A FANTASTIC STORY?



I ran out of ideas while writing a story about a writer who is blocked.  He was halfway through his novel when his characters went on strike for better character traits.  They felt that they should be equal to the characters created by William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain.  How can writers write when their characters refuse to work for them?

I never thought that my main character's characters' strike would affect me.  If their strike does not end soon, then I will abandon this story and hope the literary police do not arrest and charge me with Criminal Negligence and Story Abandonment.

It was such a fantastic story idea before I ruined it by turning it into writing.
