@soph41190: Why is it seemingly so hard to come up with a series idea that isn't procedural/investigative in some respect? #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@BrettSnelgrove: love having a team, more than one brain makes things 200% better - writing by myself means I have to be more patient #scriptchat

@Bang2write: @soph41190 I read a lot of non-procedural/investigative series ideas... and many feel like they're reinventing the wheel #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@soph41190: @Bang2write but even serials etc! Its just so...everywhere! I keep brainstorming and returning to 'a police offic-oh...shit!' #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@BrettSnelgrove: @alli_and_that what are you current re-writing/writing? #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@madskiadrai: @BrettSnelgrove sometimes write with other people makes me want to fight with him. the problem is the perception and perspective #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @soph41190 what's the problem with that? Tell you what, hardly any decent cops n' docs SPECS, such a shame #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@spayne128: @Bang2write @soph41190 because those formats are easy ways of telling stories. cops/docs make every story going! #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@soph41190: @SamuelGCaine that's true. I suppose Exile and Silent Witness are dead different but both centered on a central 'mystery'. #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:19 pm

May 29, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @spayne128 not *easy* at all - writing a convincing cops/docs spec VERY difficult, that's why I see hardly any specs @soph41190 #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@soph41190: @Bang2write @spayne128 oh no no I LOVE THEM! But it bothers me that I can't seem to conceive anything...different! #scriptchat

@BrettSnelgrove: @madskiadrai I think it takes time to dev a writing partnership to trust each other and get on the same page #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @soph41190 @Bang2write @spayne128 Try injecting in witches or aliens or fairies. Fairies are due to make a comeback, surely? #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @soph41190 sometimes it's not the central story that needs to be "different" but the TECHNIQUE, ie. the "version" in CSI #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@SamuelGCaine: @soph41190 I'm not sure if I agree 100%, but I think mystery definitely can enhance. Even The Sopranos use it to a degree! #scriptchat
May 29, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: @alli_and_that well there was the Tooth Fairy movie that came out so I think that's a start right? #scriptchat

@soph41190: @spayne128 precinct makes sense yes, moreso than 'cop/doc' because it inflicts a limit, be it time or region...#scriptchat
