Sorry, my editing software likes to invent its own transitions. Yargh.

I think you and Gamwynn should do epic trilogies.

Hmmm, the two TwitMoBlots who enjoy killing characters the most...can you imagine the amount of blood spilled on those pages???

My (completely non-expert) thoughts on your dialogue: Screenplays are often far more light on dialogue than we usually expect, possibly because it's strange to HEAR characters speak a lot, but not strange to read about them speaking. :) So my thought is that your dialogue is great because it shows the characterization and the conflict, but that you might be able to trim it down to even more basics, like you were saying in your video. What do you think?

I think you're probably right; I was planning on trimming it anyway, but I wanted to get the ideas down, and refine them later. :) At any rate, that's the most wordy it should get, thank goodness. There might be one monologue later, but I'm not convinced of it yet.

This is inspiring. If I do a snippet, I'm so doing it Tom Goes to the Mayor style.

That's a good point. I never thought of that, but then, I'm not sure why I would've.

I didn't see Jumper, but I'm already pretty sure this is a zillion times better.

Funny thing: my whole plot is based on a comment on a blog post on a sci-fi writer's site in which he complained about the movie Jumper, and a commenter made a throwaway remark about teleporters starting a courier service. :) You can see the comment thread here: http://johncwright.livejournal.com/150341.html?thread=3713349#t3713349
