Re: Story Idea
Date: 2006-01-04 03:44 pm (UTC)Awesome. :D Okay. Great pitch. Now I need an actual plot. 'Cause... I don't think you want the non-plot of Clerks. It's overdone. What are they attempting to accomplish between the front cover and the back cover? Because I will not accept 'SHE's a trigger-happy, sword-toting, mecha-wearing woman with a score to settle against a corrupt galactic police force that relegated her to a desk job! HE's an old school superhero pondering his place in the new landscape of Earth's future! THEY FIGHT CRIME!' as a plot. I'm too old for that. I'm not six. BTW, is it trigger-happy /or/ sword-toting? Swords don't have triggers, Two Dead Boys aside.
