[Dargon-writers-list] Strange Publicity Stunt

[Mark A. Murray]

Adding real life celebrities to a world where people come to read 
"fantasy" is just wrong in my opinion.

Do what you want, though.  Just drop me from everything if you go ahead 
with it.  I'll not have my name associated with this kind of stunt in 
any way, shape, or form.

It's one thing to have famous people endorse what you are doing, but it 
is an entirely different matter to actually *put* celebrities inside the 
realm of fantasy in this manner.  No, not my cup of tea at all.  That's 
the last I'll say of it.
