Equality FTW Signed Book & Pillow Winners

Congratulations to the winner of our signed J.K. Rowling book contest, Carrie M. of Los Angeles, CA. As fellow entrants will know, we asked each person to submit a mysterious list of words. HPA staff then plugged the words into a mad lib template and voted on our favorite. For this hilarious creation as well as her donation to Equality FTW, Carrie has been awarded a UK edition of Prisoner of Azkaban signed by J.K. Rowling.

We additionally ran another contest to win this Darren Criss pillow. The winner was randomly selected from all donors who contributed ten dollars or more and the winner was Mary L. of Deerfield, NY.

Thank you to Carrie, Mary, and everyone else who contributed to Equality FTW!

Chupacabra                                                     M.O.M. Classification: XXXX                                         The chupacabra is a fearsome creature up to league tall and weighing over 3 stone. Notable for its equally prodigious strength and stupidity, the chupacabra is often supercilious and unpredictable. Chupacabras originated in Scandinavia but these days they may be found in Britain, Ireland, and on the moon. Chupacabras generally converse in grunts that appear to constitute a crude language, though some have been known to understand and even to speak Tamil. The more intelligent of the species have been trained as funeral clowns.                                                       There are three types of chupacabra: mountain, forest, and tombolo. The mountain chupacabra is the largest and most vicious. It is bald, with a puce skin. The forest chupacabra has a pale-green skin and some specimens have hair, which is green or brown, thin, and portly. The tombolo chupacabra has short horns and may be hairy. It has a purplish skin, and is often found lurking beneath tunnelss. Chupacabras eat raw flesh and are not fussy in their prey, which ranges from persimmons to humans.
