You know when you watch a great book trailer (like this one http://vlcphoto.blogspot.com/) and you wonder who makes them? Well, Vania Stoyanova is one of those visionary minds. Vania is offering: a minute long, custom book trailer containing original VLC Photography, story-boarded and styled with your book in mind. A $1500 value. (Condition: author must cover any expenses).
UPDATE: VANIA SWEETENS THE DEAL:
Vania will choose to do a book shoot for a random author who's already bidd on trailer after bidding reaches $750.
All I can say is, this better be the best damn trailer in the history of moviemaking. Mine will be produced in the garage, with the cat and a flashlight. ::off to eat bitter pill of defeat::
(I was totes going to $800, but no more. Could you feel just a leetle bit guilty?)
I just went back and read all the comments on this auction. Hilarious! Wish I had known last night. I would've gotten the popcorn and watched the show. Glad it had a happy ending, with no death!

ReplyDeleteLeah Clifford
I am excited for whoever wins but I'm leaning towards the awesome hair!
ReplyDeletePlease, Shades, if I'm going to sneak up and outbid you on something, it'll be the website, not the trailer ;)
ReplyDeletemy hair is pretty fantastic. although it needs to be re-dyed. the pink parts are more like white right now.

ReplyDeleteOh, this is fun. I am with Hannah, project due tomorrow. I haven't even started! This is more fun!

ReplyDelete*cheers w/ popcorn*
If only Maureen Johnson were bidding, these gals would have their own three-way Saturday Night Live routine going...
ReplyDeleteAudryT
Is this going to beat Janet Reid's item? Could this be a new record? Should I round out this comment with a third question?
ReplyDeleteThis....is the best thing...I have EVER seen in a charity auction.
ReplyDeleteI fear for someone's life tonight, too. So it does have everything. Drama. Suspense. Humor.
DAMN IT MANDY
ReplyDeleteAnd no Amanda, it shall NOT beat Janet! =P
ReplyDeleteDerek can stay. I like Derek.
ReplyDeleteAnd talshannon.
But MANDY. more like HEARTATTACKANDY AM I RIGHT
*crazed*
Hannah
ReplyDeleteDon't panic.
It's just me.
:p
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I'm thinking. How much can I spend before hubby freaks out...
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't let Hannah rest on her laurels. 32 min. and counting...
I feel iffy about how my name got pulled into that comment, no lie.
ReplyDeleteiffy as in i thought hannah was gonna cut me.
*roots for Hannah*
ReplyDeleteI don't want to see her head explode tonight.
clone i would never cut you.
ReplyDeletei want you guys to know that i typed "sic sempur tyranus" into this comment box, then decided that would probably not be best.
and yet here i am, posting this comment...
TEAM DEREK
ReplyDeletejust 'cause
Does the auction end at 11:59? Or do bids at 12:00 count? In case that is an issue here.
ReplyDelete*PSYCH!*
ReplyDeleteOk. Just seeing if you're still paying attention.
*tension mounting*
Waiting....waiting....
Hannah, since you and Derek are such good buddies now, tell him to go back and bid on our seriously fabulous agent!! :p
ReplyDeletefor once I appreciate sage posting here
ReplyDeleteFOR ONCE
(for anyone watching who is confused, sage is my bff so don't worry about it)
Just so you guys know...Derek is the big bidder in Janet's auction. So if this beats Janet's item.... ;-)
ReplyDeletebree, my professor hates you. i haven't started this paper, and he blames you. he told me.
ReplyDeletederek, go bid on suzie, hello.
Lisa, you're fabulous agent is currently splitting my money attention with the also fabulous Janet Reid.
ReplyDeleteI'm so torn, you have no idea. I want to buy BOTH. But sadly I cannot :(
MAN I just want that crown for a sec even as the highest bidding item *i wish may i wish i might*
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I just did the very thing I kill people for:
ReplyDeleteUsing "you're" instead of "your"
Wow. This drama has me totally messed up.
i worried about bree's safety if she tries to beat hannah.
ReplyDeletevery worried.
this is the sort of stress that causes mental breakdown, people.
Yeah, well I have a whole FRAKKIN' book due tomorrow. Go play your tiny violin somewhere else!
ReplyDeleteDerek--There's a reason The Janet Reid calls Suzie the Suzinator...
ReplyDeleteI think I'll take the crown for the most dramatic auction/most entertaining one too!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely wins the award for most posts
ReplyDeleteBest. Mother's. Day. Ever.
ReplyDeleteIf only I had $800 laying around...
Trinity.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot just come into my thread and post "$800" all willy-nilly.
I'm sorry, but I live in Maryland and I just checked my state constitution and that's actually illegal. So.
Reverie, I only just realized that you were Vania
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I cant even believe it hit $750!!!!
ReplyDeleteComments or no comments you guys rock!
Haha Trinity, you prob. gave these poor bidders a heart attack by using numbers :p
ReplyDeleteAnd FYI.
Bidding goes to 12:00.
OH HI SAGE!!! Yes I'm Vania.... Surprise! Been lurking in here all stealth like!
ReplyDeleteYes Trinity. I can side with Hannah on that. Heart-attack barely averted.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure anyone here but andy understands how scary i really am.
ReplyDeletepretty soon janet's going to be calling me hannahtron or some shit.
Now I want Lisa to tell me the actual reason Janet calls Suzie the Suzinator....
ReplyDeleteBut I suppose that's another post.
17 minutes!
This is the most painful exciting thing I have ever done...
ReplyDelete::quickly counting pennies::
ReplyDelete::digs in couch cushions::
::daughter could wait a while for that filling::
::who needs food anyway?::
But...it's a long, long time before my book comes out. Also, I'm too young to die.
I was like, "This Reverie girl is really into it," lol. This makes sense now.
ReplyDeletehhahahah Oh yeah I am!!! Would have been even funnier if I was popping in other auctions cheering, but alas I am not that crazy!
ReplyDeleteHannahtron destroys all hope of victory.

ReplyDeleteOriginally, the comment section was STRICTLY for bids. But look at this.

Hannah, what will we ever do with you?
Come on you pansies! We can take Hannah if we do it together. Besides I do travel with a professional bouncer (or at least she claims to be).
ReplyDeleteGIVE ME BOOK TRAILER OR GIVE YOU DEATH
ReplyDeleteWell, I for one am going to pay Vania to do mine the old fashioned way. But it won't be nearly as entertaining.
