LOST Identity Giveaway Contest

Dark UFO is giving away copies of LOST Identity, the new LOST book by Pearson Moore, to ten lucky readers. LOST Identity is Pearson Moore’s second book, devoted to nineteen of the most popular characters in the series.

The contest rules are easy: Guess the identity of the character or characters profiled in each chapter (and the introduction) and offer your guesses in a comment to this thread. You can use the chapter headings, your knowledge of LOST, your familiarity with Moore’s essays, or anything else you like as a guide.

Hints:
1. One of the chapters profiles two characters.
2. One of the chapters profiles four characters.
3. Some of the characters are profiled twice.
4. One of the characters is not human, and walks on four legs.

One set of guesses per person. At least ten readers will be selected for free copies of LOST Identity. Winners will be selected by Dark UFO, who may use any mix of subjective and objective criteria in making its decisions. All decisions are final. Winners will be announced two or three days before the publication of LOST Identity, scheduled for the end of this month (June, 2011).

Time for another competition this time from threadless. We've got 4 Lost Inspired t-shirts up for grabs.

108 References T-Shirt
Smokebuster T-Shirt

Here's what you have to do to win one:

1) Follow both @threadless and @DarkUFO on Twitter.

2) At some point before 10AM GMT on Monday, May 17, tweet:

I am following @DarkUFO and @threadless to win a Lost inspired shirt! Entry Details Here: http://ow.ly/1IXyQ

3) That's it.

Note:
- Anyone can enter from anywhere.

- We will only accept one entry per Twitter ID
- FOUR winners will be selected at random on Monday 17th May.

I'd originally set out to create a giant, chalkboard-size differential equation that 'explains' the ultimate mystery of the show, using symbols from the show - a polar bear (minus) fish biscuit (times the square root of ) the lighthouse, and on and on to a tongue-in-cheek payoff I hadn't yet determined - probably something about telling Locke what he can't do. As I drew more and more symbols, I realized the equation was unnecessary and I could make the items into a mosaic.

It was so easy because LOST is full of instantly recognizable symbols and physical, tangible things - a broken airplane, a set of knives, a wheelchair, a metal case, the Virgin Mary statues. It wasn't a stretch at all to come up with 108 references - especially because there are so many LOST fans in the Threadless community that helped by using the blog forum to send me suggestions for more symbols.

So the design is a tribute to the very visual nature of the show - stark black and white, physical conflict - (gun beats knife, smoke monster beats gun!) and the physical items that in many cases tie a character to his/her checkered past - Charlie's Drive Shaft ring, Kate's toy plane, Sawyer's letter (He's a complex guy, sweetheart)

I'm a huge fan of the show - in fact, I work in television, and a dream job would be to work on or write for a brilliant series like this. As I worked on the design, I went back to the very beginning and started watching the episodes straight through again. I'd forgotten how much I love the simplicity of the first few seasons - "Guys, where are we??" - but I also love the added layers of intrigue and mystery with each successive season, and of course I'm sad to see it end.

So I hope the shirt (and hoodie) can help soothe the sadness just a little bit and we can carry on in the midst of our impending LOSTless state.
In the words of Hurley, "Let's look Death in the face and say, 'Whatever, man!

Kimmy: http://twitter.com/klost004


We have partnered with CafePress for the final season to allow fans to make LOST merchandise (T-shirts, stickers, mugs, etc) and sell it on CafePress and/or their own shop (for free). Before fans were unable to design for popular shows such as LOST due to copyright protection – NOW they can!

We have 1 T-Shirt to giveaway as part of this promotion, however for every 50 new followers that CafePress gain on their http://twitter.com/lostees account they will send out 1 T-shirt to a random person. Their follow count was 852 when we started so if we can double that, it should mean 15-16 T-shirts.

So for this competition all you have to do is to

1) Follow both @lostees and @DarkUFO on Twitter. (You must have a Twitter account in order to follow someone.) You must be following both of us in order to be eligible to win.

2) At some point before 10AM EST on Thursday, January 21, tweet:


I'm following @lostees & @DarkUFO in order to win a #Lostees shirt to wear during LOST's final season http://bit.ly/5OGdRJ

Update: 15:00 Competition is now over. Winners will be posted shortly and contacted via Direct Message on Twitter.

Time for the second contest Erika (aka "e") from LongLiveLocke.com and I are collaborating on this month: we've got ten LOCKE LIVES t-shirts up for grabs. Here's what you have to do to win one:

1) Follow both @erikaolson and @DarkUFO on Twitter. (You must have a Twitter account in order to follow someone.) You must be following both of us in order to be eligible to win.

2) At some point before 10AM EST on Thursday, January 14, tweet:

I'm following @erikaolson & @DarkUFO in order to win a #LockeLives shirt to wear during LOST's final season (SIZE) http://bit.ly/8ZPkcB

*** You must indicate one of the following sizes in the parentheses above, exactly as written below:
MEDIUM
LARGE
XL
XXL

(See below for information on the sizes.)

3) That's it. Anyone can enter from anywhere, as long as we can mail to you from the U.S.
We will only accept one entry per Twitter ID. TEN winners will be selected at random on January 14.

The shirts run big and are a 50/50 cotton/poly blend, so they won't shrink too much. Erika passed along that she is 5-foot-8, 130 pounds and a Small fit her perfectly, but since she's out of Smalls, a Medium might still work for similarly-sized people, especially if you're somewhere cold and can put a long-sleeve tee under it. If you're really short or petite, you're out of luck, sorry!

Here's how a Large fits a 6-foot-1, 175-pound guy (with a t-shirt on underneath):



And here are two pics of what an XXL looks like on the same person (still with a t-shirt on underneath).


Good luck!

Update: 9th Jan Competition is now closed. We'll collate and post the winners later this morning.

Want to be the envy of all of your LOST-loving friends? Erika (aka "e") from LongLiveLocke.com, who is one of our featured episode recappers here on DarkUFO, wants to help get everyone even more excited about the so-close-we-can-almost-taste-the-imaginary-peanut-butter Season Six premiere, so she and I are joining forces to host a Twitter-based contest.

Here's what you have to do:

1) Follow both @erikaolson and @DarkUFO on Twitter. (You must have a Twitter account in order to follow someone.) You must be following both of us in order to be eligible to win.

2) At some point before 10PM EST on Friday 1/8/10, tweet:

I'm following @erikaolson & @DarkUFO in order to win a #DharmaBeer can koozie to help ring in the final season of LOST http://bit.ly/5gqWry

3) Um, that's it. Anyone can enter from any country (as long as we're allowed to mail to you from the U.S.), but we will only count one entry per Twitter ID. We will randomly select TEN winners on 1/9/10 and announce them shortly thereafter.

The Dharma Beer can koozies were created by e's husband as little party favors for the LOST shindigs they plan to host in the coming season (meaning, they're not available for purchase anywhere). They are collapsible white foam can holders that make any canned or bottled drink look like a Dharma Beer (they even fit around some plastic/glass cups). You will definitely be the envy of all your other Lostie friends (and Sawyer) if you have one.

At some point after we close this Twitter contest, e and I will be running another Twitter-based contest with different prizes, so stay tuned for details on that in the near future.

And good luck!
