a major in local politics ^{0}

i have to start commenting on the actions and mumblings (read speech impediment) of the fictional local mayor (major) to be featured in a story i’m writing. His name will be con flarke and he’s hanging on to the seat of his pants, while holding on to reality with the remaining free hand. the fact that his pants are well past their wear by date doesn’t seem to phase him. over time i’ll post some classic details (made up of course) of his travels through space and time and how those who watch his actions become more and more frustrated.

The best way to start is by me looking at the actions of other mayors (majors) in south east queensland and then blending the facts so the character remains fictional – is that how that’s done? of course the only trouble is that you might google the same detail and figure out who it was based on, such is life. can i be sued if my creative (?) writing is not far enough away from fact ?

we have here in fiction land city an island that floats off the coast – for some reason unknown to all, it became vital that we the rate payers purchase this sadly unsatisfactory island and do something with it. of course my con did not know what and asked the people it was taken away from, what they’d like … rather selfishly and with complete naïvety they said – what we had silly. that wasn’t what my con wanted to hear so now – read many, many, many, millions of dollars later – we have the island for sale or it’s use on a tender, or expression of interest – what a deal for the lucky winner. what the hell ? at least he fancies that he can coordinate the use of dubiously good looking (gold covered – just) young girls and their ridiculous cowboy hats for the promotion of our city in 2010. if you’d like to add some material for my fictional major in local politics – please leave a comment !!
