Chapter 15 is up.

Just a quicky :wink: . Trying to use a spoiler picture as well as some other ideas we had, ignoring Bond previously shaved. :wink:

I have most of the next chapter, trimmed the story to this chapter to begin chapter 16 from Bond's POV.

I'm still laughing so hard from this chapter, I'll defer. :)

I got an idea for a chapter of something back in London. I may go ahead with that. It won't interfere with the goings on in Shanghai.

Went back to chapter 9 to correct the first name of Mallory to Gareth, rather than Miles.

Chapter 17 is up.

Ah the plot thickens, It was kismet when splitting the chapter up I had already named it 17. It almost didn't come off, cut a fight scene with secret service goons smashing a Heineken display, and a bigger pool meeting a chase and a few other things that didn't work out.

I pulled a Q&A, favourite band : The Beatles; when wearing earmuffs :mrgreen: I don't think many would have remembered it.

I'm out of ideas for now,
A few left overs the USB stolen from M disguised as Pez dispenser, Continuing the idea of two children hurt by M's plan.

No Idea how Silva infiltrates MI6 or what information he has, one idea was he actually hadn't infiltrated mi6 rather was controlling the information going in to mi6 and then sabotaging it at certain points to make M look incompetent more John le Carre than Ian FLeming.

Had some fun with the idea Severine already knew who Bond was and Bond her just because it's how it always goes in the movies, except this time they are not careful at pretending they've never met

Skyfall be a council estate and / or façade, Bond's grandfather Sir Sean during a tax dispute moved it brick by brick from Scotland to a low tax rate part of England, part of a sir Sean Connery tax dodge, later when Bond takes M there is is a shabby wooden structure faked to look like skyfall because Bond's aunt moved it back brick by brick to Scotland and never bother to tell Bond where, leaving the façade for tax purposes.


Oh I gots to have a chapter title or just a road sign leading to skyfall that says

"SKYFALL Welcomes Careful Drives"
Maybe a Mach 1 attack helicopter flying in to burn Skyfall down the thunders past that sign.

I've got an idea for the next chapter. I need to re-read the newest chapter for all the details (because I was laughing so hard the first time). I was thinking we go back to Silva and henchman, then we go back to Bond and Eve. The result is both pairs return to the U.K. That sets up the "BOOM!" from the call sheets. Somehow, Bond and M have to get to gether so they can take their merry adventure together.

Sorry, I went and posted Chapter 18 already, which rather buggers up your scheme. Whoever writes Chapter 19 now needs to figure out a way to get M up to Skyfall Lodge. Oops :oops:

It's all good Kirs :mrgreen: It's on the hoof :typing:

Bond awoke with a start, he wasn't riding in steerage on a magic Skyfall choo-choo express any more. He had dreamt the gawd awful Potter kids were there taunting and mocking him, Bond reflected grimly that the ginger Bas***d had been the worst of the lot, he was glad to wake up. Although he wondered why he had shaved twice in the past two days and how the shaggy beard which had taken him six months to grow managed to reappear over night. And what the hell ever happened to Eve's "M" scared hand? What was this crying man video everyone was laughing about? Bond wished not for the first time his old Sony Eicsson(r) could stream YouTube. :lol:


I'm thinking of a Lost Chapters section.
I got one I never finished that I might finish for FBF (and what happened to Eve's injured hand). Eventhou I apparently am a traitor and don't facebook friend to his liking ;) (Joking FBF)

Almost like to take on the first two movies, call them Daniel Craig's Casino Royale and Quantum of ????.

Chapter nineteen is up, entitled "Escape to Danger" as a little homage to Terrance Dicks, who used that chapter title umpteen times in his Doctor Who novelisations for Target Books. It doesn't follow the scheme that Napoleon suggested, but it's designed so that the next chapter can start with a flashback to a few hours earlier, following Silva and the Berenice character (forgotten her name, sorry) leading up to the same point.

No-one want to have a crack at the Silva/Severine chapter(s)? I totally understand if they don't, it's much trickier to write them. We've seen Craig's BoBo character in two films already, and Dench's M in six, but all we really have to go on with the new characters are some on-set photos and a few snippets of information. I've still yet to see No Country For Old Men, perhaps if I had, I'd have something to base Silva on (Severine is shaping up to be a fairly generic gangster's moll, so shouldn't prove too much of a challenge to write).

Sorry, it's been miserable at work and I haven't had the humour to attempt writing anything. I'll try to get back in the swing.

New chapter is up. Not much humor except for some Product Placement (R) references.
