Do you think my willingness should preclude me from doing so? No one is ever turned away from reading and I'm sitting here volunteering to read for others so they can win?
I don't get offended easily but I don't like the implications of your comment, EBS.
I remember hearing a Jimi Hendrix babysitting story, maybe on YouTube, but I can't recall the name. Maybe we're thinking about the same person?? That'd be cool.
It could be. He wrote it awhile ago and he's a musician with stuff on YouTube. He first said no cuz he thought it wasn't Chuck's cup of tea but I've convinced him that it's Chuck's cup of eggnog which is much, much better. His name is Walt Silva.......
I'd be honored to read for anybody. Im planning on attending as many as possible. It's good practice. Y'all prolly don't realize but half of my face including my vocal cords was paralyzed bout 2 decades ago. And it reoccurs but the more the better. I could care less whose story I'm reading ya know????? It's about getting out there again for me!
I suppose I could hire a lookalike to read my stuff. That would be a two birds one stone situation as well because they’d be the one to take the bullet that was meant for me (I’m not speaking in metaphor -- I mean literal bullet).
Send me an email at karieannewatson@gmail.com so that I can get you the waiver to sign and you can send it back to me with the story you wish me to read for you. 15 minutes cap. I will practice it first so the next one is the 28th I hope I can get you on.
Chuck said yes! Good luck sweetie! Id be honored to help win you some money!
I would like to choose my writer. Im going to listen to a few of you guys and choose. Thank you so much for doing all this leg work Karie! You are too sweet!

15 minutes reading
I'm thinking the posted videos. And the length should be no more than fifteen minutes.
For what it is worth, I find audio easier to listen to on headphones as opposed to on a phone's speaker.
Seriously???????

What if we got a friend to read our work? Win by proxy?
I'm down to read for you and Maegan. That's an awesome idea!!!!
You have to figure out how to sign the waiver but its a great idea for the subscribers who can't make it.
Maybe if we get it notarized witnesses etc that could work?

No offense! I'm glad others are volunteering but they better remember to get that waiver signed.
Any possibility of including zoomed/recorded versions for those of us who live on other planets?
Maybe I can read for you?????
Why would he pay someone when he knows I'm a story whore?????
Story Whore
Maybe the Professor will let me read stories for others.......

Oops I deleted something by accident
Oh well........Brandon, wont our alliance be fierce if I read your story and it wins $5000. With me, you keep it all room no readers fee lol
He said yes btw
Chuck said I could read your story for the contest. Email me at karieannewatson@gmail.com and I'll email the waiver when Randy sends it.
So jealous. I hope you all have the most magical fun 🤩
Chicago gets all the love. How about Minneapolis.
Oh no. That means I have to start recording again.
Damn you Chuck
You did great last night.
Thank you!
I'm still amazed people draw the line at mayonnaise on hot dogs.
Pretty neat. I hope we all realize that raising the stakes could have gone in the other direction with the loser having to eat a bug.
Big what?
Sorry, bug.
Big bug???!??
I was down for big tho
Lol
Come to Canada!
Depends on where in Canada...
Huzzah!
Hoooooly POOP!!! This is MAJOR!!
Wowie zowie. Very cool idea. Like the academy awards for writers. We need a name for the contest......
And a logo. Also, a theme song that is catchy like the one for the game show "Jeopardy."
This is....ChuckPalahniuksPlotSpoilerNewStoryNightandContestMidwest!
Branding already?!
