Slappy, you can be on the back cover. The hero will be on the front.
I'm sorry, cav, I didn't know you wanted to be in the story. I already have a rough draft written out, and I'm not sure how to fit you in.
I could be a serial killer....get it? Serial, books...ah, never mind. You can leave me out, but I'll read it.
Oh! I have the most awful idea that I will pretend is good in the hope of modernist kudos... how about this: Cav is writing a novel INSIDE my novel... but Scoates stole my novel and bastardised it (putting extra Digimon into it) scrubbing people out. Then, the unlikely couple of McGentrix and BPB team to-gether for the sake of humanity (and for a prize of 50 worth of Edam cheese) to try to recuperate Cav's novel.. or, at least, the fragments inside mine... but then, I'm on the run from The Bunny herself, who has been indoctrinated by Gus to get everyone thinking that they're Emma from the Jane Austen novel of the same name... it all comes to a climax with an unusual scene involving Letty picking zucchini and contemplating. It's a classic, I tell you!
Did you forget to ask me if this was a good idea, scoates?
As long as it is indicated that I am tall, with lovely smooth hair, I'll be in anyone's novel. :wink:
*Notes down this for future reference...*
No novel can be complete without me in it
My thoughts exactly; how could you write an A2K novel without you? How can you write any novel, in fact, without you? Your absence is why I abandoned reading 'Homage to Catalonia.'
I'll write a sarcastic, completely unfair review, trashing the basic premies of the book that you can use to create a marketing campaign that will tap a hug sympathy audience and make all of you a bundle.
Excellent idea, Acquiunk..
The only problem is that Scoates, the evil King of the Pink, will get all the money; not us. (Unless we enterprise and claim that our ideas were stolen, or if we just use the novel to get ridiculous publicity for our own plans...)
Sometimes a novel is just a cigar. Erm, something like that....maybe I'm thinking of 'This is not a pipe or a novel.' Hmm....better get out the Bartlett's...
Nimh! You're back! I haven't seen you for a long time (since debating the usefulness of Russian, I think;) how have you been?! You haven't been off to Central Asia again, have you?
I thought that it went like this, Cav: 'Novels are just like the Old Coke; you gotta do a helluva trekkin' to get one, and a helluva search to find one that's not out of date.'

Well, that explains Studio 54. 'Novel' and 'coke' in their dress clothes of course.
I always thought that a novel was like the Bermudan triangle; but, seeing as my quote has two 'helluvas' in it, I bow down to its superiority..
Better Old Coke than some novel Coke ...
Hey, Drom ! ;-) I wasnt posting for a while ... but now I've been postin' again.
Saldy, however, that is the basic plot I've drawn up for my novel. The only real difference is mine takes place in a circuc. I've always wanted to see how Ronald McDonald fares in a real circus act. Othwer than that our ideas are eerily parallel.
I'll have you know that despite being a corporate shill, Ronald is a classic 'Auguste' clown and could hold his own quite well in a proper circus...heh heh, 'hold his own'....
Nimh; good! I'll keep my eyes open for your posts!
Wow; your ideas are nearly the same as mine, Scoates? Then it is my pleasure to commend you for your clarity of thought and for your ability to 'look out of the box.' Unfortunately, though, I've written and copywritten that story, and it should be available in all good bookshops at 11 am this afternoon, Greenwich, London, time.This still doesn't mean that you can't publish yours; an idea as brilliant needs to be published. Due to the circus thing, you could say that it was a book in its own right; or, even better, you could say that it was an 'artistic parody,' and that sells well with random jackasses.
As for Ronald McDonald versus the rest of the circus, I feel that he'd either be bullied (and then would sue for $60,000,000,000 due to its causing him stress) OR he would offer McDonalds to all of the others, causing them to bloat to such an extent that they were no match for him. The latter is a classic technique... that's what Allied troops used on the Eastern front, but McDonalds have always covered up the 'lethal' thing.. too bad. When anything becomes lethal, it seems to become More popular, if anything.
Maybe I could throw in a gay couple.
