Who’d like to pick a name that will live FOREVER??

Mwa ha ha.

The Writeathon is in T minus 2 hours. I’ve been tasked with keeping YOU glued to the internet for the duration, so here’s my carrot:

I will be auctioning off the FOLLOWING NAMES of characters and places IN MY PLAY, The Ugly Princess, as I write it. Click HERE to donate.

For $50, you could pick the name of —

The mad king
The handsome prince
The smarmy manservant
The pretty – but mean villianess.

For $100, you could pick the name of —

The country the ugly princess rules, or
The country the handsome prince is from.

I’ll announce the names, and the donors who’ve picked them, as they come up. The ugly princess herself has already been named, thanks to a donation from Dale Lee Kwong! But I’m keeping that under wraps until just before the Writeathon ends, tomorrow at 7pm!

$10,000 to see a bunch of monkeys write?

Nah.

The idea was to get a bunch of playwrights to lock themselves up and write for 24 hours, in the hope that others would show a little mercy and sponsor us to do so. All to support Alberta Playwrights Network, who would, in turn support those playwrights. The goal was a rather whopping $10,000,

We’re at $9,575. So the goal has been pushed UP. To $15,000.

Now that you’ve picked your jaw up off the floor (hey, I had to, and I’m one of the writers!), feel free to tell us monkeys to write even more and donate too. The 24-hour-clock begins at 7pm, on 22 November 2013!
