Would you want to be a Stephen King character?

In August, we brought to your attention the First Amendment Project’s eBay auction fundraiser, in which people could buy the right to name a character in novels or stories by popular American authors. To be thorough, we are now reporting back on the results of the auction. Not surprisingly, bards with the most commercial appeal raised the most cash. Pam Alexander of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., shelled out more than $25,000 for the right to name a character in Stephen King’s novel Cell after her brother, Ray Huizenga.
