I know I'm not supposed to be here but Loving nice work on the writing!

I think SPO has something to do with OG as well. Go on SPOrefute it if you dare!! The sudden disappearance shortly after we were discussing whether TG would go anywhere near fanfiction if he was a serious writer still with ideas for a new series. I suggested I wouldn't do it if I was him. I've held my suspicions for a while.(Call me Sherlock!) Also the answer to the FB group that I mentioned yesterday. It almost sounded like it had come from here. Obviously writing Zombie fanfiction is probably just a step far enough away from the real thing to justify doing it and has been very amusing and entertaining so thanks.

Well that's my theory I'm stirring again and poor SPO will never be able to prove otherwise without totally 'outing' himself. His last comment on here I believe was, "Stay Incognito!" Someone might like to check back on that. Curiouser and Curiouser said Rhubarb!

But does the official TG have small kids and a fluffy cat to play battles on the stairs? I don't think so (and neither has BA).
It doesn't matter. Whoever SPO is in real life, he rocks, and his zombie story rocks and if I was TG I would roll on the floor laughing with his take on the story :-)

(He can't be BA anyway, after all the pictures of his bum!! Blimey, that would be sooooo embarrassing! Dear Mr BA, you do know we only meant it as a compliment and that it's your screen persona we are only commenting on...right??!)

But cherin he's a writer and has a very creative mind if Zombies are anything to go by. He can make up any persona he likes. I think the real TG does have children. Go on indulge me! SPO you must be loving this!

Rhubarb
I have to say, that although I love Another Time, my all time fav on FF is Perhaps. You really nailed that one.

The real talented writers are the ones that can come up with their own plot lines like you guys. I simply took TG's and added a bit of Molly rambling.

I don't have enough imagination to come up with my own ideas, I'll leave that to you.

TG has two young daughters- the eldest played Molly's sister in the series.

Don't think he'd mind me sharing as he's put it on Twitter

I wondered if SPO was part of the crew. Or script editor maybe...

No, I'm sticking with spo as BA (despite any and all evidence to the contrary). The little boys with stuffed toys were his nephews/godchildren/hired extras.

Was just thinking that about TG, icemist ... My littlie still awake but gagging to come back on here and catch up! Left her listening to frozen cd ... Kids!!! Do we actually know that BA has no kids?!? Or maybe some nieces or nephews he can borrow (obviously just for the purposes of making us think it isn't him on here .... Am I completely losing the plot .... Too much time lying on littlies floor with nothing else to think about!)!?! I can just imagine SPO laughing at this! I hope you are sharing why we laughing with Mrs SPO!!

oneforthegirls you're undervaluing yourself! There are lots of different styles of writing and getting into a character's mind the way you guys have is no less difficult that writing a more plotted story. Everyone likes what you've done - keep going! Let's be fair at the moment I've already got a basic plot line to work with which takes some of the hard work out of it. To be honest, I haven't volunteered for the Smurf point of view bit of the collective ff because I'm not sure I'd manage it very well. I didn't really like the Bashira bit I did much - not quite me - but it was something different to try. I suppose that's what its about.

BA does have a nephew....

Ok, I'm a bit impressed .... How I you know that???!

.... How did you know that? (Can't type!)

OK icemist my overly suspicious brain is now wondering if you are BA!!!

Hope not though as it would mean he's rather narcissistic, posting pics of himself every day!

that's hilarious orphan!!
Good thought though, would explain a lot ... the plane times, the reign stuff, ooh .... You might be onto something here ....!!!!! Hee hee!!

Did you send yourself an autograph request Icemist?

Mind you, would be slightly worrying given your OBE!!! Would have to change it to MBE ... ... ....

This could be like twenty questions. I'll start.

Are you a man?

OK, second bit of evidence in the case for spo : his admiration for Molly/LT. Haven't we all noticed the palpable chemistry between them in the series and spo was very keen to point out Molly's finer attributes.

Are you very tall? :)

Ooh, true orphan .... SPO, don't hear you disagreeing?!

Of course spo and icemist could be one and the same. In fact if I go the full conspiracy theory route, you all are one person (BA of course) and I'm the only ordinary poster...

OK. Maybe one day when 'Our Girl' wins a award of some kind probably have to be the National Television Awards. The cast will wander up to the stage full of astonishment and disbelief at wining and then they'll let the producer speak and thank everyone and finally let BA or TG speak and one of them will say as a parting shot, "Finally, a big thanks to all those Mumsnetters out there! SPO is alive and well!"
