YES!!! Hahahaha, don't you worry, I'll try to find one as obscure and tough as that. Good choice of game to do though :P
Valkyrie Profile???
I thought I'd try my hand at something a little different, so here's the opening to a story that's been mulling over in my head for a while now:
There are many great things about man. He is intelligent, and he can think, and reason, and create. He is strong, and he can survive, adapt, and learn. Up until my experiences with the local Terran tribe, I had never held those last four traits at any value.
While man is great, he can also be harsh, violent, cruel, and judgmental. I suppose it is our nature to fear that which we do not understand, and the Terran and Techa could not misunderstand each other more. This is the world that I lived in, and while I hope that you live in the brightest of futures where my world would be unimaginable and unnerving, my story must be told, or history will be doomed to repeat itself.
Mankind was not always one unified race, as you now probably take for granted. The Techa and the Terran were forcibly split by evolution into two distinct and opposing races. The Terran, or the "Brutes" as we used to call them, lived off the land, hunting, gathering, and taking only what they needed to survive. They were rugged and disheveled, but they were proud.
Then there were the cities of the Techa, where I was born and raised. The Techa people were brilliant and industrious, building giant domed cities and making the impossible come alive with their intellect and will. They could travel the world in seconds and conjure food and energy out of thin air, and thus, they lived a life of complete luxury. There was nothing the Techa mind could not achieve, but the Techa body was very weak. With machines doing all the work for them, there was no purpose for their bodies. They could not move an inch without their Shells, and the air outside their cities was unbreathable to them. My experiences changed my perspective on both races, and perhaps even changed the world.
My name is Gray Anderson, and I was the first of your kind.

Get animators, not writers! I don't want one of those hacks taking my job :P lol, jk keep doing your thang....
Terribly sorry, mafino (your writing's a-pretty pretty good btw), but I'm just gonna temporarily hijack your thread to shamelessly plug myself! Hi! As most of you who are able to look to the left know by now, I'm Dr_Worm, and I'm a writer also! I have a couple of big and unique ideas that can really be good shtuffins with the right animator. I'm not gonna post samples here because it's not my thread, but you can just PM me if you're slightly intrigued and maybe want to sneak a peek into my head :P Thank you, okay mafino, take center stage again!
Advice: don't release the first Flash you make onto NG. I can almost assure you it will get blammed.
First of all, if you're gonna do one of these, NEVER have the words "writer for hire" in the title. It brings back bad memories of the worst of your kind. Second of all, WRITE ACTUAL GODDAMN SCRIPTS!!! Your little "example" was not a script, it was a bad unoriginal unimaginative random jumble of words with bad punctuation. 1 minute and 1 bad punchline isn't a "movie". I'd be more sympathetic but I'm so sick of threads like this making REAL writers who are trying to get their ideas out (*cough* me *cough*) look bad. Thank you, namaste, and good luck. Learn to write before you say you're a writer.
Why 'tis there no one posting on this thread? I kinda wanted to see it work! Consider this a bump.

Aw, thanks V, but if I'm not mistaken, you have a guy with bad teeth to kill :P
Nice drawing style! I wish one of my "big ideas" was something that fit (by which I mean comedy) but unfortunately right now I don't have that story....but! I do have a smaller idea but I dunno if you'd be interested since you'd probably need to be familiar with the source material. I was thinkin' of a sort of series of quick sketches that are parodies of the popular (and amazing :P) TV show "Lost. I haven't actually written scripts yet but I have some basic ideas.
Sorry to double post but I forgot to shamelessly plug myself.
I'm a writer as well! Yeah, there seems to be a lot of us without much work these days :P but I fancy myself a little bit different. You see, most of these "writers" have comedy one-punchline shlock such as "guy gets hit in balls and it's funny" (and it is! But it's not a standalone cartoon :P) or ultraviolent plotless action freeforalls (which only Krinkels can make into art :P). What I plan on is a bit of what you've seen before (sitcom-like comedy series, series of parody sketcches, yada yada yada....) and some things a little different (drama series with focus on plot and character...not on blood). I'm not asking for stardom and I'm certainly not asking for money. All I wish to do is to entertain and to get an animator to work on a project with (hopefully) a great story that they can get excited about. Intrigued? PM me and let the magic begin!

As great a site as NG is, the best things aren't appreciated. They'd rather see Barney fart than hear intelligent well constructed humour. Forget about a Drama unless it has violence in it. NG users appreciate shameless comedy with bad animation, or perfect animation with no plot. Neither of those contains a worthwhile story.
If you have talent, learn to write in proper format and try your luck in Hollywood or New York. Better start now. It's the most difficult business to get into.
Sigh, the most difficult business to get into happens to be the one I wanna do....yay!!! Anyways, while you're mostly right, occasionally good, moving plots and smart humor do slip through the cracks at NG...look at things like Waterman, the George Bush Show, and Broken Saints.
This one is nowhere near as well-written or as clever as the Mr. Collins one. So please, go back to your main account and quit while you're ahead.
It isn't the best show ever by a long shot. The South Park episode on it really changed my perspective on that show. But it is still very funny, and I'd hafta say my favorite episodes are "Running Mates"-where Peter and Lois run against each other for school board, and "E Peterbus Unum"-where Peter founds his own country.

Haha, hopefully :D
Ooh, thanks for putting my name up, that should somewhat help. Anyways, yeah, send your PM's to me if you want. Unfortunately, my big comedic masterpiece(s) is already taken by an animator, but I do have an engaging sci-fi-drama series (I made a link before) with most of the voice cast already cast, plus another little comedic thing I'm still mulling over in my mind. So send away!

Not anymore, it's not. Poor Pluto :( Whatever, though, it had a good run :P

1. Halo 2 Superjumps
2. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: if you drop a paintbrush it floats in midair and you can jump onto it and reach rooftops and shit.

I'm not dire.....at least I don't think I am :P You're quite talented in the art/animation field, though, so please, a-clicka here and see if it piques your interest. This is the writer request thread, tis it not?
1. Unlimited Wishes
And then it just goes on and on and on from there.....
Dr. Worm from the East, but I'm not a doctor who's a worm, I'm a......muffin.....with a top hat.
As annoying as these things are, this guy is one of the best. For the few seconds of heuristics all people go through when they first read something and believe it to be true almost had my jaw drop to the floor at the sheer brattiness of the whole thing. Probably because at my school, a kid actually got a poor old man fired on false charges just basically because he could.....but he didn't milk expensive presents out of it >:(
Guild Wars, it's the only real MMO without monthly fees. Personally I think it's gotten overly strategic recently, but whatever.
Adam Phillips is pretty talented and it sucks verily for him that all of Disney's 2-D studios (where he used to work) were shut down. But....the best I've ever seen was whoever made that "Fallen Angel: Teaser" thing a while back.
This is what the Writer's Guild in Clubs and Crews is for. But then again, it's gotten overcrowded and convoluted. Now it's more of an artsy fartsy posting place for artsy fartsy things as apposed to an open market for animators and writers, so keep this thread up, I'll be lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce on an animator in need of an idea! :P

Ba-Zing! Post sample work and spell correctly.

He does alright, Newgrounds is in the top 1,000 websites so I would assume ad space rakes in good cash, plus NG merchandise and Alien Hominid.....but, keeping a website of this size up and running costs a lot, too......
And Bruce Willis was a dead person the whole time but he didn't know it. Ba-zing!
