denelianhe's one of my favorite writers. my "feminist guilty pleasure", if you will, since every feminist i know except myself hates him (he has this thing for male Doms and female subs... except not in everything...). except for that Thing, he writes awesomeness, and even manages to have a fair amount of female characters who are NOT all about being raped, etc, who are still able to kick ass and such.
and he has a group, the "Dead Man Group". not an ACTIVE group, you see, just tons and tons of people who offer their names up to be used in a book. generally as a dead body. so he asked for names that have funny nicknames, i offered mine with "Elizabreasts", because it IS funny even if i wanted to deck Dina the first time she used it to call me up at kareoke. here's my email from Mr. Ringo:
Dear Dead Man: Yer in. I should note that given the number of requests, even with my body count it's probably going to be a while before get to everybody. And I can't promise that I'll be able to warn people otherwise it would be work, work, work every day.:-) But yer in.
Take care,
John
Going with Elizabreasts:-)
!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously, the best thing to happen to me in WEEKS. i mean, i just found out yesterday that i probably STILL have that infection in my leg (which is why it hurts so much, btw, and i am pretty fucking pissed about it). so yay.
and no, i don't know which book. at a guess, if there is another Paladin of Shadows (which aren't even sci-fi, they are straight military fiction) i would guess my name will end up attached to another chopper combat pilot. or it might end up in a Callie book, or... i just don't know!
but when i do, it will be known EVERYWHERE!!!
