Oooh… Delurk me baby.

Wanna be naughty when there’s absolutely no reason to be nice?  Then join the eCata delurking party this Thursday. 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CataNetwork-Readers/

Post and play and be entered eligible for prizes.  We’ve got over 200 books up for winning by you, dear readers.  Here’s the “official” press release, but you know it’ll be so much kinkier and laugh filled than they let on.  After all, I’ll be there!

Hellooooo Delurkers!!!
 
The countdown started today and next week we’ll have some great times for the online record books!
 
Just a few things to point out. The main idea of the delurking event is to draw out those who haven’t been active on Cata’s loop for awhile. With that in mind, I’d like to ask some of you to keep that in mind when running some of your contests. Here are some examples and ideas of how to draw out some lurkers! :))
 
1.   Ask someone to post a reply to your contest message if they are new to the group but haven’t posted before and invite them to enter your contest by posting now.
2.   Draw out members from 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and ask them to hit reply or email you after they’ve posted
3.   Ask members to email you if it’s been two months-two years-etc. since they’ve posted to Cata but have the member first post at CATA and give an update about their life since the last time they posted
4.   Run a contest and ask some of the original members to post how things have changed since the early days of erotic romance…
5.   Ask members to reply to your contest and tell us when they posted last—the winner of the contest will be the person who posted most recently or the one who you brought out of lurking after being away for the longest time
 
Our goal for a lot of the contests will be to draw out lurkers while making the current members feel very valued and appreciated for their continued support of Cata’s board.
 
We are all guests of CATA so I do want to remind that CATA is a review site. If you have a review from CATA, feel free to post it but for the most part, I thought we’d try to steer away from posting reviews for other sites on May 8th.
 
Be sure to include your links when you post and remember your titles!!! Also, I still need to find some mainstream/YA authors to join us. If you know of anyone, please ask them to email me as soon as possible.

If you write under more than one name, come on out and email me the information for both names and we’ll promote both of these as well.
 
ALSO—and this is important. I’m sending out a few emails— to past active members of CATA to come on out for a guaranteed prize. If you see these pop out with GUARANTEED PRIZE WINNER or something similar, I ask that someone quickly claim that reader and post to them what they’ve won. I’ll pick up a good portion of these if no one wants to do it but these are easy contest winners for you to pick up too so feel free to claim them. Basically, I sent out and will send out emails to past CATA members who were active participants in hopes of drawing them out to chat at the delurking party!
 
Thanks for joining in. More on the way. Let me know if you have questions!
