A group of American authors has decided auction names of characters in their forthcoming novels, in a bid to raise funds for the First Amendment Project.
Participating authors include Neil Gaiman, Dorothy Allison, Michael Chabon, Dave Eggers, Karen Joy Fowler, Andrew Sean Greer, John Grisham, Stephen King, Jonathan Lethem, Rick Moody, ZZ Packer, Chuck Palahniuk, Nora Roberts, Lemony Snicket, Peter Straub, Amy Tan, and Ayelet Waldman.
I bet they could do even better and republish old, classic novels using auctioned names. After all, I think it would be cool to replace Cujo's name with mine.
