I'm on the bus back to Coquitlam station after leaving Chaos a bit earlier then planned (A hang-out type deal got pushed back till tomorrow) and I met a friend and a comedy writer named Mason on board the #169. I knew him in high school and we do the old song and dance of "Oh hey, what's going on?" type deal and he said he's working on a movie script. I told him to give me the pitch, he didn't know what the pitch was as he poorly executed it.

Seriously, all my stories--even the really crappy stories I can pitch in under a minute. It's like a writer's resume, it's a science and an art. If a writer doesn't have a good pitch then it's like having a really crappy resume.

So back to this guy, to be far. I have had my idea as a cliche and horrible ideas in the past. However when someone criticizes it I retort but I don't insult the person... That's what happened Friday, the artist was criticizing my story only too get the feeling that I understand what I am doing and my goal for the story.

So, this was the person's idea.

Essentially it is a "Black Superhero/Comedy/Action" movie script that focuses on Character A, B, C (He calls them guy, girl and friend)

Character's A father is a famous superhero that was killed when Character A was very young on public television. For some reason Character A grows up with superpowers (Earth-like powers, was never explained what) and decideds not to be a superhero. Meanwhile Character C is a friend of Character A and tries to tell him that he needs to be a superhero cause of his power. Character C always wanted to be a superhero. Then Character B (Girl) comes into the scene with Rock Superpowers (Controlling rocks via psychic link) and Character A has a crush on her while Character C (The Non-Superpower one) teaches her how to use her super powers. After watching her and learning about her Character C does sciencetific expiraments on Character B and becomes a Supervillian who... CONTROLS EARTH Power things! Character C is now a badguy, Character B tries to stop him but almost gets herself killed then Character A kills Character C and Character A becomes a hero....

Pretty bad, I thought... And how he explained it was a tad worse then how I typed it due to all the likes and buts. We then dicuss what I'm doing and I mention I'm trying to become a writer and working on a few projects and he asked me my opinion on the script. I gave him a numerious reasons why it won't work and what needs to be changed but he didn't listen to me :(. I told him I've seen Fan-Fiction that had better writing about lesbians in it then his plot. Right off the bat, not being a comic book geek of course this comes off of my mind:

1. Not another superhero movie.
2. Why do they have Earth Powers? (Apperantly he says that it's easier to do in CGI >.>)
3. If Character C was that smart in Science.....(Insert whatever here)
4. What does A turn back to be a superhero after saving one person.
5. Doesn't fit the genre. (Black comedy)

He took it like I was insulting him and left for work. I shrugged it off.

In other news my Anarchist Brujah like Character in EoE now has a status of Three!

I am now Acknowledged, Vailent, and Just!

I'm still :(, as the Toredore are trying to take my status away because they don't see how awesome my character is at saving their asses. By saving their asses I mean pull one of the characters into the line of fire of an enemy and use them as a meat shield as opposed to them breaking the masquerade. The Treimere are annoyed with me because I'm rising to fast in the ranks at god like speed. Not to metnion my status no brings the Brujah to Rival in the Clan standings, only opposed to the Gangreals.
------------
I had a breakdown of "OMFG I"M UGLY" today on the skytrain and earlier because I feel so exhausted and so forth and of course the whole no dating thing is wierd and..blah blah blah. I should get going and study so I'm not a worry wart all day tomorrow when hanging out and so forth.

Finally, one last question:
