I'm just waiting for the inevitable "Australia's Got Romantic Talent".Don't bet on it. I'm sure someone is thinking about "The Amazing Bachelorette Love Chef."

I find the real world has far more things that people dismiss out of hand as myth or fabrication, too unbelievable to be nonfiction. Like, in the Virginia Slims Tournament, 1984, Vicki Nelson and Jean Hepner had a twenty-nine minute rally (just the rally - whole match was over six hours) composed of 643 shots. Toss in a monster like that, and everybody would be telling you that you're dreaming.I once featured a tennis tournament where the women play five sets instead of the customary three. I found a particular iconic real-world match I wanted to recreate and (because it was between two men) it was played in five sets.
I needed a disease for my SF stories and had a terrible time naming it without sounding cheeseball-y.One of my historical stories needed a device for making women infertile, but not men. So I invented a disease that did this. It sprang up from nowhere, a mutation of some common disease like influenza, and then disappeared before it could be medically diagnosed and named. Since all this was happening in the 19th century, I figured that the science of the time wouldn't have been able to treat it.
Found your decor: https://www.cindyscaifeart.com/gallery/a-salt-and-buttery-condiments-and-their-culinary-companionsI just invented a restaurant, and I feel I should share it here to establish priority before someone else thinks of it.
It's called Uh, Salt and Buttery. It is police-themed.
Carry on.
It's a good idea. It's extremely satisfying when you come up with a name for a character or restaurant or website or whatever and you search for it and find it's not taken. I've done that a few times and I have a few stories in the works with some names I'm a little proud of. One is a story title for the upcoming Geek event that I'm very proud of but I'm not going to say what it is at this point.I was shocked when I googled it and found… not much. Like, I assumed someone would have actually started a real restaurant with that name.

Somewhere like this?Here's an idea for a restaurant.
The Snow and Flake
Schtick is everyone there eats and drinks only what they're told to, then go and tell their friends to come do the same. Complaints are not allowed or you'll be told you can't be one them anymore. Its a great business model.
Drawback is the high crime rate, seems the place is always getting robbed and the customers mugged because tired of being reviled, the local police sit and watch them get what they deserve.
Alternate name was the mindless hyena-but I wasn't sure if it should be hyenas because they travel in packs and sniff each other's asses.

It's a British style fish and chips place in New York.
My biggest fabrication was the diabolical piss recycling machine in Club Emily. Totally batshit crazy and completely biologically infeasible.Us clever writers make shit up all the time, so what are some of yours and which ones tend to get repeat mentions.
Random things I didn't make up.

When the people who think they're funny can claim these acts, or get up knowing any day of work could end in your death-especially because of people like you-you can talk. Until then, maybe a little respect...or do you need to be given the definition of that word?

I created a drug that was a combination of focusin, Cialis and a ADHD drug to increase sexual stamina and also aid recall which meant I had a way to do a flashback with the person able to see outside themselves and understand the viewpoints of others, which some BELLEND had a go at me for, like it was a REAL drug and not a narrative device.Could be the name of a club or restaurant, business or perhaps a fictional website, actor/actresses name of a movie, pretty much anything/one you created. Bonus for if you've revisited them in other stories as sort of Easter eggs or making your own sort of mythos by tying things together.
A few of my stories have dealt with women who were either former porn stars or trying out the industry because of financial reasons. I created a porn star "Molly Minx" who's name has been dropped whenever a character in a story is watching 'mom porn'. I have a porn director named Malcom Stone of Stone Cold Productions who produces taboo porn and has a back story of unrequited love for his mother who passed away and in two stories he has paid mother and sons he's encountered who need money to have sex in front of him
Along the same lines are made up porn series like "In between teens" a group sex series and Barely Legal Backdoor babes. The Masked Milf.
My more series creation that I've built a lot around in my horror novels-but was first mentioned here in my SWB series is The Black Flame an old hotel converted into a multi level adult club with each floor catering to a certain crowd and run by a woman the city sees as an eccentric recluse, but is a powerful witch who rarely leaves the club because people die when she does.
