Send me the link to one of my fan-fics or one-shots from Patreon or Tumblr and tell me one thing about it ^_^

There are some specific terms and conditions though so please read until the end!

This giveaway is not sponsored by Patreon! I am doing this giveaway independently and all costs out of my own pocket!

There are 2 prize "packages" to be won and 3 individual prizes. Each will be drawn for independently. You cannot choose whether you win Package "A" or "B" or which individual prize but you can choose the specific option(s) within those packages/prizes. Ex. choice of which book or movie, etc or choice of keychain or necklace

The free month on Patreon is opened to Patrons only. You must be a paid Patron of trulyhopelessromantic for a minimum of 1 month before your free month prize will be granted.  Meaning: you must pay for March or April (depending on when you join as my patron -the giveaway runs until the last day of March 2020) before I will give you the digital benefits of a free month.

One month free of the $5 or $10 tier cannot be applied to your first month as a patron. You'll be able to get this perk for your 2nd month as a Patron!

After winning you'll have 1 week to get in touch with me to discuss your prizes. If I don't hear from you, I'll draw a new name to win your set of prizes.

This is open to residents of all countries but mailed prizes are subject to restrictions of your country's customs policies. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to ship to every country and in that case I will offer you an alternative digital reward prize!

Possible FAQ

Why are you doing this giveaway? Honestly it's been years since I've done one on any platform and I figured it was time to do one again!Why was this at first only open to your Patreon Patrons? Why have you decided on a public draw now?At first it was lack of funds to put forward to doing a public and a Patron draw. If you're a Patron you're supporting my content and this giveaway was initially designed as a way for me to make a little fun incentive to do so and for me give back to you for that kindness! But with lack of interest from my Patrons to participate, I've opened it up to everyone :)I'm hesitant to become a Patron/I don't know how!It's actually really easy to join and become a Patron. You can set up your payments through Paypal; no credit card or debit card numbers need be entered!If you're nervous about any of that above or want reassurance please don't hesitate to contact me or check out this official post from Patreon explaining how to become a Patron!! Patreon is a very wonderful site and it's geared to make things easy and comfortable as possible for both creators and Patrons and there is literally no obligation to stay in any financial capacity. You as a Patron get to choose how much you wish to contribute and can set caps on your pledges or remove your support at any time. You aren't bound to any contracts or anything like that. It's very much your choice on your end what you do as a Patron. The only thing that I as a creator have control over is what I offer you at each tier that you pledge and the possibility of refunding any pledges at my discretion.How do I enter the giveaway? Once I'm a Patron am I automatically entered?You are not automatically entered! There will be a separate post made exclusively for Patrons providing you the link to enter the giveaway! So Patrons, you get to enter there without doing anything other than being a Patron.

For the public who are unable or don't wish to join Patreon just message me the answer to one of the five questions I've posted and I will get back to you in 24 hours with the Rafflecopter link to enter! 

I will privately message everyone Patron or not within 24 hours with the link so that it's accessible to you there as well.If we win why can't we get our 1st month of support free if we're a new patron?As mentioned above this giveaway was a bit of an incentive for new patrons to join the blog and support my content! You're going to be getting many Patron-Exclusive perks in your first month that you pay for and this way, your 2nd month is free and you still get to enjoy even more perks that will be released in your 2nd month! On my end it allows me more time to spend with you and get to know your preferences as an audience member and patron and also prevents anyone from joining my Patreon just to get mailed a bunch of free stuff and then deactivate before perhaps exploring my Patreon content! I don't think that would be fair to the other patrons. I want my Patreon to foster a community of people around my writing and released content! Having any entrants use their free month on a 2nd or 3rd month here on the blog will help in attracting those who are interested in good storytelling AND free stuff! :PHow are you running the giveaway/keeping track of it?I'm going to use Rafflecopter -a site that facilitates the creation of giveaways for people and businesses.Can I gain more entries other than just the one I get for signing up to be a Patron!?Yes! Keep your eyes peeled for posts that will be released here and on my tumblr www.trulyhopelessromantic.tumblr.com during the entire month of March that will give you clues or links towards extra entries and/or answers to submit to gain an extra entry or two!Can I opt out of certain prizes and/or trade certain parts of my prize for something else?Yes to opting out of any of your prizes but no to trading. If you win 'Package B' you cannot ask for something from 'Package A' to be swapped instead. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any concerns and/or reasoning for wanting to trade or swap that can be discussed when you contact me to claim your prize but as stated above in the regulations A and B and the individual prizes are going to be drawn separately and it's the luck of the draw on which group of prizes you get as unfortunately I am unable to accommodate substitutions without really just cause. Besides, if 'B' for example claims their prize and you suddenly want something from their prize package well they've already claimed it. I don't have 2 of everything unfortunately hence the design of this giveaway.For the individual prizes I have 1 of each charm but jewelry making supplies to accommodate whether you want it on a keychain or as a necklace <3 Granted I may be able to create a bracelet if that is preferable but that must be discussed at the time of claiming your prize.Why didn't you have the list of movies and books yet at the time of posting the giveaway?In order to be able to offer a better selection I had waited to post these lists as there are 2 sales going on in my town here in early March where I had access to a better group of titles than I had at the time of posting initially. Thanks for your patience and understanding with this! I have more questions that aren't answered here!No problem just comment or private message me and I'll answer that for you!

I'd like to thank you all in advance for your participation and I encourage you to keep checking back here for updates on how to get new entries and exclusive content offered only to those participating in this giveaway!

Any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact me!

Love,

Britt xoxo
