What do you get when take two chocoholics with the same first name, who live in the same city, who write fiction, and who are celebrating a milestone?
You get the Steena & Stina’s OMG! Contest
Last weekend, Steena came up with the idea of having a contest after I added the Follower Widget to my blog. Yeah, I know, why I didn’t think of that in the first place? At the time, I had 30 followers. Steena thought I should celebrate having 50 wonderful followers (When I posted this, I'd already hit 91).
Cool. Great idea.
We thought about doing a first line of your ms contest or a really bad query contest.
Not a great idea. I knew I’d love all the submissions, and, well, we couldn’t afford that.
So then we thought of doing an arm wrestling contest like Lisa & Laura Roecker recently did.
But then Steena saw my bulging biceps and chickened out. Oh well.
In the end, we decided to do the regular contest which you get more entries for each of the following things you do (see the entry form).
Now right now you’re thinking, “But what are the prizes?”
You’ll have to check out Steena’s blog to see her prizes. *winks*
From me, you have the chance to win either a $20 or $15 gift card from Chapters Indigo (Canada), Barnes & Noble, or Borders. (I added a prize when my follower count hit 70!).
What about if you’re not from Canada or the US and you win? Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out.
Here's what you have to do to enter:
*BE A FOLLOWER OF BOTH BLOGS
*FILL IN THE FORM BELOW.
The contest ends May 3rd 11:59 p.m. EST. I'll use a random number generator to select the winner. The winner will be announced on Thursday May 6th, and notified by email.
(Note: if you're having trouble finding the submit button, just scroll down on the entry form. The rest of the questions and the button will show up.)
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Okay, READY. SET. GO:
THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!

Great contest! The arm wrestle--how funny.
cool beans! I didn't know there were two Stina (Steena's)! Off to visit the other S now!
Sorry everyone. I forgot that even though Steena and I live in the same city, our brains work in different time zones. Steena posts later in the morning. I get up at 5 am, so I post at 5:30. Steena's still sleeping at that time. ;)
Cool contest. Congrats on the followers. :)
Great Contest! I'm excited to see you blog grow in followers!
Great DOUBLE contest! (And how funny that you two share so much in common?)
Thanks for finding my blog so that I could find yours (and Steena's).
You're almost to 100 even!
That is such a cute contest! And now you're so close to 100! I bet you'll be there in no time!
LOVE that you have the same name!
Congrats on your followers - fun contest. Thank you for visiting my blog and becoming a follower.

WOOHOO! I was your 100th follower. It feels like a milestone for me, even though it's one for you.
Came over because of the contest, but I don't have anything critique ready so I shall leave that prize for other lovelies :) I am glad I found you, though :) and I shall be lurking around *mwa hahahaha*

You both are awesome! Congrats on the followers. :D
Congrats on your followers. Love the double contest. Very cool.

Got it to work. Thanks for your help!
FABULOUS!!

<3 you!!
Awesome contest! Congrats--I adore your blog.
Hey - I just noticed your bracelet on your arms - something hard to see due to those HUGE bulging bicep ;)
Great contest! I've been reading your blog for a while now, but I don't think I was a follower until today. I signed up today, I hoped I didn't follow twice.
Boy, am I feeling the love with this contest. :) Chocolate kisses to you all. Too bad my kids already ate them. *runs off to store to buy more*
Congratulations on all of your new followers! Thanks for the contest and the virtual chocolate kisses. ;)
Hey sweets, you've have been bestowed on my blog. Thanks and congrats:)
Can't remember how I found your blog but I've become a new follower.
Fun contest, thanks for sharing!
Yay!! I love a contest!

Well shoot. I can't get your form to work. Oh well. Great contest!
Wait! SUCCESS! Form completed :)
Congratulations on hitting 112 followers. It's a great feeling to know that people are reading your words. Have fun with your contest!
LOVE it. I can't believe Steena chickened out. Well, actually based on THOSE muscles, I'm not surprised.
Fabulous contest, ladies!
Congrats on your followers! Love the Stina/Steena match up.
Makes me wonder if there's a match for Viva out there in the blogosphere somewhere? But I digress...
Great contest! I'll get it on my sidebar pronto! :)
Congrats on your followers! Great contest idea!
Awesome contest!! Congrats on all your followers, and on all your blogging successes :))
Wow, 119 and counting. That's awesome!
As my manuscript is still in-progress, I gotta THANK YOU for hosting a contest I could actually qualify for. You've just earned my unending loyalty and devotion. ;)
No, really. Thanks!
What fun! Congrats on your followers, and thanks for hosting the contest!
Your contest did several things: it made me realize I didn't follow you yet, it let me discover Steena's great blog, it stirred me to think about winning something! I'm in.
I didn't know there was another Steena! So thanks for introducing me to another great blog :)
Awesome contest, you rock Stina!!!
And I haven't blogged about your contest yet, but tomorrow I will :)
Why must I always be late to the party?? Dangitall. I'm here now! Great contest!
Great to finally meet you in person! :-)
Wow, lots of chances to get the name in more than once and to that I say...yay! Great contest!
I hope I win:) I'm doing everything you asked, 12 points:) If that doesn't give me a prize, I don't know what will!
All entered...fingers crossed. :)
Nice contest, Stina :)
Just signed up. Thanks!
Wow! What a find I found. Like your blogs and your contest. Looking forward to getting to know you both better. :)
BTW, it's cool how you imbedded that form into your blog. Nice tech-savvy!
So cool that you guys have such close sounding names. Great contest!
Love the blog, love the contest. I understand about trying to get creative about increasing readership:-)
That is an AMAZING coincidence about all the things you guys have in common...now that could be the base for a FANTABULOUS story!
Follow you BOTH and left comments on BOTH your blogs!
Another CHOCO-FREAK....or just FREAK.
Thank you for doing this contest!! :D
So cool!! I just realized I wasn't following either of you. I've run into Stina so often online I thought I was. And Steena, although you don't know it, you were one of the first blogs I checked out before I started blogging only three short months ago! You both are awesome!!
Oooh exciting contest! And congrats on all of the followers so far!
Great idea! I'm still figuring out this whole blog thing. You both have fun blogs and I look forward to future posts.
Great contest! Congrats on your almost 200 followers!
Sounds like tons of fun! Definitely entering!
