I thought it was a pretty corny, melodramatic start. I know if a
loved one of mine turns up missing and I find her dead, I'm sure not
going to be eulogizing her on Plot-D.

Now I've taken plots from the media before, but never practically
word for word. My derailed "Thing" plot was probably the closest I
ever got to copying a script, just a good thing it fell apart early.

Besides, hasn't somebody already done the Crow? Or at least used the
character?

And to think I scrapped my courier idea because it was spiralling
towards Johny Mnemonic (the book not the crap movie).

Damn, I'm just in one of those moods this month, aren't I?

Uh-oh, am I gonna hafta delete myself for Flamming?!!!
