If you really can't think of anything creative or original, then work at developing your writing style really effectively, so that you present a cliched idea really really well.

Take a look at a variety of crime fiction compositions; they might give you a few ideas on how to write a variety of crime fiction texts. Just be careful for the HSC. The composition might not be a story.

I can do characters fine.

It's the crime part that screws me up. I can never think of a good twist or red-herrings or a tangible denoument.

GAH! I knew i should of dropped extension at the start of the year!

I was stressed about that as well during the beginning of year 12. My imaginitive writing for the HSC ended up being like CSI, lol.

my formula is a mafia story with generic mafioso characters including a don, capo's and their families and then a hell of a lot of blood, rape, violence, sex and torture, in the most horrifically descriptive form i can think of.

gets me full marks every time. honestly, violence is the way to go, not parody.

I was actually considering going 'ulta-violent', but then thought...what it gets way too heinous? hmmm

I shall surely roll-over and die...in my own crime scene and in my own denouement everyone will realise how crappingly crap I am :p
