Looking for a female co-writer to toss ideas with on this. PM for interest. (Also, if you are from Tuscaloosa, please don't blame me if my locations aren't accurate... It's... Tuscaloosa... in Dimension X!!! *laughs*)
Moon over Alabama (Taken)
Genre: Romantic comedy (?)
Hook: Unexpectedly, a straightlaced freelance artist (me) inherits a two-bedroom house in Tuscaloosa from a recently deceased uncle. However, there is a caveat-- he has to pay off his uncle's loans for the rest of the year or the property will be foreclosed. His earnings aren't enough, so he decides to rent out one of the rooms. Sometime near the first payment deadline, someone (you) accepts, and they conduct business completely online. By the time the new tenant moves in, the artist has spent a large part of the deposit to pay for part of his uncle's loan.
Problem: The new tenant is a female, which wasn't exactly what the artist intended. (Maybe she has a gender-neutral nickname, like Sam or Alex or Mel... Or maybe they conduct the whole business with just online usernames)
Possible complications: The girl is his polar opposite --boisterous, messy. She could also very well be quite younger than him. (A student at UA? Assume the guy is early to mid-30s.) They might inadvertently have a drunken one-night stand, be awkward about that for a bit... There's a lot of ways this could spin out...

Oh, and what the heck, maybe someone could make heads and tails of this as well: Soul Kitchen open for a femme to play Psylocke of the X-Men/Exiles.
