Hi, I'm Alistair Gray. You may remember from such staff topics as 'Stop bugging me,' and 'I'll look into it.' This is a serious topic, not really work related, this is me writing from home - hey, it doesn't happen very often, so savour every moment. You may or may not know, but my capacity here at Special Reserve is writer, I do the news, the e-mails and some of the reviews. But what I really want, is to write a film/book. And this is where you help me.
I need an idea. I'm a perfectly competent writer, I know all about structure, balancing, character development and all that jazz, but I just need a spark, something to set me writing. I need an idea, a good idea that I can base a film around. God knows I have enough spare time (I'm here aren't I?) and I'm really into the idea of writing some serious stuff, rather than news about a game with monkeys in it. Seeing as the standard of writing in these forums is through the roof, I was wondering if any of you fine people have some ideas you'd like to share for such a project - just ideas, premises, floaty notions - anything at all to get me started, because once I'm off, it'll be done within a week. I'm looking at people like Grix, Meka, Mr. Happy and Goaty, and the others who write such fine stories day in, day out right here on these very forums. You can help me fulfill my potential.
If you have any ideas you'd like to share, or just anything you feel could help me, please e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know, because I'm eager to get started quickly. I'm not looking for anything too heavy, but I don't want to write a comedy either, because... well, basically I don't think I'm funny.
Please, with your help, you can put a smile on the News Monkey's face and fill his spare time with things other than eating. Any thoughts at all, let them flow and I'll thank you profusely in the credits when I'm rich and famous. Cheers.

About a clit?
Hey Goaty, isn't that Fight Club?
Snu...Ali, do one about a struggling rock band that becomes world famous and plays Wembley and stuff. The two main characters can play air guitar and go "wiggly wiggly wiggly wankywankywoo".

Do one about a cult.
I am, a guy that ends up creating a cult and being followed by people, even though he really doesn't know what he's doing.
A bit like Jesus but with no religion and blokes wiv guns

I was with you until you said you didnt want to do a comedy. I have an idea or two but they're for comedies, so I guess I will keep them to myself for now.
Good luck Snuggly
