Contest! Contest! Contest!
Enter the What's Your Fortune, Cookie? contest to win an Amazon gift card! Details below...
I love the fine art of fortune telling (or the fine art of BS to those skeptics out there). I'm a sucker for psychics, tarot cards, Nostradamus, Magic 8 Balls, astrology... you name it! Whether it's real or not, I suck up fortune-ology with a straw. Unsurprisingly, I love the crisp prediction goodies otherwise known as fortune cookies. Several weeks ago I was horrified to find that my favorite part of Chinese takeout (the fortune cookie) was empty inside. EMPTY! No fortune! Nada! Clearly I was gypped.
To counterbalance my recent lack of fortune fun, I have decided to hold a contest to collect creative fortunes. Since asking for a bunch of random fortunes for me would be a bit selfish, I'm asking each participant to come up with a creative fortune for a fictional character or anyone (or anything) in pop culture. I will then choose up to three of the most creative (or laugh-out-loud) entries to win the following prizes:
First Place - $30 Amazon gift card
Second Place - $20 Amazon gift card
Third Place - $10 Amazon gift card
In order to enter the contest for a chance to win you must:
1) Be a follower of my blog
2) Leave a creative pop culture or fictional character fortune in the comment box below. Make sure to add the name of whom or what it's about somewhere in your comment. Keep in mind that fortunes in fortune cookies are short, so please don't write a dissertation. Funny entries will get extra kudos!
3) Enter ONE creative fortune per participant. You can submit up to TWO extra fortunes to be evaluated for prizes if you mention this contest on your blog, twitter and/or facebook page. Please provide me with the link to your online shout-out with each extra fortune you enter. This means no more than THREE creative fortunes should be entered by any one participant.
4) Remember to play nice in the fortune factory sandbox - no mean predictions, please.
An example of a pop culture fortune (for Brangelina):
An example of a fictional character fortune (for Pinocchio):
Now go ahead and entertain me with your fortune geniusness, my Nostradamus reincarnates!
*Adriana at Loves to Read was the first to answer my bonus question correctly in my last blog post. Congrats, Adriana! If you choose to participate, you can submit an extra entry*
Winners will be chosen on May 1st. Good luck and have fun!

Oh, man, yours are so good, I don't think I could possibly do better! I laughed so hard.
But this is a great contest, Amy, SO creative! I'm definitely putting it on my sidebar. :o)
Here are my weak attempts:
Tiger Woods: It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. And if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Goldilocks: Life is a bear, so if something feels “just right” with out being Prada, it probably is.
If you look for the good in people, you will surely find it.

You're in danger gurl
(though it's not really mine, I saw it on a twitter and laughed hysterically -- quote from Ghost)

I love fortune-telling too, I'm a dab hand with the Tarot cards.
If anyone tells me its all BS, I always say 'Yeah but why are you telling *me* what you already know?" which means they're not sure that its BS in the first place...
What an interesting contest! I would be devastated by an empty fortune cookie!
I'll have to check back to see more entries...
For Ash from Julie Kagawa's "The Iron King";
"Embrace the future and accept the past. The ice in your heart must melt at long last!"
