Drafts and other ways to lose sleep

[alexmegami]

Draft #1 of "Stolen" clocks in at a full 40 pages.

Pretty short for an hour, especially since large chunks of that are description, but in my head you'd need those extra two minutes or whatever for big shots of the Otherworld and to express certain concepts.

At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

...

I don't really want to hand this over. I don't think I can take rejection right now.

On the other hand, it's Gordon... And a waste of paper if I don't.

Sigh. Away it goes.

As in, Kelley Armstrong's Stolen? *loves!*

[alexmegami]

*laughs* No. Sadly, that's probably much better than what I wrote. ;) What's it about?

[she-prime.livejournal.com]

It's about werewolves.

I bet what you wrote is awesome. :) You are brilliant!

[alexmegami]

Aaah. Similar subject matter [well... as in "White Wolf has made a game about it"], but no. ;) This one's fae. More like Neverwhere, I guess.

Except worse.

And thank you, but I'm really not ;)

*hand wave* Bah. I will be the judge of that!

And if it'll make you feel better, you can always read the kind of crap I write. ;)

[alexmegami]

Yay!

*laughs* You remind me a bit of the McFlys (you know, from Back to the Future) - "I dunno, I'm just not sure I could handle that kind of rejection...

[alexmegami]

Hehehe.

Hey Alex... would you mind if I check out your script?

I still have yet to send you mine. I mainly haven't yet because you seemed pretty busy as of late. Let me know when it would be a good time to toss it your way.

As always, chin up! ;)

[alexmegami]

Well, if you send it to me now, I'll get around to reading it when I can. ;)

I'd like to edit mine in light of the comments given before I pass it along to you, though. OK?
