As for length, I have no idea, I figure I was just going to try and make it as long as possible. The more writing the more crap I can fit in I guess. One of the criteria's is that you have to have at least 50 hours noticable work on it.

Also, I have taken down everyones ideas, excluding the Chuck Norris crap. And I have them saved, I will try and fit in as much of it as I can. Keep the ideas coming guys.

I was just thinking "Add Chuck Norris!" right before I read that last paragraph. :D

A samurai who uses a baseball bat instead of a sword?
The Walmart smiley face has gone crazy?
Emo pandas?
A rabid half-bear/half-raccoon/half-squirrel monster roaming the woods?
ZOMBIES!!!!!

That reminds me of an Australian comedy routine I saw once...

*A man is bashing in the windshield of a car with a baseball bat*

*Car owner emerges from a nearby shop*

Car owner: ...HEY! What are you... POLICE!

Policeman: What appears to be the problem, sir?

Car owner: That maniac is bashing in my car windshield with a baseball bat, that's what!

Policeman: Ah. Well, we can't have that. *turns to guy with baseball bat* Right! In the name of the law, I order you to desist! *wrestles the baseball bat from the guy*

Car owner: Thank you!

Policeman: You can't just walk up to a car and start hitting it with a baseball bat, it's completely un-Australian.

Car owner: Yes, thank you officer.

Policeman: *produces a cricket bat* Use this instead.

Man: Thanks mate. *starts bashing the car with the cricket bat*

Policeman: Good day.

Car owner: ...

Alright, as for ideas, I think that should be enough for now. I have enough that I should be able to produce a good headache, I'm still in need for a large list of names for people (relatively normal) and names of towns and countries (somewhat normal).

The best part of writing a book that makes it good is making the story seem believeable, to make the story believable is what sells it, although I'm not trying to sell this, I am trying to get a good grade on it, so I need normal names and places.

"Show, Don't tell."

I have to try and make this story as believable as possible with the crap you have given me, should be fun.

Several people suggested Chuck Norris in my book, and they were all denied, however... I think I might throw him in there in spite of this with a better motive.

Yo if your still writing the book, or aint that far in the book, i have a peom you can use.

My adorable princess in the night
I searched the book of the cosmos for you
And there you were, my brightest star
A detailed flame of purest joy
That coalesced the heavens in extreme awe
The world, you have at your fingertips
And all the worlds and stars beyond
Tell me what you know of them
Do they shine from your essence
Or glow from the sight of your dramatic beauty
Do they travel the universe to be in unity with you
Do they wait for their cataclysmic, fateful end
So that the shattering pieces that remain of them
May somehow find their way to the cradle of you
How I wonder what miraculous wonders you be store
How you make me weak in the knees to gaze at you
Hanging high up there in the blissful night sky
How do you think the stars befell enviously
They all want to radiate the systems of galaxies
But you will be the one to teach them the way
As they will follow in your lead to perfection
It's when I come out late at night, and I feel all alone
I know you are there, weightless over me
I know because my shortness of breath tells me
As my heart pounds rapid in my chest
And once again, you seduce me into a supernova
Stellar blaze of glory, astral, luminescent sphere of light
From there to here is where you take me
As you have brightened all my ways of life

--I love you [girls name], From [your name]--

I'm really taking a flop on this book right now, The entire content kind of changed when I had an idea on something to do with Chuck Norris. I still however have all of the information from this thread, and I might try and squeeze it in.

Right now, as far as I have it.. The title is "The process of self combustion" and it's basically about a detective that's going around trying to solve the mystery of why peoples heads are randomly exploding.

Some of the characters are: Chuck Norris, Morgan Freeman, Master Chief, Princess Zelda, Batman, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Aeris, Cloud, Kefka, Sephiroth.

However, don't stick to this solidly, because it might change. Just a rough outline of what it might be.

If you want a little more information, what I have so far is...

Chuck Norris dueling Morgan Freeman in the desert, then Batman steals Zelda, and throws her off a cliff, and Master Chief tries to save her. Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are fighting and Jet Li attacks them both. Cloud buying a flower off of Aeris, and then a Kefka/Sephiroth duel(everyone likes this. :P ) ... All of this revolving around the detective wandering about amongs these happenings trying to figure out why it's happening.

I didn't read the whole thing, but from the first few lines at the start, it just gave me the impression that whoever you would give it to, you would just be trying to get into their pants. It's not from the heart, it sounds like you're trying to hard.

Just my opinion though, could be wrong.
