Female Co-Writers Wanted
I am looking to add to my current in work stories. I am looking for a competent female co-writer for new ideas that we can work out and get to happen.
Part of the fun of posting ideas here is the process of working together to refine the story before we kick it off -- this is a shared experience, of course. So don't expect me to stomp my foot and say this is the be-all-end-all. But here are some ideas I have banged around:
Remember the TinMan -- Inspired by a show I saw recently, I thought it would be neat to explore the darker interpretations of the Wizard of Oz. Specifically, taking the story to move on after the "original movie" that a tinman now finding a heart has to move on from losing a girl that helped him to find it. I want to explore a story that doesn't follow the original, and allow it to become our own entity, so probably would take a fair bit of back and forth before we jump in.
Boom Town -- Black Hills of South Dakota during the onset of a gold rush, and the towns are filling up with folks who are trying to find their riches, either by hard work or by profiting from those who work hard. He's fresh off train, naive as all hell, and ready to tap the hills of all its easy gold. She's been here for a while, and makes her money selling whatever is left of her pride she has left. The rush is on, but it could be which of the two can keep whats left of what they are.
From Out of the Cold -- He lives off the grid, far from modern conveniences. It's the winter trapping season and he is out here for the duration. Until someone arrives out here with no means to get back to civilization. While they figure out how to get her home, they grow closer.
Student Body -- Professor / student story. I have two characters developed in my head. One where the professor is happily married but meets a student driven to be successful on her own; together they can't deny their feelings. Or it could be played where he has to confront one more stuck-up full of themselves student and when alone with her during an office hour takes her to give her a real lesson.
Mall Rat -- You are some kind of non-conformist (goth or dread locked or just raging against society) college woman who gets through her days working at the mall judging everyone who comes through. I'm a recent military Vet who has a beef with 'ungrateful kids'. Having to deal each with her to a boiling point, he exerts his will on her while she seems to find a bit of a sub side of her own.

I am willing to discuss these or any stories. You can check out the other ideas I've floated in the past, or stories that have come and gone, in my links in my signature.
