Wild Retrospectacular, Day Seven

(I couldn't post Day Six here yesterday because of all the whatever that was happening with LJ, but you can read it here if you so wish!)

February 25^th 2008

 

Ricia's about eight chapters away from the end of Wild and her verdict so far is good writing, predictable plot. I'm now frantically trying to think up things I can throw in to add more twists and turns. So far I've come up with:

Werebats

Lizzie's long-lost father turning up and being a werewolf

Vaughn dying

Cannibals

Necrophilia

A freakshow of some sort featuring werecreatures (actually that might be book three...)

I'm not sure how well any of these things will fit in at the moment... I might hold off until Ricia's finished.

I'm pretty sure I didn't seriously considering putting any of these things into Wild, with the possible exception of the freakshow. As much as I enjoy surprise cannibalism in books, I probably couldn't justify adding it to a book that already included drug abuse, domestic violence, murder, werewolves, and ghouls. Although ghouls do lend themselves nicely to cannibalism, so I don't rule it out of appearing in the rest of the trilogy...

Tomorrow: Nome does some maths.

Personally I've always felt necrophilia get's a bad rap. I mean at least one person is dead! No harm no foul.

It always makes me laugh that interfering with a corpse is only considered a summary offence over here. Like, you know, trespassing or public intoxication. Fucking a corpse is bad, but it's not that bad, apparently.

And cannibalism isn't actually an illegal act in itself in a lot of countries! You can be charged with murder or desecration of the body, but not with eating it.

LOL! You've done your research! I admit I've haven't looked into either too deeply! Ha!
