How do I write Britain becoming a US State for this general fiction?

Hang on I'm thinking/typing

 

English civil wars - a great genre. I'm a fan.

In your position I'd write a few campaigns first of all. Don't bog in a 100 000 that never sees the light of day. I wrote a couple of London/Cornwall, a couple of Scotland/England. I might go back to it.

Are you writing straight, satire, history, comedy?

 

Add in a side story of a writer writing it getting ripped off online too because they're online writing fictions based on life (somehow) and, lol, at the end, their storys are told, by someone else who saw them online, and liked them, and stole them.

The End. lol


That is one ending you can read.

So at the end, you see some online confident selling the story/doing the book signing, answering a question about it but being fake pretending they were there.

I'd like that to be the twist.

The story happened but someone else got the credit.

 

Suppose 2035, Ivanka's Atlantic tunnel, the inauguration, the opening.

I think that's be done q recently. A 51st state story has only just come on the market, English writer [?]

 

Thank you for the marketing research, based on your post, I now know there is a fan base for this story.

Mind answering some questions for me?

Like, IDK, what demographic and who you are as a market and, what other markets might cross into this depedending how smart I write this.

So if you don't mind, IDK, tell us all why you like this genre?
What do you find interesting?

I'll be writing my stories as ever, I'm not doing this to write the story...
But I'd love to know who to sell it to if you've got a moment.

I'm just going to write how I write and... Try and keep it me, like... IDK...
Sell stories I come up with just because and you can try and pigeon hole them, and forget the marketing intelligence, even though I now know it's a genre - it's cool, I'm on this, it's great, don't worry, all I ask now is about places in the UK I don't know about. so, yeah...

London will be neutral, but fear being dragged into the war, but will be happy times at the price of independence starting a war they've swore neutrality in that might stab it in the back so, of course there'd have to be covert actions told in a paranoid London so London'll be neutral but also, will work in secret to protect itself.

 

Let's turn England Communist in this broken UK independent London England/Cornwall war story?

Maybe?
Maybe not.

Capitalist London free and independent but leaving a Communist England, Socialist Cornwall having war, only London being the cause of it for leaving England swearing it's being neutral (because of UK history).

The story starts of a jubilant London, prospering, greed, wealth, great times in London etc, it worked (somehow), and, the people of London alarmed to see Cornwall start a war for independence from England, and London being now a country in the British Isles post UK that wants to act like a mediator between the two since it's London, but also fearing attack, and choosing no sides - and a war in Europe that London is also trying to get dragged into, where London does a 'British Isle Monroe Doctrine' of sorts, to save itself from getting dragged into this other war in Europe? Perhaps.

 

Anything can happen. The generation before yours, respectfully, ruminates on this:

 

If the UK became American... I'd like to see the Union Jack be the state flag and Great Britain and Hawaii having state flags that shared the Union Jack which will be our State Flag.
And I'd like to see Texas and Great Britain being the proudest of the proud too, in the union.

If I wrote the story.

I'd like there be a part to subsidise air travel too between the two to ease the two together.
Like inexpensive transatlantic flights invested in by the USA with 51 states (so UK too), to help integrate the two unions together under the one American one? IDK.
But I'd like to tell this story on a grass roots level and on a tower of power sort of level and have the two worlds meet, and get a voice for the populous of both countries moaning and celebrating the cost of cheap visa free air travel classed as domestic after all the roads and stuff in Great Britain gets rebuilt to US Highway codes, and rebuilding and protecting historical neighborhoods in London from the wrecking ball to be American, and somebody in America wondering why do this and why pay for cheap travel to Great Britain but not Hawaii?

 

So, you take this imagination of yours - and write an 800 worder tonight - you call it - provisionally - 'The 51st state.'

 

The 51st State is one popular name if I decided to go with it, provisionally or last draft.
But it'll be a story with the same theme as another with the same name and, maybe, different publishing years aside, that title though good provisionally or final product, is actually one I'm trying to avoid just because has the ability to confuse readers of this other publication; and not that other story that was made into a movie with the same title that didn't do that story with that title and theme like this any favours - but the book with a theme like this story idea with the same name... I'd like to either run with it, or, avoid it all all costs, but, what else could I call it? GB? The Nanny State? The Mother State? UK?, 'The 51st State'if I chose that name, it'll be making that name a popular name for this theme; HOWEVER... I would love to point out to the world, that in my story, line one; Britain has joined the Union.

So mine's a boring logistical study I need to embark upon first like my name was Jules Verne and try write a story of a power struggle to save iconic buildings and identity.

I want to know the US Highway specifications and the UK ones.
US power grid info and building code and the UK ones.
Like measurements of width and I want to know methods used in laying roads and town planning with the ending that the UK looks like America 'but it's still the UK' so it's something I can film in Canada maybe and pretend it's the UK and paint some road to look American and... or/ construct something in the UK for this shot, but that's probably expensive.
I want to write the execution of the UK becoming American, and who pays for all the power sockets converting to American with American voltage in the UK, and where all these meetings will be held (I'm thinking Washington D.C.), and I could probably pretend like I was The X-Files and film Washington D.C. in Canada too and pretend it's like Washington D.C. ?

I'm planning to write a screen play and.....
I always like to write with budget in mind, so I'm working out stuff like shots I can write and where I can shoot them on location and how do I get this story off the ground except say
'There's a market for it' and point to the population of Britain.

 

No, write it - find out the other stuff down the line.
