Here's the rules thanks to CJ:
Step 1. Find your name. That is the order you choose in.
Step 2. When it's your turn, “Call” ONE hero in the comments. (Anybody from all of literature, but you can’t have somebody who is already picked!
Who will you pick? Lisabea gets to start. LB, leave your hero’s name in the comments. Then Jen gets to go. And so on. After this round, everybody will have one hero, and draft round 2 will start.
At the end of 2 drafts, everybody will have a group of 8 heroes to bring.
Yes, trades are permitted.
Don't worry about obsessively monitoring this thing.
If you don't call your hero in 24 hours, we'll skip you.
RULES:
• No picking out of order. Once the woman above you has chosen, it’s your turn. (Not before!)
• Trades are permitted, but be clear about announcing the results in the comments or email so your host doesn’t have to play sleuth.
• If it’s your turn and we don’t hear from you for 24 hours, sorry, you’re skipped. But you can email your host ahead of time with your pick.
• Latecomers: SORRY, we wish everybody could play, but there has now been a moratorium placed on add-ons, due to the record-keeping nightmare this will soon become.

good morning, ladies! let's get picking!
good lord, look how many of you get to pick before me. better keep my hero picks close to the vest. or chest. or breast... mmm.
oh, didn't shannon c drop?
Hummmm. damn it. Sebastian is not happy that I get to pick two new heroes.Oh well, I am sick and tired of this monogamy/monotony
I'm FIRST?
So V & B count as one? Yeah?
No V and B don't count as one LOL they are 2
Okay Sula, Kim and Sarah are who we are waiting on to discharge a hero. We can begin the draft but those ladies can't pick until they let one loose (LOL *wipes tear* Gawd I crack myself up sometimes!)
Well they should have been ONE. I'm just sayin' (for the zillionth time).
OK let me reflect. I'd say Spock, but I'd get stuck with the...distinguished (elderly) one. And CLEARLY CJ should have him.
So is that a spock for Lisabea then?
Alright Christine let's discuss a trade between Clay and Gage. If your willing I will hand him over at the same time you hand over Gage... You game?
No. Not Spock. OMG.
OK I'm..going to chose...er... V.
Alright V it is... whose next?
hummm I think I Might just get away with getting the man I want!!!
CJ... Michael calls to me...
KB: Michael is calling to you? Hmmm. Will I grant him his heart's desire?
Alright *rubs hands together* who is next... Jen okay let's get this party started...
CJ--are you giving up Michael?
o_0
::lbea tiptoes past Sarai and steals Butch::
Michael deserves to be with me!! CJ, why are you so cruel?
:Sarai runs up behind LB and knocks her down dragging a screaming and kicking Butch back to the pool. He falls in with a splash has she wipes her hand of it:
Sarah dumped her man on the last post. Sula is in Taiwan and I haven't heard from her. Kim is golden as she only had 6 heroes to start.
And I have a list of 4 men that I want and I can only have 2! Arg the pressure! lol
I choose Callum from Laird of the Mist by Paula Quinn. Yummmmm.
He has a HUGE...
.

.

...castle.
roflmao! You're too funny Jen!
I chose Capt.Jack Sparrow! That is one hot pirate.
http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/
It's possible I may be asleep when it gets to me as it's nearly midnight in the UK at the moment. But Tracy has my pick.:) As long as he isn't chosen before my turn.
Oh it's my turn! Woohoo! Ok this is a really tough choice but I'm going to choose...
Jack Travis from Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas.
The heroine's thoughts of Jack when she first laid eyes on him:
The classic alpha male, the kind who had spurred evolution forward about five million years ago by nailing every female in sight. They charmed, seduced, and behaved like bastards, and yet women were biologically incapable of resisting their magic DNA.How could I not choose him???
This is hilarious! I love all the trading :)
Michael... Michael...
Jack Travis from Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas.*wailing*
DAMN IT, TRACY! You wench! You've stolen my man!
Shit! Who am I gonna choose now?????
*pouts*
*runs*
*reads all comments*
Yay! I can see that the one I want is still available!!!
Hee hee - mine too!
I'm not going to be online much over the next few days but Tracy's got my picks
Wait who did Sarah dump?
Never mind I've got it. Damn I hope my menz aren't picked...
naida you will love JACK!!!
Does Alys know it's her turn??
I'm biting my nails trying to decide who I want and hoping she doesn't pick one of them :)
I emailed Alice but I'm not sure if she can get online while she's at work. We'll have to wait and see.
Oh, dears. Hey, I know someone mentioned this, but is there a list of ALL the heroes already taken, because honestly I can't remember. :(
Man, I'm down at the bottom of the list. This sucks! *sigh* I shall email Tracy just in case I'm not around when my turn comes up. Who to choose, who to choose?
Bridget, I think the final chapter of the original DIK heroes thing happened at either LB's or Sula's blog.
I tried call her but she's not answering.
Alas the heroes from the original draft have been posted on the left sidebar of this blog for your viewing pleasure - thanks to Sarai.
Bless you, Sarai! Sheesh, now I have to decide. I've got four set aside...just in case. :)
Okay I think we might have to give up on Alys. We will skip her and come back to her at the end. Whose next
Hey guys! Okay, the final chapter happened at Sula's. just fYI. I have my hero ready to pick!!
I think it's Katie's pick. She's been around, so I'm sure she'll pop by today.
*tapping foot impatiently*
I'm nervous about Kate picking before me. I'm just saying. She thinks she owes me for the whole Roarke thing. ;o)
Accckkk! I thought I had this figured out until all Christine's men got dumped back into the pool. Sadly, I know my second choice will be gone by the time it gets back to me, but.....I'm choosing Acheron.
Good chose Katie! I wondered if someone would pick him up before my next turn. Give him a good home *sniff* Can I come visit?
Lesley should be around...I think it's still evening where she is. If she doesn't pop by I have her pick.
Normally I don't share, but I'll make an exception ;) You can come visit, Tracy!
I'm here - I pick Raphael from the book of the same name by D.B.Reynolds. :)
I am here! My hero is...
Lieutenant Howard “Six- Pack” Paxton Trial by FIre from Jo Davis.
BAM!
BIG. GUSTY. SIGH.
I'm not having a good draft. Dang it!
KB! I KNEW IT! LOL! Why am I not surprised! I knew it'd either be him or William from Breaking the Silence. Bwa-ha-ha! Bridget's a genius! :)
Poor Kati. You'll get a good hero, I'm sure of it! Only 4 more people to go! :)
Three more to go and then ooop. Almost said my new cabana boy's name!
I have Sarah's pick! She's at work and can't log on so she emailed it to me:
*Drum roll*
Jake Romero from With Caution by JL Langley
SACRE BLEU!!!!
No wow that's so awesome. ::sniff::
Sarah is such a naughty girl.
Ooh. I see some good picks joining the island (or staying, as the case may be.)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed over here. I've got my sights set on a certain hero. That man belongs in my bunk!
My guy is a newbie, which makes me happy. Chances of him getting snatched are low. Thank goodness! :)
HOLY CRAP I HAVE A LONG TIME TO WAIT and no internet this weekend nor next week SHIT!!!!!
OMG pick people for the love of all things Holy pick already *bites nails while eyeing girls*
DAMN IT I CAN'T TAKE IT
Jake Romero for me please!
I want a new hero to take the place of Lord Drake who I discarded and he is Finn Barret from Lovers and Other Strangers by Josh Lanyon in Partners in Crime 4.
(Hope I'm doing this right.)
Aaaaaaaaallright!!!! My turn, bitches!
And, I shall take....
Bigby Wolf, from Bill Willingham's Fables. I need a shapeshifter since I gave up poor Jacob ;)
ooooooooooooo Thea, that is SUCH a good pick *dies*
I emailed Amy to have her post her pick.
Also...it's Amy's b-day today!
Sorry I was late...
Hmm.....
I gotta take Illium aka Blue Bell from Nalini Singh's Angels' Blood!
Was going to go with Raphael, but he has way too much to do and beside Illium has pretty blue and silver wings *sigh*
Will challenge Michael to a dust off!
Amy SUCH a good choice!!! I was wondering if anyone would take him. While he wasn't on my short list he was definitely on the long one. Wow there are a lot of huts I'm going to be taking field trips to! lol
He is quite yummy. The whole black with blue tipped hair too! *g*
So it's my turn? I'm going with Vic Savian from Beth Kery's Wicked Burn.
Do you have your pearls ready Kati?
lol Sorry, couldn't resist!
They're my grandmother's pearls as a matter of fact, Tracy. ;o)
Heh. I'm just wondering if he'll have the butterfly??!!
lol Too funny Kati!
I have Tumperkin's pick but I think it's getting to be morning in her neck of the woods so I'll see if she posts herself.
Woohoo, only two more and then it's my turn!
So Tumperkin's going with a cast out:
She's picking up Bowen MacRieve from Kresley Cole's Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night.
She thanks you Ana. :)
7 more and then FINALLY I can pick!
My turn!
I am going with Raphael from Nalini Singh's Angel's Blood!
Hmmmmm...Once again I have chosen a black haired and blue eyed hero. I am going to have to change this up next time.
Apparently I really need to read this book LOL! Angel's blood on the list okay Ana you're next
poor sarai! Look how far down you are on the list!!!
Whoo-hoo! Two more to go & then it's my turn! Yay!
Woohoo!
My turn! and I get to pick my favorite hero from 2008: Jake Hawkins from Demon Bound by Meljean Brook! yay, we can has another Guardian who can teleport.
*ninja vanish*
Ana - um, why did you let Bowen go? Does he have any personal hygeine issues?
No, Tumperkin. It was because Sebastian MADE me. He wanted exclusive ahem, visiting rights. How I will explain Jake, I know not.
Ana I'm sure you'll think of something! :)
Great choice Ana!
One more to go. Tracy-you will give me the 24 hoursish before posting, yes? :) I know, I emailed it to you, but I would like to post my choice if possible. Just sayin'.
Sleeping pill has officially kicked in. My brain is nothing but a gooey substance at the moment. And there are crazy fireworks going on outside. Stupid Rose Festival. Boo!
Wow, T! you got Bowen! Okay, it's my turn! I'm going to pick the enigmatic Nicholas Brisbane from Deanna Raybourn's Silent in the Grave and other "silent" books. Welcome, Nicholas!!
Since I am not on the list, I am merely going to say, "Hell yeah!" in support of Tumperkin's pick of Bowen MacRieve.
My turn!!! I choose Jace McKenna from To Tempt a Wolf by Kate Steele. Mmm...the boy knows A. how to use his tongue. B. How to use his hands and C. How to please his woman. Le sigh.
Okay, I'm bad, but you know what? He's beyond yummy! :)
Rhis Vanur from FINDERS KEEPERS by Linnea Sinclair. She writes the BEST heroes. *happy sigh*
My turn! eeeeee!! I have been holding my breath here. I thought for sure that Ciara was going to steal my hero...
Charles Cornick from Patricia Briggs' Cry Wolf!
(please tell me no one has him and i just missed seeing his name on the lists!)
*headdesk* Shannon thinks of all the best heroes. I think I need to launch an attack on her hut.
Are we picking a second hero or skipping to the book picking? I'm confused.
Oh honey, just wait until my next pick!
::rubs hands with glee::
Ciara-You & me both. The book pick post sounds like we've already picked our two heros, but that's not true. I don't like being confused. :(
Ahhh - looks like it's my turn to go. There are two that are really calling me - but - I think Gabriel from Broken Wing is my pick.
Shannon - you're safe - no one else has him.
Sarai is offline for a few days so I'm posting her pick:
Harry Dresdan from Jim Butcher's series
I've emailed Sula but I'm not sure she's back from Taiwan yet. I'll give her a bit of time and see if she's around before we move on. :)
Good pick Shannon!! I might be sneaking into your hut later ;)
Oooh. Good pick Ciara! Totally forgot about him. *bad amy bad*
Ok Sula's pick is David Cooke from LB Gregg's Happy Ending. He can give her massages AND wait on her...beauty.
Ok Alys...you're up and then we'll start the new round!
Aymless - I have fallen head over heels in love with Linnea Sinclair and her scrumptious heroes. If only Kel-Patin and Sully were still free...
Alys had connectivity issues. The WORK people too away all here access to her blogs! Boobooo
I am playing her life line, But I'm not received any e-mail from her yet. Still waiting
lol Thanks for the update Amy! Tell her to take a bathroom break and text you her hero! lol
She DOES get to pick 2 in a row so she better be prepared! lol
Has anyone heard from Alice? Did she email anyone her picks? I hate to pass her but...We can't let it drag out...needs to be done by Monday! :)
Can someone add an 'a' to Raphael's name on the list that's on the original post. He's currently listed as Raphel.
oh picky, picky! lol No problem, sorry about that!
ok folks we're moving on...
I have Sarai's pick since she doesn't have internet access right now and that is:
Clay Bennett from Mine to Possess by Nalini Singh!
Ciara: *g* There's no way I'm giving up my Kel Paten.
And I can't believe my luck that my next pick is still available. Sweet! My next choice goes to - and I'm thinking there will be a lot of shock over this pick *drum roll*
Lord Ian MacKenzie from The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie by Jennifer Ashley
Good pick Kristie!! I definitely had him on my list!
ooh ooh OOH! My turn!
My hut is bursting at the seams with law enforcement Alphas. With so many cops, FBI agents and the like, crime is pretty damn low. Sadly, this leads to take charge men with too much time on their hands. (When they aren't taking their turn... entertaining me.) Therefore, I am going to pick a hero who is certain to stir up trouble, giving both me and my incredibly managing Alphas some excitement.
I choose Wraith from Larissa Ione's Passion Unleashed. That man is 6'6" of leather clad, fanged trouble. Yum-my!!!
Rupert Carsington from Loretta Chase's MR. IMPOSSIBLE.
No one has him yet, right? I've fallen for his devilish charms and the way he falls head over heels in love with the heroine. :D
Sorry I had to delete that last comment - I realized that my mom was still signed in from when she was here earlier! lol I kept thinking, who is Judith and why is she posting on our draft? duh! lol
Anyway....Shannon, great, great choice. I love Wraith.
Ciara - I don't know you're hero - obviously yet another hero/book I need to look up. :)
Ok - just heard from Bridget via her Blackberry...her internet is down at home so her pick is: *drum roll*
William Jackson from Breaking the Silence by Katie Allen.
Awesome pick BL! I love the strong silent type!
CJ's turn then me! woohoo
I have no idea who I will pick next!
What the hell am I talking about. OF COURSE I know who I will be picking. OMG. how did I not htink of him before? shame on me
Oh, SO sorry! I wasn't checking the comments and I thought the game stalled! Yikes. HOWEVER, I am here now, and I see that nobody has chosen handsome movie star Jason Andrews
**coughGeorgeclooneyasfarasI'mconcernedcough**
From Just the Sexiest Man Alive!
Ana, I hope that wasn't who you were going to pick!!! **Fake innocent look**
no it wasn't!
My next pick is Kvothe , the hero from The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. He is a fierce demon killer, he is a magician, he recites poetry and plays the lute , he lies, he cheats, he fights. he is red-haired with green eyes. he is a namer - he can call the name of things. he is Kvothe. you may know him. he is mines.
Here is a sketch
http://goblinn.com/chronicler/files/2008/12/kvothesketch4hairfaceeyesm.jpg
Not to be a whiner but--
I'M LAST??!1!?!11!

I have Kim's pick since she is at her mom's house!
She picked: Reaver from Larrisa Ione's Demonica Series
LB - You are the last one this round! Sucks doesn't it? Sorry! :)
Whee! Two more and it's mine turn again *squints and crosses fingers*
Sorrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy!
Nardi St Vallier from Bliss by Judy Cuevas. *swoons*
Really, can one ever have too many Changeling? I don't think so.
I pick Riley Kincaid from Nalini Singh's Branded by Fire. All protective and fierce. Yum!
One can never have too many yummy changeling heroes! Ooohh... Riley good choice!
OH! Holy Smokes my turn! Whee!!!!
Hmmm.... so many to choose from...
But every girl needs a magical flying cat! *g* Gonna pick up KB's cast out:
Rainier vel'En Daris aka Rain Tairen Soul
Damn, it's my turn AGAIN!?!?! You ladies move fast. Ok. I'm gonna be taking Sheftu from Mara: Daughter of the Nile. I can do that, right? *grin* He's a rich egyptian lord/rebel. Gotta love him.
Hi Guys

http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/
Naida - I think Kim already has him!!! Let me check...yep - Maddox from Darkest Night. So sorry!

Jen - that good huh?
Two words ladies.
