Pah, Family sticks together through the good times and the bad. Not that lot. The cons dry up, and they disappear off to their fancy modern applications like TikTok and MySpace, posting videos of themselves doing dance routines to quotes from Ghostbusters 2. Now all that's left is you, me, groovy guy, film review fella, and missing poster person, plus the occasional visit from a Saw Faerie, Ron posting like a mod even though he's not a mod and is mostly telling people that there are no mods, and Roy talking about Hugh Dancy's winky. A disparate group of individuals desperately clinging on to the last vestiges of civilisation. Is it sad? Maybe. But it's also a solid basis for a surprisingly successful series of YA novels that get optioned for a trilogy of films, of which the first one is so poorly received the sequels never materialise.

Of course in book three we realise that whilst we are strong and independent women, it's better to be with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By which you mean that you have picked them all off and become the Forum's 'Champion'. But will you be a benevolent leader, or are you secretly controlled by sinister forces (i.e. Ron)? 22 minutes ago, maegurwen said: I haven't whined or complained, thank you! Absolutely not.

Tales to be told by the fireside to inspire the children. Could you really be the one to free us from the tyranny of Roy (but really Ron)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially you would need to challenge Roy, Black Panther style. Unfortunately it would not be a fair contest because the evil powers (Ron) have stacked the deck massively in favour of the current champion in order to protect their position of privilege (the whole thing is just a comment on modern society, really). You could join the underground resistance. By the end of book 3 we'll have destroyed the system, allowing everyone to realise their full potential as a champion, but that could take a while. Alternatively, I guess you could ingratiate yourself with Ron to the point where he betrays Roy in favour of you. This would of course lead to Roy assisting the resistance movement, eventually sacrificing herself in order to take out Ron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Reg are actually figments of Roy's imagination brought on by her guilt over the atrocities she has committed to get to her lofty position. (Of course, let us not forget that the true evil here is Ron) They're still pretty good roles though - especially as you were killed off in book two.

Hmm, let me think, let me think. Ok, so, right, in the underground resistance's underground bunker, we suddenly hear a crackle on the radio Mae has built from parts of a toaster. It's not clear, but it's a voice asking for help. Surely we can't risk exposing ourselves for the sake of one person? And what if it's a trap? The bravest member of the underground resistance - let's say me - goes on a potentially deadly mission to find and rescue the mystery person. Turns out it's Taylor Swift and she falls in madly love with me. We have a passionate romance. Then she writes an album about me. It's pretty dark, but sells well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
