Awesome news. I will start right now writing some articles on my prefered subject (Marriage; weddings; save relationship…)

Hope to win the mug.

Cool. Another chance to get a second mug and to start my “collection” for real — albeit one with a pretty tight deadline.

Good thing I enjoy staying in the Holiday spirit well into the new year since technically the holidays will be way over by the time the mug arrives.

Planning to write about my several favorite subjects, from blogging and marketing to self-help topics and New Year’s projections and, well, maybe a few more holiday articles too ;-)

Too bad the articles I write for my clients won’t count — or else this would be a piece of cake. Then again, this way, I’ll be pushed to write articles for myself too.

Happy Holidays!

For you, 400 words… for everyone else, the usual 250 will do.

Just kidding of course. ;-)

250 words is the minimum per article.

I just really want that mug. To remind me something I did in 2009, will be coming to me in 2010.
A good reason why I want that mug is because, I am cutting back on going to coffee shops and making my own coffee at home. If I go to coffee shops I tend to get all the bad stuff in my coffee, like cream and sugar, If I have a coffee at home… I control the amount! Taking a better look at health in 2010!

Just want to confirm my understanding of the rules – we need to write at least 25 articles & post them on our own blog sites, then send an email to Ezine with a link to the site containing the articles?
but rule 3 states shipping address in EzineArticles profile, wouldn’t having an EzineArticle profile constitute signing up? Please clear this up for me – thanks.

Rule #3Confirm your shipping address is correct in your EzineArticles profile. We’ll only ship these mugs to confirmed postal addresses worldwide.

There’s no need to sign up It’s that simple.

Chrystal,

Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the challenge itself when I said, “There’s no need to sign up.” – not EzineArticles membership. You need to be an EzineArticles member and submit 25 articles through our system in order to qualify for the challenge.

We’re not packing it up for the Holidays. While it’s true we’re almost done for the week in the next few hours; we will be here next week.

Also, magically, your account has at least 25 more article submission credits…so have no fear, your account will allow for the submissions without problems.

Lastly, we’re pretty much on top of accounts that are at zero submissions left and will be intra-day checking them thru the end of the year.

Nope, all you have to do is submit 25 articles within the time limit. Provided they are legitimate attempts to create quality articles that could eventually be approved, they’ll qualify.

Keith,

We’re in CST (Central USA Standard Time).

I personally always use CST or CST USA time to designate time (because our Aussie friends also have a CST); but perhaps the perfect way to say it would be CST (UTC -5 hours)

CDT means “Central Daylight Time”. Yes, that was a typo because CDT only applies in our Summer months. I updated it.

Bill, while you are waiting on “official” word from Marc or Chris…

My understanding from all of these challenges is that the 25 articles must be under the same pen name- not spread out among multiple pen names. However, if you completed 25 per each pen name, you would qualify for multiple mugs.

Lisa is correct. As with all EzineArticles Challenges, you can’t pool multiple authors together, but you can qualify under each author separately. #HAHD 2 had one member who received 7 prize packages!

Either way, at least I’ve got 25 (actually 27 — I just kept going) new articles that are going to be approved pretty soon — I can imagine that a lot of people pulled a major last minute effort and so the reviewers are going to have their work cut out for them when they come back Monday morning.

I hope I didn’t screw it up though by gong back and making a change to one of the articles that WOULD have qualified… (the one with the book review on “German Quickly”).

hehe, my gamer tag for years has been “Insomnia Princess” and since I am active in many communities as an admin, moderator, etc. there have been a few times I received mail addressed to “The Princess” or just “Princess”.

My mail carrier knows I’m a writer; I think few things would surprise her now. :p

LOL :)

I haven’t been living in this new house very long, and the mail man always looks very curious at me, when he wakes me up early in the morning (10:30 AM).

Now delivering mail to several names, still being me… I guess there’ll be some head shaking going on in our small village ;-)

Yes, I did, and pronounced in French, it was a small miracle that my husband actually understood the postman, when he wanted to deliver the package. It sounded more like “Robin Hood” ([Robain Debwoi]) than my pen name ;-)

In case we’re not at home, I wouldn’t be able to fetch the packet in the post office, when it’s not carrying the name, I use for my account.

Britt,

I’d apologize for the mailing challenges, but without them we’d miss the funny stories! ;-)

Seriously, we’ve struggled with this issue before. Some people prefer that we not use their “real” name while others have problems like yours. We’ll keep working to find a solution.

Ha, ha, yeah, I bet this would create a lot of funny incidents :)

Would it be technically possible, if we wrote what name and address we would like to receive the rewards to, when we write to request our rewards?

I mean – I, Pen Name, would like to receive my reward send to Real Name, Real Address, Real country?

Not a bad idea – thanks. I’ll pass it on to our Developers.

I don’t see my name on the list, but I qualified and sent a request, even got confirmation of it. Whom do I contact about getting my cool mug?

Heather,

We’ll look into it for you and contact you privately.

Rowan,

We have a new system in place, so it’s no longer necessary to send an email requesting the rewards. You can now register for all challenges on the Member Interface; your shipping address will be checked at that time.

I still would like it to be possible to choose the shipping NAME as well as the shipping address. This would help me a lot. And you’ll probably get a lot less mugs returned.

Britt,

We recently changed that process. We now ship to the Member’s name, not the author’s name. I believe that was on your suggestion. :-)

I just really want that mug. To remind me something I did in 2009, will be coming to me in 2010.
A good reason why I want that mug is because, I am cutting back on going to coffee shops and making my own coffee at home. If I go to coffee shops I tend to get all the bad stuff in my coffee, like cream and sugar, If I have a coffee at home… I control the amount! Taking a better look at health in 2010!

Ok, well I had better give it another shot! At least I will know next time! Plus I see from Elisabeth’s question, we have a bit more time up our sleeve.

I wish I didn’t write 500 word articles all the time!-
