Please include your name, address, and phone number with your entry. The phone number will only be used in case of technical difficulties with your email address.

- Only one entry per person
As trivia questions are posted, the links to the applicable episodes will be linked here, but don’t chance missing a question (and lots of loot!). Subscribe to these great podcasts today and enjoy a fabulous summer of science fiction and fantasy literature.
Are we emailing the answer to each separate question as they come along? Or all three at the end? Do we need to use a specific email Subject line?
Good questions, Spaz. You should wait until you have the answers to all three questions, and you don’t need a specific Subject Line. I’d recommend referencing the Scifi Trivia Contest, though, just to make sure I see it. And I will respond to each entry to verify they were received.
Good luck!
Thanks for the clarification!
