No probs my dude.Stormtrooper1990 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 11:46 pm Thank you, Jack_079.
I like a little horror myself.
I have been thinking of expanding into horror, and sci-fi.
Give action adventure a little break.
I think your style would work well in the Horror genre.. . lethal is pretty much the default setting there.
For Sci-fi i'd say it's more 50/50 ( depending how how you want to portray your infiltrator/protagonist/antagonist).
For other genres (wartime/spy/action/historical/crime) then there is more room for variation.
This is just my opinion of course, based on what I like.

Re: A Night at the Museum
I was thinking of doing a female vampire rogue, with uniform stealing, swashbuckling. Non lethal with most humans but lethal only as a last resort. Throw in some fem/fem romance vampire with a human.simon4242 wrote: Sun Mar 12, 2023 12:05 am i have edited it ....i would like to see you try period swashbuckling ie robin hood zorro/anne bonney / uniform stealing with a female slant side by side with your lethal work even some western stories calamity jane etc etc
Westerns? Interesting but will need to make it my own, without cloning Desperadoes.

For horror, I will stick with lethal. Actually the Daughters is only my third horror story. My first being House of the Witch Epilogue.
Sci-fi, I tend to prefer lethal varieties as well, like shape-shifters and the Species movies.
For the other genres, I tend to go 50/50, but I prefer grey heroes, not whiter than white
So many ideas

My favourite SI S2 episode i wrote was "project Thanatos."
I wouldn't mind doing a heist, like I did for Nightingale and the Wasp.
A heist gone wrong, like a female reservoir dogs. There's an idea...

Re: A Night at the Museum
like u said one shots/two shots ideal for lethal ..longer format more scope for variety
