ill just d/l it off the internet, and you can cry about how the people are stealing your art, then we can make the point that your art isnt really worth how much your asking for it, and possibly someday we can all reach the same goal, until then, we all fail.
good luck mate.

I always wanted to write a book about an arrogant, party loving physics prodigy. Told from the perpective of an uptight former school friend who is paid to keep and eye on him so that he doesn't get too wasted and not produce any work. The friend resents his genius, and it would be funny in a bitter twisted sort of way.

Taffmonster, what would this book/film be about, or have you not got to that stage in this particular project?

well im stuck plot wise i know my main character though cos its inspired by friend kim she has epilepsy but its temporal in the fact that the epilepsy is triggered by a malfunv=ction in the memory centre. so basically when ever she remebers this certain memory she has an epileptic fit and cant remeber what the memory was. it could be anything she just doesnt know cos when she thinks of it she has a fit.
i dont want that to be the plot though just an aspect cos like who needs another fight club/momento

Hmmm....why don't we collabarate on a book/film about a physics prodigy with epilepsy?

how about in stead of a physics prodigy (as otherwise it becomes Pi)
we do fate and his minder has the epilepsy

No, my idea is for a totally different character from Pi. He's a regular early-twentysomething guy who likes to get wasted and party but he's like, the smartest human who has ever lived. He's on the verge of discovering cold fusion (which would solve all the world's energy/pollution problems, but is too drunk or coked up most of the time to work on it. His friend was hired by Oxford university to go on a book tour with him and make sure he behaves himself. He resents his genius former-buddy because he feels like he's just squandering his talent to get birds and booze. It would be funny and satirical rather than moody and dark like Pi. It's basically a story about jealousy and friendship.

Your friend Kim's Epilepsy sounds interesting. The story/film could be about her past. She has something big and dark from her past that she must confront and resolve however as it turns out the memory which is really causing her to fit could be something mundane and tiny like eating an iceblock or an old book or something.

i thought about that but i dunno it seems to predictable. i mean i dunno really i dont wanna write something that seems to contrived but then maybe im worrying so much about originality im completely missing the point of storytelling

It would reference Good Will Hunting in a sort of knowing way, in order to defuse any accusations of a ripoff. The physics prodigy would be way less earnest than Matt Damon.

best thing to write about is something new, yeah you knew that, but make it dreamy, or have a atmosphere, maybe use something from your child-hood, like a story, and grow on that.

I know someone whos an often-drunk and belligerent physics genius. He went to work in this underground lab and split atoms and shit, but now he likes to get drunk and slap people in the face and laugh at the proceeding bitching and button-pushing.

I've actually been wanting to do this sort of thing for the past 3 years now, but only in recent months has it become clear what my story theme would be. However, the only info I will divulge at the moment is that it is science fiction, but it does NOT involve aliens or outer space.
I am being sincere.
