
No contest there. A day with Ash all the way, sorry Puck.
Okay, first off, I would probably end up poking his arm to make sure that he was really there. After I made sure that he was not another figment of my overactive imagination, I would probably stifle a cackle of glee, because ASH IS REALLY HERE! I'M NOT CRAZY!
At this point, Ash would probably be looking at me strangely. Which wouldn't be that noticeable, since I'm not used to deciphering his near emotionless looks. Then again, he might think that I'm an enemy. Before he hacks me to pieces with his sword, I'll assure him that I'm definitely not his enemy, and am only mortal.
Then, I would probably ask him if he knows how to ice skate, and if he did, could he teach me, because I've never been ice skating. I've always wanted to learn how and learning how to ice skate from the Prince of Winter himself would make the experience a hundred times greater.
He'd probably be a little surprised that I've never seen actual snow either, so maybe he could use a little of that mystical ice glamour and make it snow... at least for a minute.
He might give me the cold shoulder, (hehe, okay, that was a pretty bad pun.) but then I'd remind him that I knew that his heart belonged to Meghan, and I totally and completely understand. I'm not even attempting to replace Meghan.
Maybe, if he loosened up a bit, we would go through a Fey gate, a shortcut to somewhere where it snows regularly. Maybe even somewhere in the Winter Court.
He would totally beat me in a snowball fight, since he's been a Winter Prince for centuries and I'm a newbie at the whole 'snow' thing.
He might even show me around a little bit, if he's feeling generous. Maybe a short hike through a forest of the snow capped pines of the NeverNever.
Who knows, I've always, always wanted to learn how to sword-fight. He could use glamour to form one for me out of ice. He could teach me to duel, like he taught Meghan. Besides, I've always wanted to see exactly what his legendary sword looked like...
After all that happened, I would still be in shock, silently wondering when I was going to wake up from this, because it would be too amazing to be true.
I would wish him the best of luck on his most recent quest and tell him that I would be rooting for him and to never lose faith in Meghan or himself, because some things, like love, are worth fighting for. To many people forget that.
Ash would take me through the Fey gate and back to my house. Then, he would turn and leave, not looking back. Then, like the snow of winter melts and disappeared in the warmth of spring, Ash would disappear; leaving me wondering if everything was really just a dream.
THE END!!!
why is it that weird color?! Jeez... Computers hate me. Here's a link to the contest page, if anyone's interested.
