Tom and I love making up stories. Our subject matters are quite diverse but border on what boys like. We have had stories of horror, science fiction, heroes, fairy tales, fantasy and adventure. We normally start with a subject matter or character name and it's characteristics. We may even play with subject matter that has already been created, for example Frankenstein meets vampires or Little Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs.
The stories nearly always take place at bath time. Our stories tend to touch on legends and I try to inject the enthusiasm legends or old tales into our stories. I will say to Tom what shall we have a story about. He will then give me the subject and I will start. After I start we then bounce ideas off each other throughout the story but with me leading. Although some of the stories may be influenced by other sources they inevitably end up our own creations and twists.
This week we have had my work mate, Shiraz, as a link to King Arthur's legacy and his relationship with Ash from the Army Of Darkness. We have also had a tale about the Invisible Man starting off as a burglar and then becoming a crime fighter.
I love these times we have together. I have audio recorded some and plan to put some into this blog. These will come soon, although I am not sure what media format.
