"Thanks again to everyone who participated, and thanks to Bev for her generosity. I think your name will get to be a corpse in book 14."

My god...
That poor woman paid $7,100 just to become a dead body?
What
A

I don't know whether to feel sorry for her, or laugh at ler...

But here is the thing will Anita so busy screwing everything that moves and having angst over what pearls and high-heels, to buy that wuss man of hers. Will she even notice the dead body of Bev? Better yet will she stop and investigate it?

mags
no seven grand but it you send to my pay pal will mention you in a blog rant.

... Well, at least the money is going for a good cause. Yup. *laughs*

*snorts* I find the fact that LKH hasn't planned the name even worse. When Neil did this sort of thing, he said it would be a name on a very important tombstone, and another time, the name of a boat. Planned, thought out and specified in the auction.

The fact that LKH just throws the name wherever it fits makes me feel really sad for Bev. Silver-lining, of course, at least Anita's not having sex with her.

Of course not, she's feeeeemale. *rolls eyes*

She paid $7,100 US to become a corpse? And to fix the animal shelter's sewer system?

Ooookay. If I paid that much money, I'd want it to

A) go toward something a little bit better than upgrading a sewer system -- okay, so sewage systems are very important, but still, knowing that your money is going to pay for plumming rather than giving the little fuzzy animals a better place to live, better medical facilities, a new program to help the animals more? That's got to be a bit of a kick in the teeth.

B) want my name to be used in a good way. I just paid a shitheap of money (pun not intended) to let this woman use my name, and while I have no say in the manner in which it's used (thanks, Darla for the clarification on the auction notice) - I'd at least want the author to make sure that my name has some significants, like the Neil Gaimen thing. I paid for this privelage, I want it justified.

I've yet to make up my mind if this Bev is a die-hard animal lover, or rabid LKH fangirl, or both. Course, I don't understand how anyone could give that much money away. If I went to spend that much, I'd like to have something to show for it.

Yeah, that is pretty weak. At least to give her a bit part with walk on...hell, for $7,100 for charity, maybe let her kiss something male and pretteh...

The thing that bugs me the most is this line:

"I think your name will get to be a corpse in book 14."

She says it like this Bev woman should fall down on her knees and kiss LKH's feet for the priveledge. Man, her attitude makes me want to vomit.

that is so typical. I wonder what it'd be if a guy won?

He would have sex with Anita at lest one time in the book? After that, he would die or vanish like the other characters (because the person only paied to be in one book).
Right now, to be a corpse in one of the books means, that you get zero attention and your name will probably be mentioned a dialogue, that reads like: A: "We have a body over there. It looks like a female stripper." Zebrovski: "Yeah. Her driver license says, that she's 22 years old and her name is Bev." After that come 3 chapters of sex and in the glorious epilogue, the crime is solved in one sentence ("The Ebil Vampire Circe was also the murder of Bev, the pooooor stripper in one of JC's clubs.")
