I was told by a friend doing a writing degree that if you wanted to write a Mills and Boon story you had to apply for the story guidelines (THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED), which is basically a set formula, along the lines of: 1. Page 25. -"the respective man and women exchange feverish glances" 2. Pages 52-88. -"the date" 3. Page 89. -"the good-night smooch" 4. Pages 92-170. "the sex" 5. Pages 180-. "the tragedy that befalls the couple (the end)" They also send you a list of "useful" adjectives. I cant remember the exact details and I've never read one (honest) but I think my friend was telling the truth. The snow in Nottinghamshire has nearly all gone, and i never even threw one snowball *sigh*. Lee. P.S. Evan is a wanker, a talented one though. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
