This whole thing is so well thought out and described I can easily envision it as a "Sky Captain & The World Of Tomorrow" type of story, only better. Not to say I didn't like "Sky Captain" but the range of characters presented here and the world they inhabit are so full of life and energy even in this synopsis that they're practically yelling to go through their paces in a novel or screenplay.

See now you have to do something with that, "pull the clay pigeons" they almost sound like support staff, or kamikaze decoys. Clay pigeons, rock!

Because that is apt. Ah well... Damn, I should’ve called this category “Clay Pigeons”.

Because that is apt.

Ah well…

Neville Mon, 12 Jan 2009 22:38:17 +0000 http://kink.wreckingballroom.com/?p=6#comment-2 Holy, man (not to be confused with Holy Man)... The description and detail placed in each of these characters is so vibrant and fully fleshed that I can't help but imagine them having lived in more than mere synopsis. Only, you know, they haven't. Anything making reference (especially so cleverly) to mythology gets a gold star. And antagonists so properly attributed to Echidna, Mother of Monsters and Cerberus, Hounds of Hell makes me wet. Well, at least, giddy. Though my natural inclination is of course to Mayumi (bubblegum punkish, in love with a nerd AND Japanese?), I have to say I find Winthrop Blond positively too derisive that I must enjoy him completely. He's like the modern dandy, and dripping-sinful in that manner. Shades of Dorian Gray, certainly. Kudos. It's entirely a shame (because it is so well thought up) that this is a clay pigeon, only serving to get shot down. It seems so prime for so many possibilities. That said, a fine Frankensteining of concepts will serve you well. And yeah, often I will attempt doing that "new theme for each section" technique and have never been able to keep it from going up in and flames and taking my excitement for the project with it. Oh well. Nev Holy, man (not to be confused with Holy Man)…
