You're Invited To: The YA Prom!

WELCOME TO THE YA PROM

What is The YA Prom?

Well, YA Prom is a lot like regular prom. But this time you can skip waiting anxiously for that perfect boy to ask you, obsessively rifling through clothing stores for the perfect dress, all that other perfect jazz, and go straight to the partying on twitter in your pajamas!

All you really have to do to join The YA Prom is:
1. Write a post detailing who your YA date is (ex: Harry from Harry Potter), what you're wearing, and any other information you deem necessary.
2. Post said post on your blog/tumblr/wherever by June 25th at 8:30pm and link up to the Linky that will appear on both Gaby and Alexa's blogs when their prom posts go up.
3. Pop onto Twitter at 8:30pm on June 25th and, using the hashtag #YAProm, spend an hour with your twitter friends celebrating YA, prom, and other excellent things!

Please note the following: 
-If you don't have a blog or a tumblr, you can still join us. Let everyone know who you're going with and what you're wearing in a tweet and use that tweet to link up on June 25th in the Linky that will be on Gaby and Alexa's blogs.
-We'd love for EVERYONE to join - authors, bloggers, book aficionados... this prom is for all of the people of the interwebs.

So, mark your calendars, pick your YA date, do a little shopping, and we'll you at the YA Prom!

(Much love from your Prom Committee: Gaby and Alexa)

Hurray!!!! I feel like a lot of people will want to bring Four but that's okay because we have a cloning machine ;)

hahahaha when I was talking to my co-host about who I wanted to bring I was like "why didn't WE ever do this" y'know, considering all the other shenanigans.
YAY FOR YAPROM ON MY BIRTHDAY :D
(I won't be participating, because my birthday post is going live on that day :) )

You can (and totally should!) post the day before (or any other day before). Just as long as it's up by the Twitter chat, you're more than welcome to play along. And even if it's not, you can just tweet and link up with that! There's no reason you shouldn't play unless you're off doing awesome things for your birthday! ^_^
Is it tacky to bring my own LI to prom? Hahahahaha don't care. #LiamsAbsFanClub

DO IT. You basically built yourself a dream guy and put him in your book. SO.
This is so so cool! I'm glad this exists! I've always wanted to go on a date with one of my fictional boyfriends!

AND NOW YOU CAN! But you can also do that whenever you want. Y'know, just sit down and day dream a little ;)
Ha! I'm quite certain I need to partake in this. :)

QUITE certain.

(When Alexa and I were brainstorming this I was like BETTY. BETTY IS ON THIS.)
This sounds so much fun! Real prom is still three years away for me but I would gladly start the celebration early! Can't wait to see everyone's posts!

START PLANNING NOW!!! No, just kidding, definitely don't start planning for prom three years early. I wouldn't even plan for a wedding three years early. But I am excited you'll be taking part in YA Prom!!! :)
I want to go!!!! I'm going with Emperor Kai! :)

You can go with as many friends as you like!!! You can also get ready with your friends and then go with your honey... whatever you want, it's YOUR YA Prom experience!!
This is amazing! I can finally go to Prom with Will Herondale! I still cry whenever his name appears in the mortal instruments.
