Dying for a good cause: Be part of the Newsflesh universe!

My planned Newsflesh novella for 2012 is a little piece entitled "San Diego 2014: The Last Stand and Final Fall of the California Browncoats." It's the story of what really happened when the Rising came to the San Diego International Comic Convention. Blood will spill, heads will roll, and a wonderful time will be had by all. The story will be set largely in 2014, with some modern-day narration and stitch-together from Mahir Gowda and Lorelei Tutt.

Where do you come in? Well...

The California Browncoats are auctioning off two Tuckerizations in this story, to benefit Equality Now. You can find details, and a link to the auction, in their original post. The first Tuckerization auction is live now; the second will be going live on November 20th.

What do you get if you win? Well:

1. I will write you into the story.
2. You will die horribly.
3. It will be awesome.

Also, if there is ever a printed edition of "San Diego 2014," I will supply two copies to the California Browncoats, signed, to be delivered to the winners of these auctions. This is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of the Newsflesh universe, and you have a chance to be a part of it. Literally. I mean, you can die.

Questions? Ask 'em here! And consider wanting a little zombie mayhem for your holiday season.

The whole "bid for the privilege of getting horribly killed in the next book" thing confuses me.

Once the bidding gets beyond a few hundred bucks--and it will--if I'm going to spend that much, I gorram want a page-length kiss with a hot warrior babe before I fail my blood scan and get air-conditioned by panicky soldiers.

well, it is San Diego Comic Con.

There's nothing saying that you can't get a beautiful warrior babe to kiss you before somebody dressed up as Pedobear or Deadpool or The Human Target or Peter Petrelli bites your pinkie finger clean off.
