A Message From Natasha, Voice Of The Ministry:

Comrades, the time has come to take our evangelism of the 7th Son experience to the masses. The goals: New listeners. Mentions in the blogosphere. Media coverage. Agents are needed to distribute this message to the battlefield. Agents like you.

7th Son fans who help in the cause cannot be paid, but they will be rewarded for their hard work. If you spread the word about 7th Son, you will become an Agent of the Ministry. Your name (and links to your website, blog, band, etc.) will be posted on the esteemed Agents of the Ministry page, here at this site. You will also be eligible to win exclusive 7th Son swag not available to the masses.

Will you join the revolution, comrades? The Ministry of Propaganda isn’t just looking for a few good men and women. It’s looking for all of you good men and women. Click here to learn more about the Ministry, and to sign up for the MOP’s street team newsletter.

Agents of the Ministry

Behold the names of 7th Son fans who have followed orders of the mighty Natasha and spread the word about the novel. These are the Agents of the Ministry, fan elite who are infiltrating blogs, inboxes and MySpace pages to garner 7th Son more mainstream attention.

For this, the Ministry rewards their tenacity and brilliance by posting their names here. If you’d like to sign up for the 7th Son mailing list to participate in the propagation of 7S, simply fill out the form below.

Postions available in the Ministry

1) The Ministry is recruiting kind, creative folks who work in media, public relations and marketing. These are savvy 7th Son enthusiasts who can spend an hour or so a week assisting the Ministry in spreading the word about the podcast, and contacting industry professionals who can “make things happen.” The Ministry wants to invite more ubercool special guests such as Nathan Fillion to read “The Story So Far…” recaps. It wants to expose 7th Son to mainstream journalists and bloggers via press kits and press releases. Can you use your expertise to further the cause?

These aren’t paid positions, but the Ministry will place your name at the top of the Agents of the Ministry page, along with text/logo of your marketing/PR/media company (if you work for one). Links to your company/service will also be posted. Quid pro quo is a good thing.

2) The Ministry is recruiting graphic design visionaries. These are the brilliant folk who can occasionally create cool graphics for this website, or design brilliant flyers. You talents are coveted by the Ministry, and are needed. Can you push some pixels for 7th Son?

These also aren’t paid positions, but the Ministry will place your name in a special section of the Agents of the Ministry page, along with text/logo of your graphic design (if you work for one). Links to your company/service will also be posted.

3) The Ministry is recruiting YOU. You don’t need a degree in marketing to be an Agent of the Ministry. You’ve got an email account. Or a MySpace page. Or a blog. That means you can help.

The Ministry is compiling a Mailing List for 7th Son fans … and in those periodical mailings you will receive tiny, five-minutes-or-less “missions” to help spread the word about 7th Son announcements and milestones. Your involvement won’t take up much time — but you’ll play the most important role of all. You’re the front line, taking the message to the masses.

If you spread the word and can show the Ministry that you’ve done so, you become an Agent of the Ministry, and will be listed on the Agents of the Ministry page … with links to your site, blog, band, whatever. Particularly rabid Agents will be eligible for exclusive 7th Son swag not available to the masses. More on this in a few weeks.

So, comrade. Are you ready to help create an army of new 7th Son fans? Fill out the form below to add your name to the 7th Son mailing list … or to volunteer your creative services to spread the word!

MOP Mission #6: Operation LOL7thSon

UPDATE: This MOP mission-content has concluded. Please visit the LOL7thSon gallery here to view the final LOL7thSon gallery. If you wish to create your own LOL7thSon image, send it to Natasha at the email address below.

Comrades, the time has come to use your brilliance and humor to spread the 7th Son message to the unwashed, ignorant capitalist masses! Natasha, the Voice of the Ministry, conceived this Ministry of Propaganda mission herself. It demands cunning, creativity … and a familiarity with the Internet meme LOL CATS!

You don’t know of LOL Cats? Natasha is appalled. Click here to see cuddly American kitties with charming ‘Net speak cutlines. (Oh, teh CUTE!) Examine many examples on this site! Arm yourself with LOL language and whiskered wit! You will use similar techniques to evangelize the 7th Son cause, comrades. We shall woo the capitalist populace with teh funny, kthxbai.

Your mission: Operation LOL7thSon.

You shall create 7th Son-themed LOL pictures, post them to J.C. Hutchins’ special LOL7thSon gallery, and email your uneducated friends to promote 7th Son (and showcase your hard work).

The creators of the five funniest images will win 7th Son capitalistic swag. Prizes include an MOP coffee mug, a 7th Son T-shirt, and more! Natasha will personally judge these entries. As you know, comrades, our Russian taskmaster is not known for her sense of humor — so make these LOL7thSon images extra funny, if you hope to win.

So what must you do to win such coveted prizes? (Not to mention your name on the Agents of the Ministry page?) Easy-peasy, comrade. Follow these simple instructions to create your artwork to post on the LOL7thSon gallery. This process takes less than five minutes; even the busiest soldiers in The People’s Army can participate!

Step 1: Find a photo that you’d like to transform into a funny LOL7thSon picture. Images of public figures, animals, pop culture icons and your own personal photographs work best for this. Get creative! Please avoid using photos of private individuals who haven’t given their consent.

Keep it clean, comrades. If the photo is beyond a PG-rating, it’ll get yanked from the site. (You will also incur the wrath of Natasha and J.C. This is not a good thing. Nyet.)

Step 2: Once you’ve picked your photo, head over to the awesome “LOL Generator” at the Big Huge Labs site. Click here to easily add 7th Son-themed LOL text to your photo!

Step 3: Click the LOL Generator’s “Choose File” button to select the image you wish to LOL7thSon.

Step 4: Enter something super-clever in the screen’s text fields … and be sure to make it LOL-esque! Text can be placed at the top of your LOL7thSon picture, or the bottom, or both. Be sure to take advantage of the other features here, such as the “keep this part of my photo visible” setting, and the text alignment settings.

Again: keep it clean, Agents. PG rating here.

Step 5: Click the Create button!

Step 6: You’ll be sent to a new page featuring your new LOL7thSon image! Feel free to tweak the pic if you need to. When you’re done, hit the “Save” button.

Step 7: IMPORTANT STEP, Agents: Be sure to properly name your image to receive credit in the LOL7thSon gallery. Please rename your picture with this naming convention: The word “By” and then your name or nickname. (Example: By JC Hutchins.jpg or By NatashaMOP.jpg)

Step 8: You’re almost done! Visit the LOL7thSon gallery to upload your LOL pic! Click here to get there!

Step 9: Click on the “Upload” button in the page’s options bar. Follow the directions to post your LOL7thSon picture to the gallery. And behold! Yur in J.C.’s website, pwning hiz gallry!!!11!one!

Step 10: Now click on the “Tell a Friend” button and follow the directions to email FIVE of your friends who you think would like the 7th Son trilogy. They can be family, favorite bloggers, whomever you like. Be sure to separate the email addresses with commas. ALSO: Include NATASHA’S email address in this field! (7thSonMOP@gmail.com) You can’t win a prize if she doesn’t have your email address!

Include any personal message in the email to your comrades, but it must also include this message (or your personalized variation):

Hey! If you can, check out http://www.7thSonTrilogy.com to see why I sent you this silliness. I’m a fan of 7th Son, this free audiobook novel. It’s a thriller about human cloning. Think James Bond-meets-“Multiplicity” … or a mashup of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy. Cool stuff.

Remember, Agents: you must include NATASHA’s email address in your message for mission compliance. The creators of the FIVE funniest LOL7thSon images will be contacted by email, given priceless 7th Son swag, and announced in a future Bonus Episode of 7th Son!

Enter as many LOL7thSon images as you like — but you must email five new friends (and Natasha) for each new entry you create. No cheating, comrades. Natasha watching you.

Deadline for this mission: December 31, 2007.

MOP Audio Dispatch: Operation Droplift

Another ambitious mission awaits you! Natasha, voice of the 7th Son Ministry of Propaganda, commands you to participate in MOP mission #5, code-named “Operation Droplift.”

Complete this mission, and you’ll land your name on the coveted Agents of the Ministry page. Plus, you may win special GUEST APPEARANCES in 7th Son: Book Three. Five winners will announce “episode IDs” in future episodes. Another five will recite “The Story So Far” episode recaps.

MOP Mission #5: Operation Droplift

Comrades, the 7th Son Ministry of Propaganda is back from hiatus … and Natasha (and J.C. Hutchins) requests your help in re-starting the revolution. The prizes this time are most excellent: A Guest appearance on the 7th Son podcast.

Your new mission? OPERATION DROPLIFT. You’ll be spreading the word about 7th Son by “droplifting” our propaganda in local bookstores. Unlike shoplifting, you won’t be secretly taking something. You’ll be secretly leaving something.

By clicking the image above or the button at the end of this dispatch (or here), you will be directed to a PDF document. This page features special messages for future 7th Son listeners. Print this at least twice — more is better, but that’s your call — and cut the pages into eight little cards (each approximately size of Mao’s Little Red Book).

Take these cards to a local bookstore or library and insert each into a different book. The goal: To intrigue newcomers to check out 7th Son.

Which books should you choose? Natasha and J.C. have a few recommendations. Place these cards in older titles that still sell: fiction by Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, or Robert J. Sawyer. Or non-fiction books on human cloning, conspiracy theories, or the internet. Ultimately, the Ministry of Propaganda trusts its agents: Choose books that you enjoy.

This is not an illegal act … but it does require subterfuge, as some bookstore employees may not like the competition from our subversive media. Please note: Do not insert cards into children’s literature, such as such as Harry Potter or Goodnight Moon.

When you have distributed all eight (or more) cards, e-mail Natasha at 7thsonmop@gmail.com to notify her of mission completion. If she “in good mood,” she will give you credit for mission and enter you in an MOP drawing for prizes.

Ten lucky Agents of the Ministry will be rewarded for their loyalty. Five Agents will win opportunities to recite episode intro IDs in future episodes of Book Three (“You’re listening to Episode X”). Five others will recite “The Story So Far” recaps in future episodes of Book Three.

Deadline for this mission is one week after launch of Book Three: 7/14/07. Agents not completing mission by this time will be mocked publicly in front of the Kremlin. Now Agents: Go forth, print and spread the 7th Son gospel!

Download the propaganda!
(PDF format. Print TWICE and distribute cards.)

MOP Mission #4: Operation Start The Presses!

Comrades, there are six more weeks until Book Two: Deceit concludes, and it’s time to put the hammer (and sickle) down on our promotion. Your new mission for the Ministry? Mob the media. Infiltrate the press. We’re gunning for mainstream newspaper coverage … and we need your help in a major way.

For this mission, you’re more than Agents of the Ministry — you’re PRESS AGENTS of the Ministry. 7th Son may not be in print form, but there’s no reason it can’t be mentioned your local print media!

YOUR ORDERS
Contact a features reporter or the features editor of your local mainstream newspaper or alternative weekly. Email them the letter found below. Be sure to cc: Natasha ( 7thSonMOP@gmail.com ) in the email. That’s it.

(simple text file; copy/paste into email)

YOUR GOAL
Maximum exposure for 7th Son — and the “The Story So Far” celebrities appearing in these final Book Two episodes — in traditional media.

THE SPECIFICS
7th Son author J.C. Hutchins was once a journalist, so he knows some DOs and DON’Ts when it comes to contacting newspaper folk. Please follow these guidelines when sending your email:

• DO personalize the email. (Example: “Dear Mr./Ms. Smith…”)
• DO send the email to appropriate contacts. (Features reporters/editors, Books reporters/editors. NOT sports, business, editor-in-chief, etc.)
• DO NOT send mass email, should you choose to contact more than one person at a publication. Please send individually personalized emails to each reporter/editor.
• DO NOT send follow-up email, or pester the contact. (Reporters hate this.) If the reporter is interested in covering 7th Son, he/she will contact J.C. directly.

If you cannot find the email address for a local reporter/editor, take three minutes to call the publication and ask. No need to pitch the story over the phone; just get the info and skedaddle. Email’s the contact method of choice. It’s free, timely and efficient.

Five lucky agents will win a personal cameo in the 7th Son experience!
