Prepare to fight! It’s time for Alpha Showdown nominations [Giveaway]

ALPHA SHOWDOWN | Vampire Book ClubOK, I don’t expect you to fight. But we need to determine who’s making it into this year’s battle to be the ultimate alpha. Last year, Jericho Z. Barrons won. Rightfully. However, JBZ can’t be in the running this year. Leaving things open for other kickass characters to claim top honors.

This is where you come in, dear readers. We’re doing open nominations this year. (And bribing your participation with a giveaway.)

What is this Alpha Showdown?
If you weren’t a reader of VBC last May (welcome!), you missed out on two weeks of insane fun in our 2011 Alpha Showdown. We bust out a March Madness-style bracket of 16 alpha characters (both male and female). Book bloggers champion for their alpha — trying to convince you he or she should win it all — and each day we have a new poll. Readers vote. One alpha advances. Last year there were plenty of author bribes (excerpts and the like) and many chances to tell the world why you love a certain character.

Basically, it was a ton of fun. And we’re doing it again.

What are the rules?
To be in the 2012 Alpha Showdown the character must be from a book published between June 2011 and May 2012. This is why Barrons can’t win. Shadowfever came out in January 2011.

The character can be male or female. Darian from Shaedes of Grey, for example, is definitely a female alpha badass. In that same count, I highly suspect we’ll see Terrible and Lothaire make it to the bracket.

…but that’s up to you.

Nominations and a Giveaway
You can nominate up to three alpha characters for the Showdown. Simply fill out the form below — which will also enter you to win any book from our Recommendations section — and list your nominees. Feel free to bait your friends to nominate the same characters. Use the comments here to pitch. It’s all fair game.

The 16 characters with the most nominations will be put in the bracket for the 2012 Alpha Showdown, which will happen this May.

    Master Vampire Malachi(Vampire Instinct – Vampire Queen series) , Alpha-sub Jacob Green (Bound by The Vampire Queen – Vampire Queen series) & Derek Stormwind (Something about Witches – Arcane Shot serries) from the amazing Joey W Hill’s universe. These perfect male specimens are super-hot yummo *drools* and alphas to the core *swoon* Not to be missed. Oh they’d give ALL other alphas a run for their money (Vishous, Terrible, Lothaire & Bones got demoted cos’ of these tender morsels)
