A failed novelist finds work as a high school teacher. Bitter and cynical, he instantly wins over the goth crowd, who tell him of a ritual they can perform that can make him wildly successful as a writer.

He doubts their abilities (being cynical derp) but when they begin to show their deep talents through paranormal phenomena (poltergeists, telekinesis) and redirection of fate (teacher receives an unexpected raise, old ex-girlfriend wants to rekindle romance) he is willing to give it a shot.

The caveat: the teacher must literally travel through Hell to be given the gift; not the hell of Dante or the hell of fire and brimstone, but the hell of emptiness. He must spend time trapped in limbo, accompanied by naught but his thoughts, until he is pulled back to reality by the goths overseeing the ceremony.

While the ceremony is going on, the dark forces of the Netherworld from which the goths take their power return for the goths (gotta give a little to get supernatural powers) and all the goths in the ceremony die before they can pull the teacher back out.

The dark forces then invade eternity, and the teacher has to find his way back to the world he knows before falling to their insidious grasp.

Fast forward 400 years into the future. Cryogenics has allowed people from past times to be finally revived. How do they cope with a radically different society? (herp derp Futurama)

Immortality has been "invented." With the merge of the mind and technology, memories and everything else that makes us human can be uploaded into computers, immortality can be achieved by taking the data from your old body and putting it in a new body, albeit it is very expensive. Some people work their whole lives so they can afford a new body. Some people fail, some people are stuck in an endless pattern of toiling away in lifetimes so they can renew their time alive when their old body is about to die.

How does this technology affect war? What happens when your mind is uploaded to two bodies? For the people who can afford it, how do they deal with immortality? Is immortality good or bad? What are the ethics of "growing" a body in stasis so you can upload your new mind when the new body is at a prime age.

Of course such technology would have to be protected. With normal human reproduction rates, overpopulation is a problem even in space. Not everyone can be immortal. How does immortality affect people's view of reproducing and continuing the human race?

Or in a super-idea, a person who is cryogenically frozen wakes up in a society where immortality is an option. They find a fortune in funds which piled up while they were dead. They can easily afford this. How do they deal with the future and immortality?

I don't really have a story line but if I were to write something based on this. Also my other idea about an apocalypse scenario where humans send out a giant, self-sufficient space station into the unexplored vastness of space in search of a habitational planet while Earth dies. Won't go into that, I'm taking that one seriously.

I think it would be cool to show how people are dealing with the grief of knowing someone they loved was killed by that serial killer. Like you have the first person narratives for each person be at different time intervals from when the murder happened to show how some people digest grief. like person a who was the mother of someone killed by the killer could be like 2 weeks into grieving and be really angry and volatile and then person b be like 2 years since their father was killed by the killer. as long as it wasn't revealed how long it's been until the perfect time to make the reader guess a bit.

Two best friends travel the world. One decides to move back home to pursue an education, the other opts to stay and continue travelling for a bit more. On their last trip, the richer one buys a Range Rover and fixes it up, and they travel the Australian outback with it. When he leaves, he leaves the car as a gift to his friend, but they both agree that once he is done travelling in Australia, he'll give the car to another traveller, but only if that traveller promises to pass it on, etc.

The story follows the one who pursued the education a decade later, now successful, when he finds the broken down car in a scrapyard. He fixes it up and talks to the scrapyard owner. The story basically follows him as he takes the car and journeys backwards, meeting each traveller and finding out who the last person to have it was, in order to find out what happened to his friend.

Historical satire (science fiction?): American Congress is more insane than usual and passes some legislation regarding time zones that none of congressmen bothered to read very closely; a particularly devious congressman includes a line about the time zones being divided by centuries.

I came up with another one. It was supposed to be an intelligent work but it ended up being about a hybrid of zombies and robots.

You see, it was about civilization becoming a lot smaller but a lot smarter but we’re still too snobby to do our dirty work ourselves, so a team of scientists invent a serum that restores the motor functions of the recently deceased but does not restore their capacity for thought, thus turning them into a highly-expendable workforce. The dead rise, pick apples, and then sort of deactivate (they are also like robots).

It’s fine and all until people get too dependent on the work force and don’t allow the laborers to deactivate, keeping them running all the time. To keep them functioning, however, they need continued doses of the serum. The problem is, the increased doses begin to restore some of their brain functions to the point where they gain enough sentience to connect their living with the serum. It’s around this time that the serum becomes a metaphor for heroin and the zombies are metaphors for junkies.

I’m considering having some sort of plotline where the zombies, so strong in their numbers and with their increased capacity for intelligence, begin holding revolts and overtaking the plantations on which they work. They also represent the slave revolts of sugar farms in the Caribbean during the 1700s, only successful. In the end, the zombies begin using the humans as slaves to produce the serum that keeps them from decaying and collapsing.

There’d be some allegory in there somewhere, I guess. I didn't think it out very well.

(Moral is peace isn't good, for war to cease someone had to take charge) But the knowledge of said ruler is scarce and almost non-existent.

Because the omnipresent ruler uses the sun for his source of power so night never comes. (or something)

I was working on a short story that I got bored of after five days, but the idea is this:

In this world, pain can be harvested then made into pleasure. So there are two different societies of people the Supines and the Sanguines.
The Supines are forced to work menial jobs such as pushing large boulders around that serve no other purpose then to build up a "pain" inside of the Supine. They also work other experimental jobs which are done to achieve Pure Pleasure. Which is basically a sort of myth, and companies throw it around to boost sales.

Well, after a Supine's shift (they work two, six hour shifts) is finished, their pain is harvested though their blood then gone through specific scientific changes done by Sanguine Placentologists. Many companies each with their own formula to work on. The result is a form of Pleasure, each different in their own way. (The pleasure kind of works like a drug.)

The story explains all this then I worked on two brothers who had a Supine mother and a Sanguine father, which is extremely forbidden by the Government. The twins are adopted by the Government, and the mother is jailed. But the father can't be found.

The twins are used in a experiment by a new company, Pure-O Tech. The experiment guarantees the production of Pure Pleasure. Basically the two brothers are placed into two small mechanical chambers, where one is affected by a sort of drug which creates massive amounts of pain. Which is then transformed into pleasure and administered to the brother in the other chamber continuously.

I had more which included the taking down of the system by a group called the Supine Liberationists, but I've already written a lot. I'll just keep it at that.

A psychologist friend of his tells the man about an experimental method of countering depression by lucid dreaming, while doing so, he meets a beautiful woman, "the woman of his dreams"

As the book progresses, the man falls madly in love with her, and sleeps as much as he can to dream about her and be with her. His son hates him for not being there with him anymore. To the reader, it begins to be unclear whether he is dreaming or not, and the woman may in fact be real.

In the future, a ground war is fought using advanced weaponry. Plasma, laser weaponry, blah blah blah. Terminator 4 type of environ.

I'd enjoy it if the enemy were totally alien, something along the lines of Forever War. The creepier, the better. I'm talking fuckers so alien that there's no point in even trying to see their point of view.

The human military intends on building a time machine to send a soldier blah blah blah. The chrono-lab exists somewhat removed from the front-lines. They use a rookie to check out kinks on a first test run.

Malfunction occurs. Machine explodes, rendered useless. In fact, fuck it--the entire test labratory dissolves into ashes.

Test soldier is stuck in some quantum stasis field at the end of time. Think Quantum Leap, except character ain't in a waiting room, he's frozen in time, literally on pause.

Our story actually begins within (AND REVOLVES AROUND) the ranks of a platoon stationed near the now-destroyed labratory. Their original orders were to protect the lab, but who gives a shit since the enemy draws closer each day.

Our frozen time-traveller appears within their midst, now aged ten years, with intimate knowledge of the platoon and an aptitude for battle leadership. After a few tension-filled first encounters, they accept him.

It's tricky though. Our time-traveller can only stay for a few hours every jump. The platoon sees him every few months or so.

Here's the kicker: he's randomly pulled out of his time-nap along his own timeline.

>> No.1036190

In other words, his platoon first meets him when he's older. Next time they see him, he's younger. Sometimes, they gotta fill him in on what's going on, other times, he leads them to small victories.

Somewhere along the middle, his CORPSE pops into the platoon with some sign that he's been killed by someone on the team. This leads to strife in the group, trying to figure out who did it and why, while the time-traveller has no idea about this particular development.

Maybe they don't tell him so he can continue to keep them alive as a group. God knows if he finds out, there's zero reason for him to help these murdering backstabbers stay alive.

Book should end ten years later when the platoon figures out the time-traveller wanted to die all along. Hell, he's only popped out of the stasis to fight, never getting any real R&R. They kill him and that's that.

It'd be nice if the guy who does him in is the same guy who was at first really horrified that anyone would kill their time-hopping buddy.

>I emailed them two days ago, I have yet to hear back

Hi,

It's my understanding that you are looking for a script about boxing. I have one. It is called KING COLES.

The synopsis, as requested:

Colin Coles is a small time hustler who sells cigarettes on the streets of Los Angeles which he orders off from the Ukraine on the cheap. To make ends meet, he sells in increasingly dangerous areas, including around his friend's, Jim "Bricks" Maloney, underground, illegal boxing ring. At this venue, the undefeated street champion Morton "Rollin' Thunder" Brooklyn has a epileptic fit outside the view of the crowd in front of Coles, who is assumed to have taken him down in a single punch. Rumors spread like wildfire, and Coles contacts Brooklyn with a scheme: the two will market Coles as an unbeatable outsider, and put him up against Brooklyn. They will then throw the fight and get rich on the odds. Tensions raise as Bricks gets word of the scam, and as Coles gets the confidence to think he might actually have a shot. And then, Coles falls for the beautiful Samantha Woodbridge, the hard-boiled bookie who belivies in him, but may be a mole for the police. Will Brooklyn kill Coles? Will Coles betray Maloney? Will the cops come before its all over? Can Sam and Colin make it out alive?

I'm thinking Michael Caine for Bricks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Coles, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for Brooklyn. Woodbridge could be played by a lot of people, and I had no particular actress in mind while writing.

It is my understanding that The Writer's Guild of America sets $40,700 as the minimum for a script. I will accept this amount.

I wanna write a detective novel with all the well-established cliches in place: a hardboiled, lonely detective, a chief who thinks his best man is starting to lose it and keeps busting his balls for not following procedure, a debonair sociopath that taunts our hero to catch him, a victim so sympathetic it's impossible not to want her killer brought to justice, twists and turns aplenty...

Except, it all takes place in a universe where people are aware of their lack of free will. They're basically prisoners in their own bodies, forced to act as though they choose to do things, but really they're just unwilling passengers watching the action. So a big part of it would come to building up this atmosphere of futility, "What's the point of catching the bad guy if he didn't really choose to act? Is the detective really determined to carry out justice, or is he just forced to go through the motions?" etc.

Extraterrestrial ship come to earth. It stays in Earth orbit and they send out many satellite probes and don't give a damn about humans trying desperately to contact them. Years pass and there is no improvement, no contact whatsoever.

Suddenly probes start to kill people. There seems to be no reason. People are incinerated with surgically precision from satellite probes in orbit. Earth retaliates, but everything is for nothing. Nothing damages alien ship and deaths continue, not against attackers but in same, apparently random pattern. It is not a fast process, one after another people die, like from some disease.

In following years there is chaos. There are new unsuccessful attacks on ship, religious unrest, panic, accusations that ship is international conspiracy to control birth rate and so on.

Probes only kill people that enter red zones. Humanity expects aliens to settle in empty zones. Ship stays where it is. Probes are dormant and only kill trespassers.

Half a million years into the future. Humanity evolve as would without aliens in safe zones. There are wars, there is peace, it is as if aliens don't care what humans do in their part. Aliens themselves are dormant, they only zealously protect red zones. Then suddenly they disappear. It takes some courage on human part to enter red zones and when they do, they discover wonders. Certain animals there evolved and developed sophisticated intelligence. There are communities of various monkey species man. Highly spiritual communities of elephant man. Super intelligent squids and so on. From them they learn the reason for all. Aliens drove humans from destroying themselves and enviroment and allowed animals to evolve on their own.

A guy wakes up in a town filled with genii, in the middle of nowhere. Except the nowhere part is actually quite literal. The town is cut off from the rest of the world by a claudication in the time-space continuum. Anyways, this guy has to adjust to living in said town, until aliens start invading earth through a FTL transport system that interferes with the town's claudication, causing the town to snap back into the real world. The earth is helpless in the face of the alien's advanced technology, so it's up to the citizens of the town to save the earth from the alien menace.

Thank you for the feedback, bros. I was unsure about whether it was "fun" enough to make up for its silly premise but now I'm more confident about it.

Yeah ending is a big problem. I just couldn't think of anything better to end it with.
I don't want aliens to be of any other interferance besides killing people and even half a milion years seams too long for humans to even remember aliens.
