Netflix steals my story

Whose Wife Was She?

This is Netflix's newest show.

Chambers:
"Haunted by eerie visions and sinister impulses after a heart transplant, a teenager tries to unmask the truth behind her donor's mysterious death."

Art imitating smut? Smut imitating smut? Or should I be checking for hidden microphones. This is the third story I've written that somehow popped up in the news afterward.

Erie isn't it.

I was driving home one day back in 1978 when I thought I should look into a store that sold nothing but batteries. I would call Batteries 'r Us.

A week later, on a corner by my house was a story and all they sold was batteries! All kind of Batteries! It was a dinner two weeks before that. I thought... WTF?

And I never told anyone about my idea.

It was called... The Battery Store.

I've long thought that TV producers could get the base for their show scripts from stories swiped off the Internet.

Once heard that we’ve been telling stories so long as a species that there aren’t any new ones now anyway.

That doesn't stop TV shows from getting scripts elsewhere--and paying for them.

Yes, quite true. We’d all be better off they did it that way more often.

Or not! The road to redemption is a long costly legal battle against well funded companies.

********
The one just before this was a once in a hundred years, never happened before. And there it was on the evening news. Everybody making a big deal out of something I'd written about months before.

So there's a story within a story. A poor ink stained wretch writing for pennies on Literotica starts to see all his stories coming to life.

"As poor Gordo aimlessly wandered down the street six gorgeous blond big-titted bitches threw themselves at him...We need a master they cried. We have trust funds!"

The plots remain and recycle because, even though "human nature" can't be discerned, hominids remain hominids. HOW a plot is told can vary immensely. What can you do with a setup of boy, girl, and rattlesnake?

Write it as Woody Allen would.

Oh, please don't. The guy may be a tremendous artist, but he makes sex cringe-worthy. If he wrote his stuff on this site, the stories wouldn't earn a 4.0 rating.

Then there was Woody Allen's lost film, "Honey, I Fucked The Kids." Can't post the script on LIT.

The sequel would be called I lie about everything.

You post that like a 4.0 rating actually means anything bad on Literotica.

I have to assume you weren't around when Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex was released. The lineups for the movie were around the block. I was around 20 and I never laughed so hard.

Coming out of the 50's and 60's era it was fkn edgy and funny. That his humour is from that period may be why generations with sex available 24/7 don't find it funny, but in it's time, it was superb! He'd have gotten a 10 out of 5 here.

Seems that way, huh? I've had a few ideas that seemed somebody else beat me.to the punch to...

Somebody seems to think there were no TV or movie scripts before AlGore invented the internet.

Shows for tv shows are like fashion. Something that regularly gets recirculated and called new.

 

[Emirus]

I’ve read, and I’m sure others have, stories with a rating of well over 4.5 that should never have seen the light of day and minus 4.0 that have been great.

If you’re going to put information on here get it right. It was Donald Trump that invented the internet.

Huh! Everybody knows it was the Russians who invented the internet... Oh, wait, my bad.

A challenge ...

Look up a song called "Creativity" performed by a group called "Relaxraum", composed by a guy named "Andy Rohrer", listen to it and then tell me if you've ever heard it before.

What are the cliffnotes of your story?

What are the cliffnotes of the Netflix show?

The donor thing is a commonly used plot in horror.

Well if you took this:
Chambers:
"Haunted by eerie visions and sinister impulses after a heart transplant, a teenager tries to unmask the truth behind her donor's mysterious death."

And wrote it like this:
Transplant
"Haunted by eerie visions and impulses after a heart transplant, a wife tries to unmask the truth behind her donor's death."

Not that I'm worried about it. I know it takes time to line up movies and TV shows so it's more of a coincidence than anything.

Although one would speculate that enterprising script writers would have a field day looking for ideas on Lit. Already organized for them with voting data and popularity. It's just that it's the third time in the last year one of my stories has shown up in the news. Last one before this was a once in a hundred years of history thing that I wrote about. Never happened before, but there it was in the news a year after I wrote the story.

The donor thing is a commonly used plot in horror.

News to me, but I'm not big on horror movies.

 

[rescatooor]

I've seen this "plot" of heart transplant resulting in flashbacks in a film named Tell Tale, which is somehow loosely based on the short story by Poe. Lena Headey was in it. Only reason I remember it.

But yeah I bet it has also appeared elsewhere.

Or you could go back to 1990 with Bob Hoskins and Denzel Washington:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Condition_**8film**9

"Hoskins plays police sergeant Jack Moony, a bigoted cop; and Washington plays Napoleon Stone, an adorable but sleazy ambulance chasing lawyer who Moony hates. Moony's years of bad habits, such as overeating, smoking, and drinking, finally catch up with him. At the same time, Stone is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. After suffering a heart attack, Moony wakes up to find out that his new heart was once Stone's, and the dead lawyer's ghost has become his constant companion. Now, Moony will have to solve Stone's murder."
