SCRIPTFRENZY + plot help, please!
Perhaps stupidly, I signed up for script frenzy this year, as I decided to back out of nano last november.
I'm writing a screenplay for an animated film that I once envisaged actually making with puppets myself, and now kind of consider trying a hand at animating a much shorter version of. (If I am insane, anyway.)
the basic plot: a FAIRY TALE ( Read more... )
I reckon I got this kinda sorted.
The children of faeries and goblins have a single guardian. When your guardian dies, they are buried at the Family Tree, and the genetic material is assumedly taken into the tree. It is not a cloning process, the other gentic material is airborn from another tree... from the opposing 'species' (obv they are not different species at all, then). The tree releases the 'pollen' when it takes a deceased body back, and recieves pollen from another tree. The child of the dead guardian then becomes guardian to the baby. It becomes very important to retain ownership of dead bodies for proper burial then, or species numbers would fall. Population would otherwise always remain stable.
While the genetic material of faeries and goblins is continously exchanged, their societies don't mix, they are non-gendered, and within a society the genetic line is very clear and linear.
None of this is pertinent to the script particuarly, but it might become so as I write. For instance, one of my guardian's friends is childless but has an ancient guardian figure themselves. And, the banishment of two young children would be like permanantly reducing the population, so a pretty serious action to take.
