Below, listed in the order received, are the titles of books whose query letters have been submitted for ridicule, but which have not been critiqued.In order to offer the "Guess the Plot" feature with each query critique, Evil Editor needs his minions to suggest amusing fake plots for the titles. Send your fake plots as comments to this post. Try to limit them to 50 words. Don't worry if your plot is ridiculous; the actual plots usually are, as well.
Titles will be added to the list as new query letters come in, so check back. If you would be heartbroken to submit a plot, only to find it wasn't used, don't participate. We don't want any hurt feelings out there.
Titles in green still need fake plots. Titles in red don't.

Yikes! Drought! Send queries! For the love of God, send them now!

This drives me nuts. Everytime my husband looks over my shoulder when I log into the Gallimaufry, he says, "Hmmm. Just how is that dog holding that book up? And why is he smiling like that?"
Guys. Sheesh.

We're supposed to submit our fake plots to this comments thread right? I'm asking because I don't see any old ones. Do you remove them?
Thanks.
Send them here. If I published them, everyone would know they're not the real plot, so I keep them secret.
Send them here where?
Same place you sent your question.
do you do offer advice on real queries? If so I can send you two.
Almost all of the 800+ queries at the Evil Editor blog are real queries. Send 'em on.
Do you take queries of picture books as well?
Yes.
Can we submit queries for our WIPs that our *nearing* completion?
Yes.
Heh, nobody queries anymore, they all just self-publish on Amazon...
Since you're so dry, is it okay if I send a query for something in the really early stages, so I can practice my skill at query writing? I don't have anything ready to go out as of now.
Yes. We'll take anything.
I think I sent you a query almost a year ago. Do you let people know if you posted them or do I have to look for it on the blog? I've read almost all the posts and they're awesome.
Also, can I resend my query if you didn't recieve it?
What was the title?

Can we send in queries for WIP's that don't have a set word-length?
We'll take anything at the moment, as we're running low on everything.
