Austen in August WINNERS!!

Hello my lovelies!! I know you have been waiting very patiently, but let me tell you: putting this list of Austen in August winners together was almost as much work as putting the event together! Madness!! Removing invalid entries (where I found them), removing scammer entries (because yes, there are always scammers who just see the word "free"), and cross-refrencing everyone to make sure everything was fair and no one was winning more than once (because people yell at me when that happens, even though I think random is random... but I don't like being yelled at) - basically all of that on top of, you know, a job, means that this list took awhile to compile. (That sounded nicely Seussian.)
But here it is!  I THINK I have everyone, but if I've missed a giveaway, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, because it's entirely possible - I've scoured through the schedule so many times at this point that its all started to run together.
CONGRATS to everyone who won, and THANK YOU to everyone who entered or participated - and if you didn't win, I'd highly suggest picking up a few of these books to tide you over until next year! =)

Now, on to the winners*!!

*DISCLAIMER: Due to the nature of internet giveaways, I must inform you that:
  • I have emailed all winners, and they will have 48 hours to respond with shipping info. If they do not, their entries will be declared invalid and I will draw new winners. Sorry folks, but thems the breaks. 
  • In the instance that a winner has not read or did not follow the rules (an international entry in a US-only giveaway, for example), the winner will be notified of their mistake and their entry will be declared invalid, at which point I will draw another winner.
  • None of these prizes is being shipped from me or by me, therefore I am not responsible for any lost or unshipped prizes, or those damaged in shipping. Though I will work with you to contact the shipping party if the prize isn't received, I cannot afford to replace the prizes for you. (aka shit happens)
  • Due to the fact that a number of entrants have the same or similar names, or sometimes use screen-names and sometimes do not, I have tried to include last initials where known. However, there may be instances where the same winner has won twice under the same name, in which case they will have their choice of prize, and I will pick a new winner for the other.
    On a similar note, if you are unsure if you are the one listed because of name similarities, feel free to contact me and I will clarify.
  • All winners chosen using Rafllecopter/random.org; in some instances, where the randomly chosen winner had already won something, I did remove them and move on to the next randomly chosen winner. See above, re: being yelled at.
  • Abusive commentors/entrants and those found trying to scam the system will be barred from future giveaways.
