1. This is all about supporting The Pixel Project’s “Read for Pixels” campaign in a fun way. I am donating this reward with good cheer, and the donor agrees to accept the reward in the same spirit.
2. I, Libba Bray, agree to provide the donor who claims this “Read for Pixels” perk the honour of naming a minor character in my next novel which is currently scheduled for release in Winter 2028.
3. The donor may name the character after themselves or name the character in honour of a friend or family member or even just name the character any name they wish. However, the donor acknowledges that I have final veto on the naming and may need to adjust the name to make it fit within the story’s setting and style.
4. The donor agrees that I can use the name for the character in my story, and they grant that right to me, my publishers, and to whatever edition or form the story may take in the future. The donor also understands that the inclusion of their name for the character in the story in no way earns them any sort of monetary or other compensation whatsoever.
5. If the donor changes their mind about the inclusion of their name for the character in the story, they may notify me in writing. I can only promise they’ll be removed if the notification comes before the story or the book containing the story is published.
6. If it is apparent that the donor is using their donation for evil intentions, I reserve the right to back out of this agreement. Evil intentions include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned request that I am asked to use a person’s name with the intention of causing them embarrassment.
7. I am not obligated to show the donor the pages in which the name of the character will appear prior to the publication of the story. If I do so, it will be a courtesy and will not bind me to make any changes requested by the donor.
8. I promise to send a signed copy of the book to the donor free of charge to the address they provide anywhere in the world. I also have the right to include any additional gifts, such as buttons, pens, other free books, pocket lint, or magic potions as I see fit.
