The winner of our final Legend of the Seeker DVD contest is Stephen! His haiku managed to be all about Kahlan and season 2, it’s pretty awesome:
Reason and passion
Though Kahlan’s pure heart still beats,
It is always torn

Our runner up, who’s entry we also loved, will be receiving one of the Legend of the Seeker cards from last year. From Zhang:
Till death do we part.
You are my hope and my strength
Confessed, I oblige.

Thanks to all who entered, they were all awesome!

This post is stickied to the top, scroll down for the new stuff.

All right people, this will be our last Legend of the Seeker Season 2 DVD contest. All you have to do is write us a Season 2 Haiku. A haiku is a poem consisting of 17 syllables in a 5-7-5 syllable structure.

For example:
Mother Confessor
Never without her Seeker
Always together

I do understand that it’s a bit hard to be season two specific with so few words, as long as it’s generally LotS themed it’s ok. You can post your haiku here in the comments or you can send it to contests [at] herblueeyes.com. The contest will run until Sunday September 26 at midnight central. We’ll announce the winner that Monday so we can be sure to get their DVDs shipped out on Tuesday. As always, if you’d rather have the Amazon gift certificate equivalent or a certificate to download the season from iTunes we’ll happily oblige you. Good luck!

The winner of our most recent contest is……… Doggy28! Congratulations to Doggy and thanks to everyone for entering! Check back tomorrow for our next contest! Thanks to all who entered!

Time for our second Legend of the Seeker Season 2 contest! Just leave a comment here between now and Sunday night at midnight (Central Time in the US) and we’ll randomly select one commenter to receive a copy of Legend of the Seeker Season 2 on DVD (or the Amazon gift certificate equivalent). We are also more than happy to do iTunes gift certificates for the complete season if you live outside the US. We have a wonderful fan who has tested that out for us in the past and she had no problem redeeming the certificate through iTunes.  Only one entry per person please. Good luck!

Well, we kind of expected this contest to be a bit bigger than it was. But we did receive very nice entries from two people, entries that both Lindsey and I liked a whole lot, so we’re giving the prize to both of them. The winners are Kiersten and Jason! Thank you for submitting your photos, it looks like a great time was had by all. Watch out for a new contest in the next few days! Thanks again!

ROLE TO DYE FOR ; Bridget lost Stunning trademark red locks to star as telly warrior
by John Millar

SWORDS and sorcery star Bridget Regan made the ultimate sacrifice to land her dream role – she dyed her beloved red hair.

The glamorous actress had to swap her natural shade for raven locks to play Kahlan, the warrior hero of hit fantasy series Legend Of The Seeker.

She joked: “I’m the black sheep of the family now. All my family have red hair.”

The TV adventures are based on Terry Goodkind’s Sword Of Truth novels.

Bridget, 28, whose family have Celtic roots, said: “The books also say my character has green eyes so I thought I would be wearing contact lenses. But luckily they went with blue eyes.

“Sometimes I miss my red hair and I think I’ll go back to it eventually. It was chemically straightened and dyed for the show so it needs a bit of rest and recovery.”

The contest is now closed! Check back later today for our winner!

***Edit 9/11*** Our first few entries are up in the gallery and you can check them out here: http://herblueeyes.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=43.
Also, The Seeker Cast has yet another spiffy list of links up to all sorts of fun stuff from DragonCon for those of us who didn’t get a chance to go: http://www.theseekercast.com/2010/09/the-seeker-cast-36-fan-panel-from-dragoncon-2010-legend-chronicles-of-a-seeker/

DragonCon is coming! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, DragonCon is one of the largest SciFi/Fantasy conventions in the US. The Seeker Cast has a spiffy list of all the planed Legend of the Seeker events here: http://www.theseekercast.com/2010/06/dcon2010/ If you are planning to attend DragonCon and want to do a nice write up for us to use here on the site, we’d be ever so grateful.

And, because Chris and I can’t go and see all the pretty Kahlans ourselves, we’re going to run a contest. We want pictures of Kahlans at DragonCon and we’re not above a bit of bribery to get them. Simply take a picture of a Kahlan or two at DragonCon and send it to us. We’re going to give away a copy of Legend of the Seeker Season 2 on DVD (or the Amazon gift certificate equivalent, your choice) to the best Kahlan picture. You have to have taken the picture yourself or you have to be the person in the picture and someone took the photo for you. Kahlan doesn’t have to be the only person in the picture, but she needs to be in there somewhere. It can be one Kahlan, a group of Kahlans, a group shot with 20 people and only on Kahlan… etc. Email your pictures to contests [at] herblueeyes.com by midnight on Monday, September 13 . We will put all the entries we receive up in the gallery for everyone to admire and you are welcome to submit as many pictures as you wish.

This is just the first of three or four Season 2 giveaways/contests that we have planned leading up to release day, so if you can’t make it to DragonCon, stop back by in the upcoming weeks to see what else we’ve got going on.
