Heh...if you come up with some extra subplots that end up orphaned, toss a few my way. I have no ideas.
Half the time I end up taking stuff from dreams, but considering last night I dreamed I was writing a kid’s story about a dog that lived in a Chinese restaurant...I don’t hold out much hope...
For everyone else, I may be a bit hard to find for the next 24 hours. I'm genuinley sneak freeping right now by using some neighbor's unsecured wireless.
The phone company knocked out my connection while working on something two doors down. I called, and they will repair the damage they did (if the decide it's their fault) by Friday. They ignored my suggestion that one of their own pole climbers two doors down took out my connection.
Right now I have next to zero signal strength, but it was enough to check email, and stop by here.
No plots here either. On the other hand I do have a clean bathroom and half the anime organized.
Main story line, POV of MC Claire, American girls Claire and Marci* spend the summer with their Scottish college friend in Scotland. They navigate the turmoil of a series of catastrophic terrorist attacks together. As events progress, they assemble a passable guerilla force to secure their region and inspire others throughout the UK to do the same.
Subplot 1, a series of extremely omniscient vignettes following various terrorists, laying out generic motivations and illustrating the complexity of the attack plans.
Subplot 2, POV of a Labour MP, illustrating the political events leading to the attacks. Basically a treatise on the perils of PC-ism and "tolerance".
Subplot 3, POV of a junior data analyst in MI-5, who has a hunch about the magnitude of the attacks but doesn't have enough political clout to get anyone to do anything about it. I think he's going to be instrumental in helping the "insurgents".
I might merge Subplot 1 and 2. Still working on it.
