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.
The queue is empty! It's the perfect time to send your query.

Hey EE! Since I'm a twitter user, and I follow you, would you mind maybe tweeting when new queries appear in the queue please? Thanks!
Good idea.
Are we allowed to send in revisions after our initial queries have been critiqued? Is there a minimum time we should wait before doing that?
Resubmissions are fine. There's no time limit, though experience has shown that the queries of those who resubmit the fastest are rarely improvements.
Hey EE! When can I expect a critique of my query letter?
I prefer to wait till I've received at least 4 fake plots. Perhaps your title isn't inspiring the minions. I'll get on it.
Hi Evil Editor! Checking in to see how your review goes? If it is utterly dreadful, I shall respect your ever-wise opinion, though if you like it even a bit, I know I won't stop smiling for a week! All the best
Um, if you send anonymously and don't provide the title, I don't know who you are.
Hello! I am an autistic author in need of your insightful query critiques! Would you mind suggesting to me which phrases I need to keep and which to leave out? I am looking at 300 words max, according to someone on my Facebook group, but I’m having trouble editing my query letter to fit the ideal word limit on most query letters. Would you mind suggesting the edits in your comments that I need so desperately for my query letter?
If you've sent me the query already, which one is it? If you haven't sent it, I can't suggest edits.
