What a great opportunity!!! I'm still thinking about what I'm going to give or do! I'll keep you posted for sure!!! :)
Woohoo! It's epic! Okay, let me see what I can do.
You already know that I <3 you. Best of luck with this. I love it. I will surely give you a shout-out on my blog!!
I'm so lame, I was going to write a comment asking you what BR80 meant. And then I said it out loud while I was typing it.
Oh ... duh.
Great contest, Candyland! I will plug this on my blog later this week!
awesomeness--you're up! Great prizes, too! :o)
YAY! This is so awesome and I'm quite proud to be taking part. I don't have a lot of money to give to things like this even when I KNOW they're worthy, so I really want to thank you Candace for figuring out a way I can donate my time instead. You are the bestest EVAR!!!
Oh and the winner of my crit will also get an awesome post dedicated to their generous philanthropy and the awesomeness of their query (after I have fixed it up proper) on the coolest blog that ever was thrown together clumsily at the very last second.
Also I will be commenting twice daily while Jessica's on Ithaca because I would like the honor of taking over as top stalker - er I mean commenter, on Candyland.
hi miss candace! wow thats a lot of stuff to think about. i like helping. my brothers say be careful on giving to things but i know i could trust you so im gonna send you some money from my allowance.
...hugs from lenny
You have redefined EPIC. I'm blown away by the prizes, by the cause, by the generosity of others oozing off the page.
Wow.
Just posted about it! And I added a bit of a prize in my own post to sweeten the deal for my readers...
You continue to amaze me Candy. I'll definitely post this to my blog and twitter. And of course, will donate to a cause so dear to you. xo
Good for you raising money for such a terrific cause! Can't wait to see who gets which prizes? How will that part work?

Awesome of you, I will definitely put up a little link love later.
SWEET! You rock! =)
I echo what Vicki said - epic has reached a new height. You are awesome Candace, and I totally <3 you! :-)
What an awesome thing to do. I will def pass the word on this and see what I can do to provide motivation on this for my readers.
Wow! Great cause and great prizes, I'll be back!
~that rebel, Olivia
Ooh, I like the new prize format much better. Though I'm admittedly a writer, I'm already dialed in w/ critique partners, an amazing agent, and a wonderful editor. I'm much more interested in winning books & goodies like that, so thanks!
Tawna
one word: amazing! gosh i really can't describe how awesome this whole thing is. Thanks so much for introducing me to this cause!
Angela Z
This sounds so amazing! I'll see what I can do...
Just tweeted this and will include it in our Friday round-up. This is an amazing cause, and a wonderful opportunity for writers! You rock for putting this together!
Hugs,
Martina
What a great idea! Here's something more contests for writers should be doing--giving to charity!
Awesome!
I emailed my entries.
This is such an awesome contest! Definitely posting a link on my blog. (:
Okay, okay, I bought a shirt. I couldn't resist. I'm in. :o)
I've also got you pasted/linked at the top of my blog posts. You're infectious! INFECTIOUS! ;o)
Okay, I've got the banner on my blog, but I'm having linkage trouble (tech support is not my thing). I've pasted the website address underneath it, so I hope that helps!

I emailed you my donation proof! Thank you! Looking forward to the results.
Whoo, I just bought a t-shirt. :)
Hi Candace,
I just emailed you a receipt for a donation and I put a link to the contest on my blog:

I think it is a great cause that you are supporting. Microcredit makes such a difference in the lives of women.
Good job Brady.

I just reactivated my old iTunes account,and downloaded & listened to both "Laid" and "The Takeover." What a great band! The salty language in "The Takeover" will give even me, with my notoriously potty mouth, a run for my money. ;)
I already have a wonderful agent and great crit partners, but I love the other prizes you have listed!
I just ordered my Team Candyland shirt, Candace! Count me in. Sorry I'm so late to the party. :-)
awesomeness--you're up!
I'm so psyched! Thank you!!!
Greetings.
Good
