Plot Twister

Provide movie plots to cross with an entirely different book.

I always though the various human disciplines from Dune were inventive, the Guild Navigators, Bene Gesserit, Mentats,etc

I’ve developed some fine plots for novels and short stories, but I’m not going to reveal them here :)

Boy meets girl has to be the most original.

And yes, mucking around with the intent of your post.

Morning all.

At the height of the Cold War I wrote a survival novella & was lucky enough to have it serialised in a magazine.
It was a popular theme back then, when the Doomsday clock was at 3 minutes to midnight.

Paris Match. I didn’t do the translation so I’m not sure how original the story ended up.

Nice work, tamb :)

Oo-la-la. So where did your literary career go from there?

It was a one off I’m afraid. (Although I am good at writing skewed versions of meeting minutes.)

Ah. But surely you took to wearing a cravat for a while, and smoking your cigarettes through an elegant holder.

That sort of behaviour was severely frowned upon in John Vorster’s South Africa.
I was more the Safari suit & desert boot type. Hemingway without the gayness perhaps?

Read a good twist on SciFi recently. Story “cucumber gravy”

Small groups of benign aliens frequently land on Earth, then they die.
Nobody knows what, who, where, when. Only one person even cares.

The blandness of the story strikes a chord with me – we’ll be far less able to communicate with aliens than with our own pets.

I wrote a SciFi short story recently, it was about a museum of applied mathematics. Every piece of the equipment in the museum was constructed to demonstrate a famous equation of applied mathematics.

I’m not in the least surprised that the magazine I sent it to rejected it.
