Who wants me to kill them (in a book)??? [CONTEST] (Patreon)
Content
So I’ve come up on the writer problem of needing names for very minor characters, most of whom die, and I’m running out of film school colleagues to name them after. So, it made sense to bring it to Patreon! Do you wanna die in Truth of the Divine? Well now is your chance!
Because Patreon‘s terms of service says I can’t do anything that resembles a raffle, it has to be based on merit (and I have to choose, can’t be random). So basically, leave a comment below giving me your name (DO NOT DM ME, Elisa will delete any messages related to this post unread), or a made up name that represents you (NOT any other real person, living or dead, not anyone you know and yes we will be vetting names) as well as a short backstory. It can be your real life story or not, just a sentence or two. Don’t overdo it. And remember, Truth of the Divine is set in 2008. Also there’s a good chance that you will be a bad guy (and, spoilers, most of the bad guys in TotD are kind of in a fashy Proud Boys vein, so it's not the "fun" kinds of villain.) You won't be an alien. If you don’t want your name attached to this type of bad guy, let us know. There is also a very small possibility you might be a character that does not die. Wow!
Other things I Googled:
“No Purchase Necessary”
“Void where prohibited”
I reserve the right to take as many or as few names as I feel appropriate, but I will be in touch with the folks I select. While we're here, level of Patronage will not play into my decisions, so $2 or $100, it’s all the same.
The deadline for submission is 6 PM PST on Monday, because my deadline for the second draft is on Wednesday, and I should probably have all my names in there by then.
Also, needless to say, not reading the instructions is an instant disqualification. Have fun, you crazy kids.
