h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"As the first to actually do this 'solo', how about scripting a story for AVing? Take something that's already been published, arrange the dialogue, note where you want sound effects and stuff. If you want a real challenge, that's the next level."

Hmm... *rubs chin* moving in to the realms of actual script writing... made for another medium other than to be read... well I already started that other story, but this is definately interesting... only really thought about it once before when we first discussed Firestorm... but do I have the skills to do it? Hmm, don't mind me while I muse a while... it's certainly more of a "sculpting" role, but that in itself sounds interesting. It's certainly the way that radio/television scripts are focused...

On that note on a slight aside, I just had an idea about getting a few AViators and doing a murder mystery type thing... could be fun... sorry mind wandering there...

Are you aware of any stories that wouldn't mind a "for radio" edit? Would prefer something relatively short to cut my teeth on... HPB did an interesting alternate-superhero story a while back for the post, that could be interesting...

I'd really need to realise the difference between an audio book and a made for radio production... which sounds daft, but I can't quite clearly see in my head yet...

Yes interesting

Well, I'm very pushed for time right now, but I'll try to have a look around. You'd need something fairly dialogue-heavy for a one-off, I'd imagine - an extreme example would be A14126302 - but that wouldn't be necessary with a good narrator (Mu Beta?) and a text that allowed for a good number of sound effects.

And a murder mystery would be an insanely clever idea...

Have a think about it. I'm easier to reach by email at the moment, but if you're not in any rush I'll see you back here in a few days

No rush... need to go to bed anyway! And busy week ahead... but certainly there is more to be discussed
