Movie Idea Easy 10 pts?

Script Writing secrets
KellyRM asked:


I’m making a story/script about two secret agents who get partnered up on a mission, along with two other people (all from the same agency, just different departments.) And they end up in love. (P.S. This is an action/comedy)

I need this for a script/story I plan on writing:
-The subject of the mission
-Names for the four main characters, the target, and their boss
-A conflict to make the two people mad at eachother
-The setting
-The names of the different departments of the agency

You don’t need to provide all of these, just as many as you can think of.

Thank You in Advance!!! :P

They don’t need to have crazy names like Red Fox, or simple names like John Smith. Just normal names. And one of the girls is greek, so she needs a greek name.

What story telling method appeals to you most, and why?

Story & Character Development
Adam W asked:


How do you prefer to have a story told to you (TV, movie, stage, book, anything else you can think of)? Why do you like this method best?

I think my favorite is comic strips. Every installment of those little cartoon people’s lives leaves you waiting till the next day for another scene. Having to wait so long for such a small piece of the story everytime makes it feel more rewarding than being handed an hour of plot once a week on TV or moving the story forward in a book at your own pace.

Is John Beck’s Free & Clear Real Estate System legitimate?

TTownRobin asked:


Has anyone out there in “real life” & not that may have been on television in the infomercial, really profited from this system – without going broke trying to pay for the books, the extra fee for the website, etc? Can you truly buy properties with nothing down when you do not have good credit? Has anyone figured out what the “secret” is? I can see finding very inexpensive homes in the paper and on “foreclosure tours” and the like, having a savings account giving someone the ability to purchase those inexpensive properties for almost nothing (especially if they’ve been vacant for a few years and have been stripped or damaged further), or even having to only pay back taxes to merely acquire ownership, but then the real payments would begin and…well, If I purchased someone’s previous home that generations grew up in, for very little, I would feel so good allowing the previous owners purchase it from me for a very very small profit! One could still make a profit from the system, right?
I have watched that infomercial so many times, and it all seems pretty simple to figure out how to find the properties on the internet or from county real estate listings, but acquiring them for next to nothing, especially the $500,000 homes, is the part I don’t see to be true. Please, if you would, can someone write about your experience, good or bad, regarding John Beck’s Free & Clear Real Estate System?
I don’t expect you to purchase all of the materials, as they are not cheap, then give away all the information within them for free, but there has to be some way that doesn’t seem “scripted” to let folks know, realistically, if this Free & Clear Real Estate thing are experiences that many real people have had. Thank you for any help anyone can offer just to ease my curiosity, at the very least!!

How can I write a supernatural story without being too Twilight-ish?

Story & Character Development
Katrina R asked:


I have a plot for a werewolf story, but I know that loads and loads of authors have written supernatural stuff, and it always turns out a little bit Twilight-ish. Maybe just because Twilight is a very popular novel (I don’t like it personally, but lots do), but I want to avoid that kind of thing. Any tips?
