Reported for blatant self-promotion, enjoy your perma ban.

(But seriously, awesome job! That'll be next on my to-read list!)

"Harry's All-Night Hamburgers" is also a pretty good read. I could definitely see it as either an animated film or a PG live action family film (if one scene gets removed or replaced).


Thanks! I wrote it over the course of about 7 years and finished it on a self-imposed goal at the end of 2014. I go back and re-read certain scenes and genuinely crack up, forgetting that I wrote them in the first place, so I guess that's a good sign. lol

I luckily have a few solid industry contacts that will potentially get it read quicker than otherwise, but there's no making up for garbage, so I am trying to get the script as tight as possible. It's a bit longish right now for what amounts to a straight comedy.

Do you have a link to Harry's All-Night Hamburgers? I'm a sucker for sci-fi.

I really like the idea of nr:7 - Cobweb.

If done right, it could be really good. Make it a straight up thriller or more of a modern Hitchcock spin on it and I would be all in.

Broodmare has a nice build-up, but the payoff sucks. It's like, that's it? Might make a middling episode of a sci-fi/horror anthology show.

Harry's All-Night Hamburgers is a neat story with Groundhog Day undertones and a no matter where you go, there you are" theme. I can see it as a Netflix movie.

I like the Time Traveller cafe pitch.

The "Worst guy ever.." idea made me throw up in my mouth.
