Not that we don't appreciate him, but four of us have managed to electrocute Peter in our novels so far. That's as much excuse as any novelist should need for another death by electrical discharge, so what are you waiting for? Peter has already stated he wants to be in as many novels as possible, so the sooner you put a slightly-crispy-around-the-edges-Peter into your novel, the happier he'll be!

Maha! Checking in as someone who has killed Peter C. Hayward, Esq. in the first chapter of my novel via electrocution.
Sorry Peter :3

Actually, that sounds like a brilliant idea! Considering he's going to be surrounded by lots of shiny, intriguing technology in my novel I think a little bit of electrocution would work nicely ^_^ He won't die though ;-P

Hehe! Guilty of electrocution!
Bonus points to whoever managed to electrocute Peter in the prologue/first chapter too!

Could I have him eaten by electric eels?
Scenes with characters swallowed whole play better for (unintentional) comedic effect. Plus he could be electrocuted on the way down :).

For you, maybe. When I checked the board this morning, I was like, "...what did I do? Why are people plotting my death?"
Normally you have to know me for *longer* than a month before deciding to kill me. 6 weeks seems to be about the norm.

After the write-in last week (wed) I took some pleasure in beating my peter up, gagging him and dumping him alone in a locked room... too harsh? Well it was fun... I might even get him out of that room for a little more. There was no voltage involved but the story is not over yet. Oh, and just for fun I did manage to get a frog into a space mining / revolution story.

Well, if doing this will make strangers think I'm cool, I'll do it.
I'll fit in a Peter character somewhere, he can die a terrible terrible death for no particualr reason.

I needed a thug to die in a mostly-accidental drunken display of one of my character's defensive psychic abilities. I wasn't going to name him, but hey, I suppose his death could well make the newspaper. ;)
That'll learn this Peter guy for trying to mug an Other in the Valley to feed his methamphetamine addiction.

I'm writing about zombies now so perhaps I could electrocute a peter :D
Or kill him somehow creative. He will rise again!
