Andromeda Spaceways' Error -- You Might Benefit

Oops?

Dear Andromeda Spaceways,

On 18 September 2009 I received not one, but two copies of ASIM #40. Now I received more than one copy of issues #38 and #39 because I had stories in those issues, so I received my subscription copies as well my contributor copies. But I do not have a story in issue #40.

If you are willing, I would take the extra copy of ASIM #40 and give it away to a good home via my LiveJournal blog -- http://dr-phil-physics.livejournal.com/ . Perhaps we can get someone else to subscribe -- I've certainly been pushing ASIM the last few months.

Thank you!

Dr. Phil

And Fixed

Hey Dr. Phil,
Thanks for that. All fixed up now. Very happy for you to pass on your extra copies and drum up any business you can for us.

kind regards,

David

A Free Copy of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine

So I have this extra copy of ASIM -- Australia's premier Science Fiction magazine -- and I'd like to give this Issue #40 to a good home. As I've mentioned before, anyone can subscribe to Andromeda Spaceways, either in print or as PDFs. I'm very fond of ASIM -- and I was fond of them long before they published two of my stories. (grin)

The Giveaway Rules

So the same people don't win all the time, I'm going to annoy my closest friends and request that this giveaway is NOT open to my extended SF/F family. That'd be (1) my actual family, (2) 2004 Clarion attendees, (3) WOTF XXIV winners, and (4) fellow members of the nefarious UCF. Also, (5) people who already get ASIM -- after all, the goal is to get a copy to someone who hasn't had a chance to get this Australian SF magazine before.

First person who requests in the comments in this posting and isn't a member of (1) to (5) above -- it's yours. Don't put your snail mail address in the posting -- no point in making it easy for the Nigerian Ministry of Oil people -- I'll let you know how to get an address to me. (grin)

And Yes...

... I do have a pile of books I promised in an earlier giveaway -- I haven't forgotten you. Really! I have all the mailers and just have to go back and find the emails and print the address labels.

Someday I have to remember I don't have a shipping department who does this stuff for me.

Oh my. Am I actually first?

Am not family, never attended any Clarion group, certainly am not a WotF winner of any number, have no idea as to what the notorious UCF is, and don't already subscribe...

Well, considering that the last drawings I had here and at UCF BOTH netted winners from the UCF, I had to find some way to make someone else happy for a change.

You do get more free goodies than anyone else here at LJ, O Sister O Mine.

Yes, and they are mucho appreciated...

But if I didn't poke you with a stick from time to time you'd think I was broken. I'm the big sister, that's my job!

Which is why I have to whack you in the kneecaps from time to time to set you straight. It's all love.

Come on now, not the knees! They're bad enough.

Head and shoulders- fair game. Knees & ankles- off limits.

How will you learn if we don't pick on the hard stuff? (evil grin)

I mean, really, the head?

I'm sorry.

But There Can Be Only One.

Ah yes, speaking of the previous giveaway. I wondered whether that got sent. ;) My work address I sent before is now my ex-work address, so lemme update you with a different one. >.>

Yeah. I think if I had been giving away one book, it would've been done, but with several different contests in different places, I have six to send out, which makes it a "chore" or a "production" at the very least. Like I said. Sometimes I suck.
