Giveaway: Mass Effect Revelation for Sci-Fi Month and N7 Day on Video Games as Literature!

 Welcome once again to #SciFiMonth, hosted this year by Lisa at Dear Geek Place and Imyril at OneMore.org! This is my introduction post AND announcement of a Video Games as Literature special giveaway!

I have a lot on my plate this month, so once again I don't know how often I will be able to post for #SciFiMonth, but as usual I am here to celebrate N7 Day and one of the greatest Sci-Fi franchises of all time: Mass Effect! I've tried to do something related to Mass Effect every year in November, as you can see here and here. This year, I have a giveaway! Without further ado, here are the details:

I am giving away one (1) pre-owned copy of Mass Effect: Revelation by Drew Kerpyshyn, the first book in the Mass Effect book series! I felt that giving away a book based on a video game would fit the theme of my blog, Video Games as Literature, quite nicely. This book was purchased at a local used bookstore (please help small businesses like used bookstores stay open, everyone!), so it it NOT in perfect new condition. It has some shelf wear and a few cracks in the spine. Please take a look at the picture below, and keep scrolling to find out how to enter the giveaway!

This is a giveaway for one pre-owned paperback book, Mass Effect: Revelation by Drew Kerpyshyn. The giveaway is for US residents only (I can't go into the Post Office to mail an international package due to the pandemic -- I'm sorry!). The giveaway starts TODAY, November 5, 2020, and ends on #N7Day -- November 7, 2020 at the end of the day (11:59pm EST). I will not publically announce the winner, but I will contact the winner after a winner is chosen at random. To enter, please do at least one of the following:

• Comment on this blog post. Please include contact information such as a Twitter or Instagram handle! Also make sure you have messaging turned on if you give me a social media contact.
• On Twitter, RETWEET my post (@videogamesaslit) about the giveaway AND comment on the tweet.
• On Instagram, SHARE my post (@videogamesaslit) about the giveaway to your stories AND comment on it! (Make sure you tag me when you share to your stories so I can see it!)

To recieve multiple entries into the contest, you may do all three of the above! Good luck everyone, and keelah se'lai!

Video Games as Literature 2.0

Felicitations, friends, family, and faithful followers!

Now that I've gotten my alliteration over with... Can you believe it, I'm alive! After a brief struggle with a doctoral program, I am now taking time to focus on my health and my writing for a while. Here I will outline my plans for the near future and some information you should know about:

I have been spending a lot of time focusing on my Video Games as Literature Instagram account. You can check that out here: @ringwraith_games_and_lit

My Master's Thesis has been published online. If you are interested in reading it, here is the link: Master's Thesis

I am late to the party, but I am planning to participate in SciFi Month November once again this month. Here's some information about that.

I will also be changing the way that I post on this blog, to make life easier for me and to make my posts more interesting for my readers. Instead of writing a scholarly essay for each post, I will be interspersing more casual writing like reviews and maybe a few opinion pieces here and there. Please remember that this is a troll-free zone -- all comments are moderated and trolling and hateful behavior will not be tolerated in any way.

I have several posts lined up to write, so please stay tuned for more stimulating material on the way!

Oh, I almost forgot! Happy N7 Day, everyone! May we all remember the days when Bioware made good games. If you want to see some N7 Day material, check out my Instagram account, where I have made a few posts for the occasion!

Also don't forget to follow me on Twitter for the latest updates!

I would also like to briefly thank a couple of blogs which have helped me to update the look of my own blog and make it more accessible:
Life of a Blind Girl
Jessica Out of the Closet
