The Giveaway

Imogene: Hi, Imogene here. If Hollie had her way, we'd be giving roasted chickens, so I'm doing the giveaway announcement.

Elle: What do you mean, we'd be giving chickens?

Imogene: I mean, Hollie wouldn't share her chocolates and Bre wouldn't give her spaceship, so I don't see what else we have... actually, do we even have prizes for this thing? Imogene turns around and yells behind her. Guys, did anyone work out the prizes?

Bre, very serious: Why don't I get a new spaceship now to make up for it?

Ana: No one has the ability to give you a spaceship, Bre.

Bre: Well, why can't the giveaway be for FANTASCI members instead? I'm sure I could get a spaceship that way.

Wren and Bird, together: Well, if you ask us, we're pretty glad Hollie isn't giving away roasted chickens. Us birds have to stick together.

Hollie, appearing out of the blue and seeming to only catch the tail end of that conversation: Are we making name puns? Because I brelieve I can make great puns. It's in my genes.

Bre: Wait, did someone say prizes? I want a prize!

Nick, sighing: Bre, the giveaway is for Wattpad, not you. Also, can we get on with the giveaway now? I need to get back to my goats.

Kat: Yes, my cats need attention, too. Also, did you know that the only correct way to describe cats is that they're "floofy"?

Bre, giggling: It's true, it's true.

Angie, grabbing the mic: I'll do the announcement because it's very clear that none of you are going to and I'm the only responsible one of the group.

A collective snort. Or was that one of Nick's goats...

Angie, being a great actress, completely ignores this: To celebrate our revival, we're going to be having a giveaway - and there's a multitude of prizes.

In the background, someone yells, "Not including any livestock!"

"Shut up," someone else mutters. "Someone is actually doing something productive for once."

Angie, slightly more ruffled now, continues: We're having not one, not two, not three, not four, but five giveaways in total! To join, simply tag three people in the comments and specify which giveaway you're entering. You can enter as many as you want, but you can only win one.

Elle takes the mic because apparently it's her turn for the spotlight: Giveaways 1, 2, 3 and 4 are for writers, and giveaway 5 is for designers. The winner of giveaway 1 will win a custom playlist, editing and proofreading services (exact details of this to be discussed) and a book review. Giveaway 2's winner will get an account theme and chapter banners. Giveaway 3's winner will get a multitude of graphics, including covers. Giveaway 4's winner will get book covers, a profile banner, a gif and a chapter banner. Elle pants, having said all of that in one breath.

Ana relives her of her attempt to break the world record for speed-speaking: Giveaway 5, aka the one for designers, will involve an inspiration pack and a resource pack, both customised. And please let us know if you have any questions!

Bre: Ooh, but can I enter? Please? Pretty please? With a spaceship on top?

Hollie: Just because you said with a spaceship on top, I'm going to have to say no. If you offered me chicken, though...

Imogene: No. Also, who added that ATROCITY of a roasted chicken emoji to our Discord?

Bre giggled. Or was that a cluck?

Bird: Honestly, we'd be lucky if we even got any entries for this giveaway... it doesn't even seem to make sense.

Hollie: Yeah, and the prizes don't include chickens nor chocolate.

Bre: Or a spaceship.

Nick, despairing: It's a miracle we even manage to get anything done...
