Your chance for fame and immortality has come and, like all other such offers in legend, song, and story, it'll cost you. Probably not your soul, though, unless PayPal has changed its policies.
Next month, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Amy Tan, Lemony Snicket, Nora Roberts, Michael Chabon and 10 other best-selling writers will auction the right to name characters, items, and places in their new works. Your name could soon be read by millions on subways, listened to on iPods during long lines at Starbucks, maybe even assumed by Curtis Armstrong in the straight-to-DVD adaptation. It's every American's dream!
Profits from the auction will go to the First Amendment Project, which seeks to protect the free speech rights of activists, writers and artists. No word yet if any activists will follow suit with personalized protest signs ("Hell No, Glen Harbecki of Ponce Inlet, FL, Won't Go!").
