Suddenly, Ducks
From Wikiwrimo
Suddenly, Ducks (or commonly SUDDENLY, DUCKS!) is a plot device used by many to move the story along by adding random ducks in the novel and having to explain why they are there. Originally just ducks, it has other variations, such as Suddenly, Demon Ducks! or Suddenly, Dancing Ducks! Similar to the Traveling Shovel of Death or the Trebuchet Club, it serves to make NaNoWriMo a bit easier.
History
