I don't think we have "readers," but that's not going to stop me from introducing some interactive features on the blog. The first of these I'm calling the "Weekly Plot," although I'm open to suggestions on a title change. The premise is basically this: I put together a canned plot and you, the readers (and/or figments of my imagination) come up with as many books, films, etc that fit that plot description. no right answers, no wrong answers, just some clonetastic media fun.
This week's plot:
Boy from lower class background meets upper class girl. Falls in love, but can't do anything about it thanks to their respective social stations. Girl drops hints that she might feel the same way, is bored of the upper class guys who treat her as prize. Upper class goons, lead by King Upper Class, give Boy a hard time, implicitly or explicitly make clear Boy can't have Girl. Enter competition for Boy to match wits with King. Thanks in part to Boy's impetuosity and King's Hubris, Boy wins competition in stunning and dramatic fashion. Boy and Girl get together.
All right imaginary readers, there it is, go run with it.
