Genre: Thriller
Plot: Noddy and his friends are making their way through toyland, when they come across a mysterious hole in the ground, they make their way down to the bottom of the hole and find a can of custard, it is labelled do not touch, in fact if opened this could mean serious implications for the town of toyland, noddy and all of his friends.
Turning point 1: noddy and his friends find a mysterious hole, after guessing for a while and ignoring tubby's claim it could be treasure, they find it is a can of custard, despite being labelled 'do not open' they see it as a let down and noddy puts it under his bed.
Turning point 2: A mysterious out of town wizard warns Big ears about the can of custard, saying to take it out of the town at all costs. he ignores the wizard and all the friends set about trying to get the can open to see whats inside, it is a difficult job.
Climax: after managing to get the can open, a mass of custard swarms toyland and creates a river of custard, the friends chuckle and start to eat it, they seem pleased with the nature of their adventure and continue to eat custard for days to come.

Not sounding bad Ninj! (And speaking of, how's that going?) I'm more of a fanfiction writer than an original author, though I have toyed with short stories from time to time (my novel-writing efforts have fallen flat repeatedly). One novel that I would love to write (that I've toyed with more successfully than others) is a humour/sci-fi piece exploring concepts of reality, how people interpret things differently and so forth. Not exactly sure of the whole plot and ending though (See why I do short stories? Ideas, I'm good with - plots, less so) I did actually start writing that (lost what I'd done when my house got hit by lightning and my hard drive got nuked ), and in the first chapter had a discussion between the two lead characters regarding whether God exists or not - the poor protagonist ended up horribly confused and under the impression that he'd been sucked into some strange world where we all exist together, but with each person in a separate reality ;D

While the Matrix writers stole one of my ideas in the past (me and a friend were discussing the 'humanity is a virus' thing two years before the first Matrix film), I shall not be returning the favour. It's more looking at how people perceive things in the way they want to and in effect build up their own 'realities' around them - it's tricky to explain without being able to quote what I already wrote, but no, it's definitely not looking to be Matrix-esque.
