Whichever way you go this sounds awesome. If you ever want eyes on it I’d love to read!

Would recommend just picking up one of his short story books to get a good feel for his breadth. They’re fantastic!

A lot of his stuff is almost like acid trip sci-fi. Not so much spaceships and hard sci-fi stuff of that ilk, just weird technologies and thought experiments set in a sci-fi world. My favorite are his short stories and I have like 5 volumes of them.

When I read Philip K. Dick in college it was a blast discovering how many fun movies were based off his stories. I love PKD.

That cover art is so beautiful. I miss that style.

We are in boats of a similar type. At least it feels like the angst can feed into the horror writing?

Trying this right now. Part of me feels guilty I’m not just finishing the one that’s further along, but I’m also getting the most ideas for the OTHER one while trying to work through roadblocks on the first. The mind is a funny thing.

It is my dream to play full sized shuffleboard. I just want to be an old man on a cruise.

Oh man, there are so many greats to choose from. Can’t really go wrong there. Rashomon is my favorite.

While I recognize there are better FF games, this was my first and I’ll always have a fondness for it.

I am so excited for this movie.

Do you feel it’s more there’s been an uptick in scammy contests and the market is oversaturated, thereby devaluing wins? Or do you think even the previously legitimate ones are backsliding? I had been told a while back to basically ignore everything except Nicholl and AFF and like a couple more

My guess is they’re getting tons of applicants for any job that goes up, and lots of out-of-work people are applying for EVERY job they see, so there’s a mountain of non-matches. This way they can get a batch of resumes that are truly exact matches before a job even goes up.

Oh man, I’m in the exact same quandary. Have such a fun idea but I’m only like 10 pages into it.

Love this list! I also came from playwriting back in the day, been a while since I busted out my collection of old scripts. David Ives was a big reason I started out in comedy.

Is it wrong that I immediately jumped to horror when thinking of a 2-year-old protagonist?

Oh yeah, FNAF really filled that gap, but I was thinking more Holy Mountain-ish. Like animatronics trying to find their robot god or something and wandering the wastelands and having strange encounters.

Now I want a movie about discarded entertainment animatronics forming a makeshift family and wandering the wastelands.
