If anyone emailed me and hasn’t received a reply, I either didn’t get your email or you didn’t get mine.

And it’s not too late if anyone else wants to be immortalized!

LOL! I’m 5’6", Japanese and a straight male.  
Sending email! 😃

If you’re willing to be named after a character in a book who will most likely be eaten by a zombie,  
The character, that is, not the book,  
As zombies tend not to eat books, but rather humans,  
Delicious humans, or human tartar, as they prefer to call it,  
Or they would prefer to call it, I should say, given that they have no language,  
No mode of speech, nor of communication,  
These zombies rarely say anything other than “Braaaaains,”  
That being said, said by a human, that is, not a zombie,  
If you would like to appear in this book,  
And possibly be eaten by a zombie,  
My email’s in my profile.

Ten of you have been incorporated into my novel as of last night. Mwahaha!

So far, I’ve got fourteen more Dopers to cram into 25000 more words. If you start feeling a bit claustrophobic, blame it on the font.

**JS Goddess,** just sent you an email with my monicker, for immortalization in this momentous opus…

I want to be the French bad guy with a mustache… 😛

Cheers.
