It's time to rally Team Kilt!!

Today is the day.

This is the FINAL round of the YA Crush Tournament hosted by The YA Sisterhood.

Zachary Moore - the LAST seed - has made it to the final showdown after battling some seriously strong opponents.

Today we face Jace Wayland. No one has been able to make even a strong showing against Jace.

Today that changes.

Zachary has the BEST advocates on the block representing him in Ficticious Delicious. They have campaigned tirelessly for Zach....writing poems and making the best book trailer/video that I have ever seen. Seriously - you NEED to check this out!

So how do we defeat the mighty Shadowhunter Jace??

How do we not end up looking like this 3 hours after the tournament begins......

We band together and FIGHT!

Zachary has made it through almost insurmountable odds because we love Zachary, we love men in KILTS, and most of all we love Jeri Smith-Ready - the author who has brought these fictional characters to life. No one supports their fans like Jeri. She has been beside us every step of the way - fighting along side of us. Staying up until the wee hours giving one more teaser, one more incentive as a reward for sticking by her.

Even better Team Kilt has raised over $1200 for the Tartan Army Children's Charity!!

So here's how we fight?

• First - grab a button. Let's make our blogs and our Twitter stream a sea of Team Kilt! I'm adding them all to my sidebar - grab the one that works for you. (Thanks to Sandy from Scribing Shadows for the Zach Attack button and my hubby for I Voted Team Kilt button!) There are even a few generic Lovin men in kilts buttons.
  
  
• Second - make a pledge. Go to Jeri's blog and make a pledge to raise even more money for the Tartan Army Children's Charity. Voting for smexy boys is fun but helping others is even better. So why not do BOTH? (I've made a $50 pledge!)
  
  
• Host a incentive giveaway. There will be a linky at the end of this post. If you are hosting a giveaway as an incentive for Zachary and Team Kilt, link it! 

Make it incentive based (*this* prize if Zach gets 1000 votes or if Zachary wins the whole thing) or just for fun. Your choice, but try to keep it linked to voting for Zachary please. **This is not the place to link up random contests.
