Too awesome. I’d love to read what some people are writing for this contest. It might inspire a whole cast of characters!
That’s wicked awesome!!! =))
sounds like fun! 😀
oh ya, and thank you!
This is awesome! I’m typing my responses right now 🙂
I am so in! This is a great contest and what would Igive to have a character named after me?……live on in a book♥
After reading/filling out the form I think you are going to have a blast reading everyones answers! Have fun and good luck everyone!
Will you notify the winner?
Yep!
Oh Em Cee! Thanks sooo much for this! 😛 Such a great contest! 🙂 Congrats to whoever gets chosen, no hard feelings! 🙂
I finally could fill the form today. I really wanna be in Swear!!
loove it!
i got one question: what exactly means “as it might appear in the novel “?
In SWOON, all of the characters have single-syllable nicknames (like “Sin,” “Dice,” etc.) … so if you were chosen to be a character in the sequel, you’d need a similar, single-syllable nickname.
what about Describe your best physical feature (as it might appear in the novel) ?
Wow this was so much fun! Thanks for such an awesome contest!
When will the winner be picked? & announced?
There were a lot of entries, so we need time to read through them all — in addition to everything else we’re working on here at Novel Novice, not to mention our other responsibilities! So … it’ll be a few weeks.
when do they announce the winner? Ive been waiting. 🙂
Nina & I are still going over the entries — there were a lot of them!
Just wanted to say
This is a neat cameo idea.
