Over at Bookslut, Michael Schaub is running a contest to see who can come up with the best send-up of Dean Koontz’s anti-Japanese remarks. In Mike’s words:

At any rate, I’m happy to announce Bookslut’s First Annual Man, Is That Dean Koontz a Prick or What? Contest. In 250 words or less, write an erotic, tender-yet-sexy story about Dean Koontz having some sort of hot, life-changing physical encounter with a Japanese guy. Send your stories as plain text in an email to mschaub at bookslut dot com, with “Man, Is That Dean Koontz a Prick or What?” in the subject line. All entries should be submitted on or before Friday, November 18.

Whoever writes the best/hottest/funniest story will receive a copy of Tod Goldberg’s Simplify (read Bookslut’s review here) and a copy of Lee Goldberg’s Unsold TV Pilots: The Greatest Shows You Never Saw, as well as whatever Dean Koontz book is cheapest at the used bookstore. Also, I will sign the Koontz book, possibly as “Mr. Teriyaki.”

Enter now! It’s erotica with a cause. (The cause: my own personal amusement.)

Priceless.
