That’s the premise behind the online serial that Dan Johnson’s writing entitled The Chronicles of Charlie. I haven’t had a chance to read through all the episodes, but it looks like it could be fairly entertaining.
The other reason I’m linking to him? Because the guy sent me a hilarious flame mail template:
Your [political belief] is totally, completely wrong. What the hell are you thinking? The only people who believe [belief] are (troglodytes/out-there lunatics) who want to impose their [belief] on the rest of us normal Americans.
As you can see from this [unattributed web article/blog entry from some guy on the upper peninsula of Michigan] , every single thing about [belief] is wrong. In addition, [some white-power guy/total whackjob anarchist] also references something that might be construed as [belief] in this post on [random messageboard at whitepower.com/the Democratic Underground/WinMX file-transfer discusion group]. Do you really want to be associated with this kind of person, you facist anarchist useless uneducated pile of festering dingleberry?

that’s fricken hilarious. it embodies every single flame post i’ve ever seen!
there was a similar composition about how to write a flame. it contained steps like insult mother, point out iq, explain that only losers would aggree, etc.
good stuff.
Many thanks!
If you prefer print, Janet Evanovich’s book series has a similar concept: Stephanie Plum is a clumsy bounty hunter.
