Tor.com started today their Winter Solstace Giveaway, finishing on, you guessed it, December 21st, 2010. They have a wide range of prizes from fun to really fantastic.
Here’s what today’s prize is (time to qualify for this is up at 4:13 pm EST), as an example:
The Solstice Countdown Day #1 giveaway is the new hardcover edition
of Songs of the Dying Earth: Stories in Honor of Jack Vance, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois!
This anthology, coming out next Tuesday, December 7th from Tor Books,features a lot of big names, including Neil Gaiman, Tad Williams, George R. R. Martin, Elizabeth Moon, Kage Baker, Robert Silverberg, and many more.
We’re also throwing in (actually, placing gently, because…the size of this thing…) a hardcover edition ofWarriors, an anthology of new stories from just as mighty a group of science fiction and fantasy writers (Carrie Vaughn! Naomi Novik! David Weber! Robin Hobb!), also edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois.
The drawings are daily, done randomly, and the prizes are only available for a limited time, so you’ll have to keep your eye out (they provide some examples on how to stay on top of it).
All the info you’ll need about it is here.
