It's Gonna Be Awesome.

Holy shit!

Okay, somebody called my "If anybody donates this much I will come up with something awesome--something so awesome that I have no idea what it is yet" bluff.

Um.

Right. Need to come up with something really awesome.

Possibilities I've thought of that may or may not be included:
* A character that is not just named after you, but actually *is* you.
* Some ability to ask "but what happened next?" and get a story written in response.
* Original art--need to check with the actual artist about that--or at least signed, numbered etc.
* Signed rough draft pages?
* Special edition rough draft/finished novel? (Pg. 1 rough draft, pg. 2 polished novel, etc.)
* Special "art of CoBB" book
* Access to episodes/podcasts ahead of time, or special "side episodes" (This is also something I've thought of setting up for anyone who donates--at least for the next episode they'd get an email or something like it saying, "Go here for an early preview/special episode.")

So--any suggestions? What do you think the awesomest thing a writer can do is?

I like the thought of transforming someone's environment eg their home, their street.

Do you mean like using it as a setting, but changing bits to fit the time period, etc? That's a neat idea.

Yes. Kind of making the person's mundane world into something special. Which is what they did in meeting your challenge, so it's a fair return *and* it's something that can fit your work and your visions (more magic this time for everyone else).

Hmm. I like it.

Though for this story, that would mean covering their street with the dying, but y'know, whatever floats their boat...
