Giving It All Away! (Well, Not ALL Of It.)

Recently I made it known that I wanted to give away some stuff. Lots of stuff. Stuff I'd been collecting for years. The reason is simple: I am taking more of a minimalist view of things and so much of what I grabbed during my completist days is no longer wanted or needed by me. Not to say it's junk, just things that I no longer appreciate. I am still growing my collection, just with things (books, articles, newsletters, various publications) that help serve my purpose here. So, I'm going to pay it forward.

I'm actually quite excited to do this for the faithful out there. I have some decent items on my shelves (and in boxes) that need homes that will utilize them more often. I've been a part of their histories, now someone else needs to take over. There's going to be lots of books. There'll be random items, magazines, newsletters, journals, clothing, and whatever else I'll open a box and see and be surprised by that I kept. And it's going to take a while to give it all away, too. It won't all happen at once, I'll be doing a giveaway every month. For a while.

So, here's how it's going to work: it's going to be a Canonical trivia kind of thing. Low end. I'm not going to make the questions too hard as I do want to give this stuff away. Still, the whole purpose for this blog is The Canon, and we'll not be venturing out of it. Well, maybe sometimes, but never out of Victorian England. Oh, and here's what I'm going to call it...

Pretty cool, right? I will be giving away the first prize next month. We'll do it on the 15th, and on every 15th after that until the supply is exhausted. I already have the item picked out, and I'm happy to be giving it a new home. I'll reveal what it is one week before the 15th, and that will give everyone a chance to see it and decide if it's something they want to try for. So, I'm ready to begin disbursing my things out to other collections and libraries. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I am thrilled to even be in a position to offer it.

I'll see you soon, and hopefully you can get some of my stuff, so until then.
And as always...thanks for reading.
