Would you like to be in a Star Wars novel?

What is Sean Williams new novel? Any word from Sue Rostoni?

 

I definitely agree with this idea. I'd definitely put $10 or $15 towards the chance, but I won't be bidding the amounts I'd need otherwise. Any chance the fundraiser for Sean Williams character could be done this way?

 

This is a great idea!

I did something similar when I was doing the Han Solo Trilogy all those years ago. I auctioned off the chance to be the Imperial Captain that pulled Han over and forced him to dump that load of spice, thus setting his portion of the Star Wars plot in motion.

I auctioned it to benefit the SFWA Emergency Medical Fund. Many freelance writers have no insurance, so SFWA helps during medical emergencies.

Two fans got together and pooled their money, so I invented a name that was a take off on each of their names for the Captain.

I wish you good luck with this, Karen. I hope the auction goes really well.

Wow, I didn't know that! How cool! What was that character's name?

 

Anyone know?

 

Tybert Capucot. Try to figure out the original names.

 

Are you still lurking here? lol..

 

She and a few others. Every once in a while I look at when the last time people logged in was... you'd be surprised who lurks, and how often.

Thanks again to Karen (and Sean!) for organizing this. It's pretty swell, and a very good idea.

 

Thanks, Anne, and thanks everyone for the support. The auction is going great guns, and will make a wonderful contribution to the overall fundraising efforts to help the victims of this disaster.

 

Thank you! February is generally our worst month for fires -- it's usually hottest then, and the tail end of summer down under. Every couple of decades we get a particularly bad run of it, in various places around the country. I've lived through a few bushfires myself, and fought them with a garden hose, so it means the world to me that the fans are so supportive.

And thanks for the kind words re Wild Space! I had so much fun writing Palpatine. *g* I got to let out my inner dark lord ...

 

This is a very cool idea, best of luck Karen

And of course Sean William's next novel is going to be about the continuing adventures of the Widowmaker captained by Arien Yage in the unknown regions....... What, it could be

 

Nice...


Good luck with this excellent idea, Karen!! I'll sure as heck try and get my mom to bid!!

 

There are roughly 4 hours left before the SW charity auction closes. The bid for being in my SW novel currently stands at $911 -- Aussie currency. So if you're thinking of jumping on the bandwagon ... jump now!

 

My mom bid on your novel, Karen, but we lost.

Glad to see the auction was successful, though! I noticed that, at one point in time, the same bidder had the winning bid on both novels. This was sort of off-putting, as it wasn't a very considerate thing to do...did they win both, I wonder?

 

So the auction is over, and the winning bid for my book was $1725.00. I am stunned and amazed and so, so grateful. Thank you everyone, for taking part and being so supportive. Fans are the best.
