Hey your film-maker types?

How about one of you make a movie from one of my short stories? :lol: This way could at least talk to the author as I am not quite dead yet.

Lagwolf,

Any particular story of yours you would recommend? One that could be done as a short (on a low budget) without straying to far from the source material?

Take care,

Sounds like fun to me. I would ask the same questions Pickman asked.
How would you feel about another writer, not me, writing a script based on your work?

As long as you give me credit and let me see the script, once you are done...I am game. Oddly enough I have no idea what tale would be best to film. They are all interlinked with the character of the Sage of Wales. I think that something like the story about Cthulhu spam might be interesting or maybe even Fishies :p

I have not read your books yet.

Where is a good place to start?

Maybe I can help figure out one that might be fun to do cinematically.

Well Temple of Dagon hosts many of my short stories www.templeofdagon.com/writers/andrewdodge.htm

Fishies could be amusing...a Cthulhu mythos tale that has an alternate market in the plushie fetish scene :D

I am sure you can find a local plushie group in any big city. It would be most amusing.

That sounds unique. I look forward to reading that one.
Do we want to look to deeply into the world of plush animal fetish? Ah what the hell.

There is a sequel called The Experiment up as well.

I did some research into it online and found myself l.o.l.ing quite a bit. And there are those who are into aquatic things as well.

Heh, one does try...surely that is my gig...being a mythos writer. I am thinking of returning to the subject in a future tale.

Is that a tentacle or are you just glad to see me?

I have ordered a copy of "the gathering dark" to check out your work. I look forward to reading it.

Excellent thanks...I have been able to retain my own eccentricties while doing my bit for the mythos pantheon. I am embarking on creating on another tale tomorrow...
