Below, listed in the order received, are the titles of books whose query letters have been submitted for ridicule, but which have not been critiqued.
In order to offer the "Guess the Plot" feature with each query critique, Evil Editor needs his minions to suggest amusing fake plots for the titles. Send your fake plots as comments to this post. Try to limit them to 50 words. Don't worry if your plot is ridiculous; the actual plots usually are, as well.
Titles will be added to the list as new query letters come in, so check back. If you would be heartbroken to submit a plot, only to find it wasn't used, don't participate. We don't want any hurt feelings out there.
Titles in green still need fake plots. Titles in red don't.
A Royal Pain
Seers and Sparkplugs
A Serpent in the Garden
The queue is nearly empty! It's the perfect time to submit your query. Yes, you.

Hi EE,
Since there's a serious drought in these here parts, perhaps we need a writing exercise or contest. Maybe you could give us some crazy titles and we have to submit serious query letters for it? Or, take the first 200 words of some famous but obscure book and we have to continue the opening?
Just a thought.
Thanks for all you do for us.

Damn, Lisa (please note the comma between "damn" and "Lisa," with hope that it might be clear that I thought her comment was an exciting idea and not something that should be condemned), that sounds like an incredibly helpful way for those shy ones of us to practice queries on our trunk-fulls of stuff minus the worry of actual criticism. All I can add is, please, EE, please.
There is precedent for collaborating on a novel. I'm game for the discussion.
I had intended to submit a fake plot for the Celery story but I don't know where to send it.
Same place you sent the comment.
