Name An Inherit the Flame Character Auction Is Closed

So I'm going to need at least two bit parts for Inherit the Flame. I could just name them "Mary" and "John" or whatever (no, actually that's not after Supernatural, it's after a friend's parents—and no, the friend's name is neither Dean nor Sam), but I figure people might be interested in seeing themselves, a friend, or so forth represented in these pages.

Thus! I am holding an auction!

Bid in replies to the threads below—reply to my comment, not to any previous bidders' comments. (Anonymous comments on this post are NOT screened, but must contain contact information of some description in order to win. Anyone who takes advantage of the lack of anon-comment screening to be an asshole to anyone or to evade a ban from my journal will find their comments deleted with prejudice.)

Bidding starts at $2 and goes up by increments of at least $2.

The auction will last until the tenth of April. The winner of each auction will be notified on that date and will have until the thirteenth to paypal.me or cash.me their winning bid. And then we get to talk details of the character!

Conditions:
* The character must be an artist of some kind—poet, painter, knitter, vidder, what have you.
* If the character is modeled on someone other than yourself and you have not obtained their consent to do this thing, do make sure that person will not recognize themselves in the description—at the very least, change the name to protect the guilty!
* If the character is modeled on a fictional character from some other property, let's figure out a way to not have the copyright lawyers jump down my throat, hm? I plan to sell this novella.

Okay? Okay!

Please follow my blog at Sunbow Publications, where poetry appears on an irregular schedule. Comments are love.

If you are able and feel so moved, I have a poetry Patreon on the by-poem schedule and a themed blog post Patreon on the by-post schedule, either or both of which you can support, or you can paypal.me or cash.me as much money as you like.

This is your weekly reminder that I have a GoFundMe.

If you want to send me money but want something instead of nothing for the money:

* my prompt call is still open
* I take fiction commissions (hell, I'll take nonfiction commissions, but I'm not sure what fair pricing for those would be)
* I proofread anything at $0.007/word (rounded to the nearest ten cents), turnaround time seven days or less (but don't insist on less unless you pay me more)
* I do tarot readings (one card for $1, past-present-future spread for $2, Celtic Cross spread for $5, standard disclaimer that this is for entertainment purposes only applies)
* talk to me about custom jewelry

Payment for all of the above through the GoFundMe, please.
