Baen Books‘s Laura Haywood-Cory writes to tell us of the publisher’s “Baen Books Can Haz Caption Contest”. She says “Everyone’s heard of LOLcats. But have you ever seen a LOL-Kzin? Hr-r-r, of course you haven’t. Now’s your chance to make one!
Step 1. Scream and leap to the Man-Kzin section under Larry Niven at the Baen online catalog:
Step 2. Choose your cover.
Step 3. Create a LOL-Kzin caption.
Step 4. Submit your entry to info at baen dot com. (Yes, multiple entries allowed)
The editors of Baen Books will be the judges. Entries will be judged on originality, sophisticated word play (yes, we mean puns) and overall fun factor.
Winner will receive a Man-Kzin print autographed by the artist, Stephen Hickman. The creator of the bestselling Man-Kzin Wars series, Larry Niven, disclaims any responsibility for this contest.
Now hunt well, and bring us pleasing quarries, er, entries!
Deadline for entries is 9 November 2009. (And, for our few readers who don’t yet know what this whole LOLcats thing is, we offer this Wikipedia entry.)
