No doubt most of you read Neil Gaiman's blog and this is old news. For the handful that don't, check these eBay offerings out:
Stephen King
What he's offering:
"One (and only one) character name in a novel called CELL, which is now in work and which will appear in either 2006 or 2007. Buyer should be aware that CELL is a violent piece of work, which comes complete with zombies set in motion by bad cell phone signals that destroy the human brain. Like cheap whiskey, it's very nasty and extremely satisfying. Character can be male or female, but a buyer who wants to die must in this case be female. In any case, I'll require physical description of auction winner, including any nickname (can be made up, I don't give a rip)."
When you can bid:
September 8-18
Or a Lemony Snicket book?
Lemony Snicket
What he's offering:
"An utterance by Sunny Baudelaire in Book the Thirteenth. Pronunciation and/or spelling may be slightly 'mutilated.' An example of this is in The Grim Grotto when Sunny utters 'Bushcheney.' Target publication date is Fall 2006."
When you can bid:
September 8-18
or a Jonathan Lethem-written Marvel comic?
Jonathan Lethem
What he's offering:
"I need the name of a Columbia University professor for a comic book I'm writing for Marvel. It can be your name or the name of a friend -- but if it's a friend, I need to hear from them with their permission."
When you can bid:
September 8-18
While I am promising to put your name onto a gravestone in my next children's novel, THE GRAVEYARD BOOK.
And it all goes to the First Amendment Project.
