Writers: What are some crazy things people suggested for your novel?

I've gotten a lot of weird suggestions for my plays in different groups and workshops. A professional dramaturg once suggested that I end my play mid-sentence. Her reasoning was that the suspense was so well built that it would shock everybody when it just stopped happening. I think she must have been a Soprano's fan, either way, I knew that ending would infuriate me as an audience member so I respectfully ignored that advice.
