Okay, so I'm writing a book something I'm doing in the summer, but I want some ideas on a second book. It'll probally involve Swindon in some way, and I'lll probably nick some of your user names  Basically I'm after any suggestions, however wierd and wonderful, about what should be included in this novel. I already know what I'm writing about in the summer but I haven't a clue what to do after :? |

you could base it on a series of random, interconnected events, often with hilarious outcomes, using the personas of forum members (if they don't mind).

Whatever else you do, make the lead character a chap called Icarus Turpentine.

How about a group of rabbits on a long and dangerous journey to a promised land,give it religous undertones and call the promised land Watership Down.

No need, I can get a Yeovil Red in there. It'll be like Shawshank Redemption, Icarus Turpentine will say, ' why do they call you Red?', and you'll say, ' I'm not too good in the sun'.
And Mexico Red because he's always on his period.
And birdy dishing it out all over the place in as virginal a way as possible. Piemonte the chef. Jan from an far off wonderland known as Calne.
It's all coming together :?

You book could be called "behind the team" It could revolve around the forum massive. Yeovil Red could be sectioned due to his alcohol and gambling addictions and it is our mission to save him  |

Calne should always be referred as "The City of Calne" in literature, it gives it a certain je ne sais quoi.
...and then there was Jan, the only scottish norweigian in the City of Calne and he knew it.
