Help me with my new project!
May. 6th, 2007 09:40 pmHey everyone! I'm writing again! And it's a play for New Voices!
Amazing, I know. But after going out for a walk and dinner with
elenuial tonight, I got a flurry of inspiration that I need to do something with.
The premise of it is this: Jake has just moved to Chinatown (shush, the reference was made on purpose xD) and has discovered that he has inherited a number of ridiculous household spirits along with his apartment. He thinks he's going crazy until his landlady/realtor tells him that they're good luck and that everyone has them. So now, Jake has to outwit them - even make them helpful! - in order to take back control of his house.
( The list of ideas for spirits thus far )
Here's where I need your help. The list of spirits is just an idea, but it's still full of holes. If anyone can think of ways to outwit/make helpful some of the ones above or has ideas for new ones, feel free to comment. As many as you like! And if you can think of ways to foil the new ones too, go ahead and write it down. I might even make people little presents (icons or something) for helping out. =)
And when the script is done, I'll submit it to New Voices and let y'all know if it gets in. =)
Thanks in advance, everyone!

EDIT: Oops, almost forgot! I need a malevolent spirit, too. Like, evil. He doesn't need to outsmart this one, exactly. I just need a suggestion, like "Spirit of Handguns with Broken Safety Locks" or "Spirit of Household Fires." That sort of thing. No-good ones. I'm toying with the idea of the conflict-sparker to be an angry ghost, but I think malicious spirit might work better.
