HELP ME BUILD MY EMPIRE!
Posted June 28th 2010
After 36 years (give or take) of writing stories, I find myself
hungry—not for food, but for power. I’ve decided to build a virtual
empire, but I need your help. Please pitch in and help me feed my
insatiable appetite for grandiosity.
How do you do it? By sending pictures to the website, which you must
caption yourself. We will want any and all junk/antique shops called
Needful Things in my empire, of course, but I’m also hoping for at
least
one Steve’s Used Cars or a King Motors. What a shame [Dark] Tower
Records is no longer with us, but somewhere in this great world of
ours,
there must be a Deschain Bakery or a Stephen’s Record Shop. And you
people out west, hurry to the nearest branch of my wonderful
grocery-store chain and snap a photo. (That would be King Sooper’s.)
Please remember, the caption is what makes a good photo; it’s like
chocolate sauce on an ice cream sundae, long teeth on a vampire, or a
black lace bra on Lady Gaga. It can be funny or gross. It can be a
little vulgar, but not downright dirty; this is, after all, a place
where nice people meet. More important, it’s part of my empire, and
should stay relatively clean. I have to represent, after all.
Someone out there must live in a town called Stephensville (never
Stevensville, that’s some other guy), or possibly King Corners.
Someone
must have an old King Cole bag they can photograph—I always wanted to
own a potato chip company. I am hoping that at least one British fan
will provide a picture of my really excellent railway station, King’s
Cross. How I love to visit my loyal subjects there as they set off on
their journeys!
Okay, guys and guy-ettes, you have your assignment: TAKE PICTURES AND
GROW MY EMPIRE! As always, Ms. Mod will be the final arbiter of good
taste and appropriateness. Will prizes be awarded? Oh, I might give
away
ten or twelve signed books if anyone really blows my mind (Ms. Mod’s
mind was blown years ago so she’ll be no help in that regard), but I
know you’ll want to do this just because…well…BECAUSE MY EMPIRE NEEDS
TO
GROW!
Thank you for taking care of this matter ASAP.
Steve
どうやらキングは世界中のキングファンからキング的な写真を送ってもらい、それを集めて「スティーヴンの帝国」をつくろうとしている模様。
なお、写真の送信は2010年7月19日から開始される模様。
