This is diffrent from the 25th annerversy topic.
If you were asked to make a relugar casefile (not a special one), what would be about?
Could you specify?
Just fill out these:
Title:
Characters
Location
Plot
OK, um that might be kind of hard...
There's an idea I've been thinking about for a Casefiles story, just need to work on it a bit more and then I'll post it.
Title: Fangs Of Death
Characters: Frank, Joe
Location: Bayport Zoo, Bayport Park
Plot: Someone releases poionous snakes through Bayport, and the Hardys must stop the bad guys.
This would be a casefile because people in the book do die from the snakes.
I may make this into a fan fic.
Title: ''In Coldblood''
Characters:
Frank Hardy
Joe Hardy
Fenton Hardy
Laura Hardy
Eric Lewis
Gray Man
other Network agents
The Assassins
Location: Washington, British Columbia
Plot: The Hardys are shocked, when they are contacted by a mysteries man who claims to have information surrounding Iola's death! The man asked for Joe to come only, and Frank is against him going but there is no stopping Joe and he flies to the wast coast to meet the contact.
Once at the meeting, the man, Eric Lewis, shows Joe evidence that reveals who killed Iola Morton - none of then Network top-dog the Gray Man! Working on Joe's anger and fear, Lewis convinces Joe to help him track down the Gray Man, who ,he says, he also has a score to settle with.
It's two days later and Frank hasn't heard from Joe since before his meeting, now greatly worried Frank has arrived in Washington, in search of his brother. Frank learns what took place at the meeting, picks up a lead and is hot on the trail of his brother, when he discovers the story Lewis told Joe was a all lie and that the murder of the Gray Man is just a small piece in a bigger plan - Lewis is actually a dangerous enemy of both the Network and The Assassins!
Deep undercover Frank is on his own and he knows it's up to him, to stop Lewis before he can carry out the first step in his deadly plan! A plan, even though unknowingly, Joe would play a large part in!
Very good. But It seems to me that Frank is the one who is solving the case while Joe sits around.
Well, Joe would be tracking down the Gray Man with Lewis, and it would switch back and forth between Frank and Joe.
Title: Missing in action
Characters: Frank, Joe Chet
Location: Bayport
Plot: Chet is kidnapped after tryng out for the school bascetball team
Bigfootman, those are interesting ideas! Poisonous snakes - now that would be a really good one to try and solve! And our precious Chet snatched away? I'd like to see his conversations with the kidnapper(s)!
HardyBoysWiki - I really like the idea of Eric Lewis being dangerous to both the Assassins and the Network! It would be even more interesting if he was using each group against each other (haha). But I don't know if you were going to go there or not.
Yeah, I was thinking of making Lewis an Assassin but him being an enemy of both organizations just makes it that more interesting. There's been lots of people on the Network's side and lots on The Assassins', but has there every been a character against both?

Thank you!
Title: Extinction
Characters: Frank, Joe, Chet
Location: Alberta Badlands
Plot: Frank and Joe get a call for help from Chet. Chet is helping out at a fossil dig, but strange things are happening. When the Hardy's get to the site, they are attacked by a Short-Faced Bear! Somehow, extinct mamals and giant terror birds are terrorizing the digsite, and Frank and Joe have no supsects. Can they and Chet svae the day before it's too late?
Title: Leafy Arson
Characters: Frank, Joe, Callie and Chet
Location: Ottawa, Ontario and the Ottawa Valley
Plot: Someone is going around Canada's national capital region setting fires to any Canadian Flags or Maple Leaf flags. Who's doing it? Is it all part of a terrorist plot by the Assassins, or is a hockey fan just going overboard a little bit. The RCMP are stumped so it is up to the Hardy Boys, Callie Shaw and Chet Morton, who are on a tour of Canada's Capital Region, to solve the case and figure out who is doing the LEAFY ARSON!
Good idea! A book taking placing in Ottawa would be good.

Might be a good book, kind of a cheesy title though.

Sounds similar to Casefiles #80
Dead Of Night.
(tomswift2002) Hey! Who's against Canada so much? J/K. Interesting idea, I think I would be completely involved in the story because it's like I have a personal stake. I just hope it's not anybody from Quebec (unless it's written well). I also hope it avoids all the Canadian cliches, which I'm sure it would.
(Bigfootman) You really like using animals, don't you!

Like myself, tomswift2002 is from Canada, so I'm sure he would depict it realistically.

Plus I've been living in the Ottawa and Ottawa Valley area for the past 15 years. Also, when I was making the plot up I was thinking about making a book that paid a little bit of homage to the original Franklin W. Dixon, Leslie McFarlane, who was born in Carleton Place (now a part of Ottawa), raised in Arnprior and grew up in the area.
I hope this thread isn't dead and I'm not annoying anyone by resurrecting it (I'm just not sure if I should start a new thread since it is related to this thread anyway... apologies).
I used to imagine my own Casefiles last time and wrote out the synopsis and plot outlines. Unfortunately they're gone now with my old computer. Finding this thread sort of triggers the writer's itch in me, and perhaps I should go back to it.
I enjoy Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series and I'd like to write the Casefiles in a similar manner/style.
Nope, you're not annoying anyone. :) We'd love to see some of your ideas! :D
mscriminalist, there are some Alex Rider fans on this forum too :)

That's awesome! I just checked out the Alex Rider thread on the Other Books section :) It's great to see Hardy fans who read Alex Rider as well. I love the way Anthony Horowitz get detailed in his books.

Oh well, I don't think I'm really much of a writer, but if I could... in my reinvention, I would follow closely to the
Casefiles canon but probably disregard some details. I would focus on characterization. Some changes include growing the Hardy Boys older by 3 years, put them in college but throw them back into all those danger and excitement. Bring back Network and the Assassins and basically mess with everyone's lives and heads. I'd probably feature Nancy Drew as well. I can't really say anything anymore because I haven't actually got everything tied up, but those are basically the wild ideas I have in my head. I want the story to be edgier. The only problem is putting them down on paper.
And oh, Iola is still dead in my reinvention, sorry :P
Where do you guys usually put up your writing stuff, anyway?
I've posted this elsewhere before, but I thought a different audience migfht get a kick out of it!
QuoteFrank and Joe investigate mysterious goings on at their local hangout - Mr. Pizza - where Tony Prito tells the brothers about a series of shady food suppliers who have started distributing their goods to several fast-food outlets in Bayport.
When a number of people fall ill due to food poisoning, Frank, Joe and Tony cook up a plan to smoke out the saboteurs. It's a tough case to swallow, and our fearless heros have a lot of clues to chew upon, but can they stop the chef of death before the final course is served?
Casefiles #128:
"EXPLOSIVE FARTS"
Dont have a title but it would follow the Casefiles continuity since I read those first before starting with the Classic HB series, but anyway since I just finished rereading Dead on target, I had an idea where the bomb maker that tried to hijack the plane, Hassan, gets involved in a prisoner swap/ or have British forces cave in to a current terrorist situation and are forced to let him go...whatever the case would be, he's free and have his sights on Frank and Joe. And thats about as far as I got.
