Stolen Ideas?

(1/4) > >>

Ren:
I are annoyed...I just discovered someone has published a book shockingly clsoe in concept to a movie idea I had awhile back; what happens when a buncj of sci-fi/fantasy convention-goers are trapped in the middle of a convention and the center of a Zombie outbreak. That was my concept anyway but this book is more limited to a trekkie-con where mine involved a broader spectrum. Mine was actually intended to be more serious, but with its share of funny moments. At least my concept had a cooler name..."The Apocalypse Convention"
...sigh, this is what I get for sitting on ideas...8P

Enjorous:
Many many moons ago when my dad was in college (Chico State in CA) he and his two roommates sat down and started writing a fictionalized version of their college experience. They made it to about chapter 3 before a little known movie called Animal House was released. Everything in that movie was going to be in the book but the shooting of the horse in the deans office.

Yeah it sucks when someone steals your thunderous idea.

Including the deathmobile and the parade chaos?

Enjorous:
Well entering a parade they were banned from...Although in reality they won second place until it was found out that they were banned from the parade in the first place.

Ren:
My story had a scene where a zombie in a storm-trooper outfit is trying to gnaw on the brain of a drunken con-girl (dressed a sslave leia?) but is too stupid to know to take off the helmet and she's too drunk to realize he isn't trying to give her a hickey...8)
