•Swansea council are developing a marauding Orc army to combat the

threat from Taekwondo Godzillas.

•Banksy has been harpooned out of his car by Subway staff.

The Notsogreatdictator says…
I'm fascinated by fake news and by using real people as fictional characters. I also like the development of these fictional worlds over time. There's fun to be had in the challenge of fitting rapidly changing news events into a narrow world with strict constraints.
Liberace/Donald Trump and Nigel Farage sharing a static caravan in Fishguard is something which brings global events right down to earth with a bump. The idea of UNESCO awarding world heritage status to a particularly long-standing system of roadworks hopefully makes people less stressed out about their first world problems.
It's been great fun creating fictional worlds out of real events which I suppose is what all writers do. If I'm honest Kim Jong Un paying for Swansea's Tidal Lagoon so he can use it as a Godzilla nursery has been my favorite story line so far but then I love a bit of sci-fi.
