The Not-So Austen Bookclub discussion

You know it - I know it. We all have our favourite stories, but don't we all long for that book that has a little bit of all of them? If only such books like Oliver Wood and the Quidditch Conundrum, or Prince Ash and the Prisoner of Mordor existed. We'd all be happy bookworms!

So here's the chance to do just that!

- Pick a title: E.g. Prince Ash and the Prisoner of Mordor
- Write a blurb - Write an extract (short)
- Write down the names of the other 'books' in the series

Here's mine:

Book title: Prince Ash and the Prisoner of Mordor
Blurb:
"What is it? What is the matter?" I asked her.
"It's Ethan!" Meghan sobbed, clinging to me. Her heart was beating rapidly. "He's been taken prisoner...by Sauron."

Ash had hopes that finally, for him and Meghan, all troubles had ceased. Until her brother, Ethan Chase, is stolen by Sauron as apart of his evil plan to gain the Sceptre of Seasons since he can't have the Ring. Together Ash and Meghan, along with Puck and Grim as well as special guests Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli and Merry and Pippin, will journey into the depths of Middle Earth to save Ethan. But at what cost?

Extract: (Ash's POV)

"I believe he wishes to use your brother as bait," Gandalf told Meghan, smoking on his ever-present pipe. I took her hand in mine and squeezed it, trying to tell her without words that she wasn't alone.
"But why?" Meghan's voice trembled. She hastily swiped at her eyes. "Why could he possibly want that he would go to all the trouble of taking a mortal child and gaining the wrath of the courts?"

Gandalf stared into the flames of the fireplace we were gathered around. He was silent, in thought, until suddenly he said in a voice that was barely a whisper, "I believe he is after something of great magical power. An item, to be precise. He tried to gain the Ring-"
"The Ring?" Meghan's jaw dropped open. "Are we speaking about SAURON, Sauron? The evil dude in the Lord of the R-"
"As I was saying," quickly cut in Gandalf. "He is after an item that will boost is magical powers. And the only one you fey possess is..."

"The Sceptre of Seasons," I murmured.

If you could make a book - that is a mix of different series' - what would it be?

- Pick a title: E.g. Prince Ash and the Prisoner of Mordor (this was mine - a cross between Iron Fey and Lord of the Rings)
- Write a blurb - Write an extract (short)
- Write down the names of the other 'books' in the series

Name: Little Rose Tyler (based off Little Red Riding Hood)

(fairy-tale type series)

Blurb:
"The big bad wolf is inside you. It comes"

Searching a parallel universe Little Rose Tyler is stuck in, she comes across a TARDIS BLUE hood. Slipping it on she knows only one thing. To do whatever it takes even if it means becoming the BIG BAD WOLF- destroyer of all grandmas everywhere to stop the stars going out.

For she is Little Rose Tyler


Extract:
The Cloak made of beautiful TARDIS BLUE silk felt beautiful across her fingers as she examined it. At first the colour meant nothing to her.

But then one night at the shop, a lady came up. A lady who was rather peculiar.
"Wow, ma'am what big eyes you have," Rose said fascinated.
"All the better to see with"
"And what a big nose you've got."
"All the better to smell you with"
"WOW !!! What big teeth you have,"

"All the better to eat you with !!!" The lady who was actually a wolf pounced on Little Rose Tyler and gobbled her up before taking her resemblance.

She slipped on the cloak which she now knew to be TARDIS BLUE and set off to stop the stars going out.
Little Rose Tyler. The Big Bad Wolf.
