Hi everybody!
Okay, here is your ONLY chance to have a say in WHAT or WHO next weeks poll will be about and which author be in it. So, if you are talking about this on other groups, fan forums etc. you will want to get all those people here to weigh in with their choices. First answer this question: What Paranormal group BESIDES vamps, paranormal couples, series, sidekicks, heroines or shifters do you want to have represented.
For example:
Sexiest Character
Best Slayer (vampire, demon, zombie etc.)
Funniest Character
Bad Guys/Villains
Group Leader (alpha, boss etc.)
Heroes
Witches/Wizards/Spellslingers
Best Paranormal Weapon
Best Paranormal Ability
Secondary Characters
Demons
Angels
Dynamic Duos
These are just some examples of categories, feel free to come up with your own. Just keep it simple.
Be SURE to list the author (s) you want to win with the category choice you make. Please pick only TWO categories and TWO authors /characters to go with them. It CAN be the same author for the categories you choose. You have through Sunday night at 11:59 pm to comment here and get your friends here to cast your informal vote. I will put all of the votes into the random number generator and pick ONE Topic for the poll.
Next I will put all the authors from that selection into the random number generator and I will pick TEN authors and their characters from those results. The poll will go up sometime on Monday. Here is the direct link to this post where you can send your friends: http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=8307 So, if you want to see your favorite author/character win you have to vote here. No voting?
