Cameos
« on: April 06, 2004, 06:11:07 AM »
So, I'm entering a portion of my current book where I have to devise a lot of names.  Anyone want a Cameo?  I could throw in something close to your name, or perhaps a version of one of your usernames, if you wish.  Firstcomers get speaking parts.

oo! Oo! me! Me!

you'll have to twist it a bit, of course. But Eric, or any of my many animal nicks could potentially be done. Eric's probably the safest.

Well, Lord Rian Strobe just got added to the book.  He's even got a line!  (He asks a young lady to dance.)  

I'll see what I can do with Eric when the next name shows up.

You'll have to wait a few years to see your doppelganger in print--projected publication of this particular book isn't until 2007 (though we might decided to flip it with WAY OF KINGS and publish it in 2006.)

Hm, I'm in.
Maybe some variation along 'Elariel', another of my nicks.  Or my name.  Either or.

Heh.  Stet is a writer, not a character.  He really wants to author the "Arthur vs. Cthulhu" story, though.

Any chance of a noble knight/paladin character needing a name? Feel free to use "Swift", my old nick, since that probably suits the setting better.

eh, I allready have an important character in one of your other books sorta based off me so I guess I'm fine for now.  But that one, as you once told me, probaly isn't going to get published.

But you should place a palladin in one of your books who's a defender of the perfect breakfast topping....mmmmm.....Jam.

I wish I had some Jam actually. There was none in the house this morning, so I had to skip breakfast cos toast without Jam is just so 1998.

Eric is a writer too, but that doesn't prevent him from wanting cameos. Stet is, apparently, my nemesis.
