I don't think most of them are fans. I doubt many of them have even read a Fleming novel.FormerBondFan wrote:Those fans aren't taking things seriously.

I wish Ian Fleming is still around as well as Richard Maibaum.

Re: Suggest the plot of the new James Bond novel
I hate to say it,but better the silly suggestions(and a lot of them are indeed silly)than,say some of the crap that gets posted on the IMDB boards.
And a HUGE pet peeve of mine, since it's related,are fans wanting these things back(in no particular order)
Blofeld( I have two words for you:Austin Powers.That is all.Unless New!Blofeld wasn't bald and didn't have the cat..... I would be all about it )
Moneypenny/Q
Minor characters being written back into the Bondverse.

Re: Suggest the plot of the new James Bond novel
I tried to register on that blog and suggest a plot where Daniel Craig is blasted into space and just generally left there. Sadly my computer went haywire and I couldn't be bothered. I've noticed some very sniffy responses to some of the excerpts of Devil May Care released, with popular culture references taking the brunt of the criticism. Bond is self contained really isn't he? He's in his own world.
