I saw marsala as masala (which is a multi-faceted spice mixture). Didn't even see the R in there.
Connie, I wouldn't lean on you (although I would like more of this, yes please); I had precisely that experience with a ST;TNG screenplay, submitted through agent and loved by Pillar/Berman. It was called "Guinan in Wonderland" and they adored it and it completely conflicted with their at that time unreleased agreed-upon history for Guinan. So they rejected it, with notes about how wonderful it was. Broke my heart. And I maintain to this day that OUR backstory was better than THEIR backstory. Buggeration.
But where I'm kinda going is, if you're going to write more? Do the title to reflect the entire story arc, maybe?
Do the title to reflect the entire story arc, maybe?
And I'm coming up with something like the Road movies with slash. "Rayne and Giles on the Road to ..." And I think I'd best not finish that line.
"...Perdition"!
Seriously, connie, where's the heart of the story arc going, in your eyes? Because that's going to be where the title lives, right?
I've always seen the basic tension between Ethan and Giles as acknowledging that the underlying attraction/affection is still there (and one can run that as non-slashy as you like, it could be a brother thing--no, really!) despite the vastly different roads they've taken. The bond that existed in the Eyghon days and reflected in the two of them getting plastered together as they relived the old days is strong, but the two of them get close to each other and panic.
A journey, of sorts, reflecting them traveling around finding the potentials. Learning to trust each other again, if they ever truly did, while resisting the impulse to lash out and keep their distance from each other.
I think I'll send that theme wandering around the mental thesaurus, see what words stick.
Different lines and scenes from Deb's stories have been running through my head each time I wake up
I've been thinking about it all day, too! And even as Deb is asking Connie for more, I'm still waving my "Deb, Please Write More Amanda!" flag.
Maybe just a play on 'Potential'. It can refer to the Potentials, it could refer to the reawakened relationship...
The best titles are all portmanteaus.
Crap, you just cannot use the word "faith" in anything without people expecting The Other Slayer. Mmffh.
Will get food, continue to think.
The more I think about it, the two iconic images from connie's story are the exploding library and the two-faced coin.
If this were part of a
funny
series, "Ethan Rayne, Agent of J.A.N.U.S." would be cool.
