The Fourth Comings Mini-Film Contest

Fourth Comings by Megan McCafferty Put fresh batteries in your video camera- it’s vlogging time!

Straight from Megan McCafferty herself:
Who: Fans of Jessica Darling, aspiring film-makers, obsessive vloggers, or anyone who is creative with a camera

What: Create an original 3-minutes-or-under video that summarizes the
action in Sloppy Firsts, Second Helpings and Charmed Thirds

When: Starting right now, submissions are due by August 7th, 2007 (aka the on-sale date of Fourth Comings)

Where: Post your video on YouTube with the tags Fourth Comings, Megan
McCafferty, then email me the link via megan@meganmccafferty.com

Why (part one): To bring new and forgetful readers up to speed on the
action leading up to Fourth Comings, and also because I thought it would
be a fun distraction tactic until August 7th (for me, if not you)

Why (part two): The director of the best video (as determined by yours
truly and a panel of my novel-writing peers) will win a customized
Fourth Comings tote bag, containing The Megan McCafferty Collection,
including (but not limited to) autographed copies of all the Jessica
Darling novels and other books I've contributed to, audio books, and an
original You, Yes, You T-shirt

How: Dramatic reading! Music video! Interpretive dance! Anime!
Finger-puppet theater! However you want to express yourself...as long as
the video is under three minutes and complies with YouTube's Terms of Use

This contest is an awesome idea! I never got into these books (I think it was the title of sloppy firsts that just sort of creeped me out) but maybe if I watch some other people's videos I will be more interested in the book. I definintely think that the way that authors are asking their fans to make advertising for them is an interesting new development in the evolution of technology. I'm not sure yet if I like it or not.
