Fight Club and Choke author Chuck Palahniuk’s official website is hosting a contest where the winner will have a a character named after them in Chuck’s next book. Pretty cool. Basically the person who gets the most people to go see Choke in theaters this weekend wins. And who knows, if Chuck’s next book gets adapted into a big screen movie (and chances are good since almsot all his books have been optioned at this point), you might even have your name immortalized in a feature film. You can read the full rules at ChuckPalahniuk.net.

  • Amazing. Im gonna go sign up right now. I love Palahniuk. I saw him speak in Miami a couple years ago. Got my signed Rant. Anyway, I would kill to be in his next novel, and will do my best.

    Everyone else - please dont do this. Stop. Let me win. Thanks.
  • Great author, it would be a honor to be in his book (novel).
  • yeah it would. ive only read three of his books but all three were fantastic. eventually ill get around to reading all of them.
  • Eliot
    Yeah, but he never says if the character named after you will be a GOOD character. For all you know, you could end up a pedophile like that guy in Michael Crichton's "Next."
  • Vin
    Seriously Eliot, that would be something he would probably do. Admittedly it would be hilarious if my name was turned into some Jefferey Dahmer style psycho with heads in his fridge.
  • seems like too much freaking work..

    "The person who gets the most people to go, gets a character named after them in Chuck's next book. Yes, this is for real. Clark and I spoke to Chuck on the phone yesterday, and he's completely on board with this.

    People who do the organizing will be considered Team Commanders... or, as Clark Gregg will be calling you, Lord High (insert name here). Everyone you convince to go also wins. Fox Searchlight will be sending you an official and limited edition CHOKE T-shirt. So again, everyone in the winning team gets something.

    HOW TO WIN:

    How do you prove to us how many people you convinced to go? Well, as a Team Commander, you're in charge of getting the proof from all of your team. That means, everyone you convince to go has to:

    Take a cell phone picture of themselves holding their ticket stub...
    Collect all of those pictures, along with your own...
    Zip up all of your teams pictures...
    Email them to chokecontest@chuckpalahniuk.net."

    yeah definitely too freaking much. and then when you start reading the rules and it gets crazier and crazier..

    i love chuck, i have read most of his books, but i dont have time this.. sorry..
