If you were wealthy and knew that your favorite FR author would put a
charactor in his or her book that represented you for money.(1)Would
you do it?(2)Why or why not? (only answer #3-#4 if you would do it.)(3)Tell us about the charactor.{name,race,class,etc..}(4)What author would you choose if the choice was yours and
why would you choose them?
For now,I will only say I would.I will explain the rest of the answers
later other than The only way I would do this is after I helped those
that needed help first.

| No because I would want to write it myself. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

Well,I never thought of that possibility!!!! I'll have to reword my
questions.Thanks Trafaldi.
Would you share this character and some back ground history.
Let me make this easier for everyone so you can copy & paste,then add your answer.
(1)Would you write a novel or pay another author to write a novel for
you that adds one of your characters into the FR?
(2)Explain why you would or wouldn't.
(3)Tell us about the charactor.{name,race,class,etc..}
(4)If you had someone other than yourself write it,which author would you choose and why? |

(1)Would you write a novel or pay another author to write a novel for you that adds one of your characters into the FR?
Yes,I would if I were filthy rich but only after helping others.
(YES,for you evil people,helping others.LOL)
(2)Explain why you would or wouldn't.
Because I have always wanted a character in D&D books,I lack the skills to say I would be successful so I would rather choose someone who is.
(3)Tell us about the charactor.{name,race,class,etc..}
Whith out posting a Character sheet.>>>Will Strongheart,Monklvl.5/Roguelvl.5,Human,
LawfulGood,Str17,Dex14,Con17,Int13,Wis16,Cha16/Raised by an old halfling monk outside
Lluirwood in Luiren.There he was also taught the skills of the rogue by several of the
locals, all masters of the art themselves.Remembering nothing of your parents;When questioned
your foster Father and teacher; You have only been told that they died.After your 18th bithday
a dark hooded stranger came though the little village asking questions.Shortly after
the old monk,Tingert tells you that you he found you outside the jungles of Chult
and that he senses you are not totally human.Giving you supplies and a beautiful
dagger; Tingert,your teacher and the only Father you have ever known bids you seek
training with an old friend in Sembia.What did this all mean? Why were you being forced
to flee,though the monk told you it was part of your training you knew better.
As you start to leave the village the old man hands you a pouch of coins for the
trip and ship fare,also a sealed letter to give to your new master in Selgaunt.
Following the monks advice more out of love than obedience you leave for Shoun;
The closest city and from there travel with a caravan to Delzimmer and then
alone on the trails to Hardcastle and down The Road of Dust to Unthalass to hire a ship to Sembia.
(4)If you had someone other than yourself write it,which author would you choose and why?
Voronica Whitney-Robinson,Because she is beautiful! No,That she is but thats not the reason.(1)She has a long career ahead of her.(2)I believe she will grow in popularity in the future,especially since her work is diversified (not just FR).
(3)Also,who to better write about Sembia.(though the charactor doesn't stay there.)
(4)Its my Millions and I want to give it Voronica!!!

Well this didn't get much traffic.  Maybe I should have titled it "What I want everyone at Candlekeep to buy me for Christmas."
Maybe that would have gotten some kind of reaction.Tell me i'm stupid,
crazy,a dreamer,a dip $*@#.Hey,I've heard it before.Give me something,I don't ever expect anyone to agree with me.If,Thats what I wanted then I wouldn't post it here. |

I would love to get into a FR book, no matter how.
Ideally I would like to write a novel myself, but barring that I wouldn't mind someone else writing me in.
Problem is, I could write it, I just dont think I could create a suitable character...
So we have opposite problems William... |

| Yep. Damn sure I would write my own, or even pay someone to stick my most faved char into a game for me. My most fave char from all the games that i have played was actually nothing more then a jester. I really mean this. Very few levels of thief and fighter. And like. All the levels of the Jester class with can be found on the 3rd edition web site *will post up the link later, but is sure that it must have to be on this site SOME place already*. Its rather fun to play a char who would rather sit around make a foe get tired by telling jokes mocking him, saying odd riddles to confuse people, keeping in mind that odd riddles hold good answers for wuestions. Anywho... Just keeping you let thm get tired, make an attack on their money pouch then them. OOOPS! I didnt mean to rob him but its mine now. And he was gong to harm me. silly him. Had to stop him. |

who doesn't want his character in a famous writer's bestselling book. But rather want to see my name on the cover than my characters' name. But my lack of talent makes this imposible for me. maybe close to imposible. I would pay a not known but talented writer to write a book for me. then get rid of him and publish the book as if it's my. Upps shouldn't tell this in here. but you still don't know my real name |
Punish me if you will, for my hands are not clean. But deny me not my revenge!"

(1)Would you write a novel or pay another author to write a novel for
you that adds one of your characters into the FR?
Given the choice I'd prefer to write my own book. But it'll take me a while to tink up of a good character to put into the book.
(2)Explain why you would or wouldn't.
I like challenges... BRING IT ON!!!
(3)Tell us about the charactor.{name,race,class,etc..}
See qn 1
(4)If you had someone other than yourself write it,which author would you choose and why?
Either Lynn Flewelling, Margret Weis or oh crap forgot her name, she wrote Hapers of Pern, I'll get back to you on that.
Gives us females a chance, plus I like their writings, took me to another world it did, yes it did! |

tink... don't know might be. well you know us with our aussie slang and with s/h (shorthand) writing becoming more frequent and popular. If ya cut out the 'h' from think it becomes tink and still means the samething. |

Ok Will, I'll put my thoughts up..
1) Would I do it? I suppose Being immortalized as a charater in a book is almost as good as the real thing... ( Maybe better)
2) Why? Cause I'm looking for way to cheat death... and besides what eles would I do with all that money if I were filthy stinking rich?
3) Hmmm, WOuld have to be Either a Human or Half-orc Mage of some sort. Mostly because The main plot of this character would be to shoot for godhood using any means he can ( Think of a Karsus jr. if you will) Of most of his plots end up not on the massive dangerous Mage scale, more of the ingeinus yet always failing because of some minor miscalculations and corner-cutting problems.. All of his attempts do produce some sort of undesired side effect ( mostly for the benefit of people he cares nothing about an is enraged at earning a reputation for helping people even though he doesn't mean or want to at all).
4) If I couldn't write this in I'd probably get Jeff Grubb to write the book. Why? Cause I really like his work. His Teritus short stories are a killers ( I think) and I've always held a torch for his work ever since he got me back into books with his 'The Brother's War' a Magic The Gathering book. I swear, that book nearly moved me to tears... Any author that can almost make me feel get's my vote.
Oh an incase any of you are wondering why the Character would help people, Accident or no there is one unavoidible truth...(and as much as I hate to say this) Good guys rarely ever die.. SO, if he does good things by accident then he's a good guy and has coninued existence even though he's supposed to be as evil as they come.... I mean he'll also meddle in the Infernal Politics of both Baator and the Abyss |
It has to be Certain, the Gods Hate Me. For whatever irrevokable Fate, I have been made the walking Joke. Either that, or Beshaba is overlyfond Of Me.

Whoa , a little heavy on the planar-cant, aren't we William? .
Besides PS3e has seen fit to reduce the emphasis on planar cant, a hard habit to break I know, but then....

There is actually a more dedicated dictionary of planar-cant floating around the ether somewhere...although I am pretty sure that I had already sent a copy to you Bookwyrm. If I didn't let me know, and I'll send the complete file. It gets updates every so often.
