i would certainly like to crop up in Terry Pratchets next novel. im just not sure i would like what i would be though.

last years bids were around the £2k mark to get into literary immortality.

putting this in a context of the BL. which one of Brians books would you like to appear in, as what character and to play what part in a situation.

answers on a post card.

I would have liked to have appeared as a character in the latter part of the series who had received one of harry golden darts. Someone who had some embrionic necroscope skills not all the responsibilities...

[The Bloody Lady]

so hang on, would this mean we would have to pay to be in a book?

if i was to be in one of brians books, i'd like to be one of the vamps, one of the more slightly *good* ones

why be a good person when u can go all out and be a mean bloodsuckin bone crunchin Wamphyri?

[VonDarkmoor]

i can tell u why i wouldnt want to be a wamp, the ebranch and the necroscopes are too damn efficient, too much stress from the ursurpers and you cant get sun block 100 on the source world (aparently). i would much rather be one of the good guys. of course theres always that the wamphyri do wear such cool sunglasses!!!

Sign me up for a bloodsucker role!!!!!!!!! I'd jump at the chance to be a Wamphryi in one of Brian's novels. All the vamps were so well written and profiled. Even the ones like The Lech whom had a smaller part were well known and remembered. Where do I pick up my fangs?

Ohhh oh oh oh, I wanna be Wamphyri too, maybe a dog lord. That could be cool

Awooooooo

I think I'd like to be a vampire, but one with a story about my transition... sort of like Thibor, or Faethor. Any of the ones that could recall their life as a human and then their ascention. Those stories always seemed to be Brian at his best.
