carrie's younger brother: the prize for the Guardian competition is a creative writing workshop and the story being published on the website. It is not the short story collection.
I totally get it with the differing rules of games of chance in differing countries. but I will have to look up the international copyright thing. I am a lawyer but have no knowledge of copyright law as so specialist. However with the net distribution rights can be infringed with impunity (except for the fact as mentioned of a book being released in one territory before another not being sold internationally on the net.
@MsModerator: However I could theoretically say "meh Hodder are charging too much for "Bazaar" so I'll get the US edition on Amazon.com or alibris instead...will have to research it. I just checked I can buy any of SK's books in US edition that I can get here but I can't buy that new audiobook on itunes :/

...better yet...how's 'bout a Moaning Myrtle Sweepstakes?....
To heck with the contest...please just send a signed copy to me up here in Canuckland and I'll be sure to let people know through the maplevine.
Yes, just as I can order books from the UK through Amazon.uk.com but it's not the publisher itself that is distributing the books outside the territory. That's the rub.
Next contest just have a Hunger Games type event. A contestant from each country that publishes King's works would compete. Last one standing wins the prize. Fair is fair.
And I could find a country where it will be legal to host just such an event. So... have King’s people contact my people to get the ball rolling on this.
By any chance will you start wearing a white rose from now on?
I wished then that Heyne would do such a thing and let you know about it Mrs. Mod. It's always so sad for the foreigners. I do not even need a signed copy just a copy to read and enjoy SK stories. In Germany you do not need to pay taxes on presents from sweepstakes.
LOL... Of course. I will be wearing a light gray suit with a half a dozen of those roses by my side, overseeing the carnage... and the people will refer to me as The Man Who Loved Flowers.By any chance will you start wearing a white rose from now on?

It's a real big thing with the roses and President Snow.
That's what I called "wearing" by the way.
And he did love his garden. I enjoyed his character the best (although the one Woody Harrelson portrays come in a close second) in the two movies I've seen (I haven't seen the latest).It's a real big thing with the roses and President Snow.

The last wasn't the best. There was a little twist at the end but all in all it was to predictable.
