Thanks for the input everyone. This one is now in the hands of a filmmaker in the UK. Let's see what they do with it.

Quoted from JohnMcCarthy
I liked this. A lot. But, can't really tell if this is a time-travel story or a ghost story. Who is responsible for the VR set? Raymond? Mia? The unborn child? All three of them? VR Raymond uses the plural ("We did it.") at the end. I guess I wanted a bit more. But, again, I really liked it. Beautifully written.


Oh wowser. I'm sorry I missed your comment. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I appreciate it. Maybe the OWC pushed it into the shadows?

Thank you again.

Congrats Pia, nice one!

"I agree with you, Pia. Sometimes too many explanations can drag something down.  Leave all the SciFi drone stuff as is imh."

I was watching some director/writer vids on utube today and I heard this little tid bit about sci fi and how it tends to do badly at the end because it explains too much.  The commentator mentions that interstellar would have been better if they cut out about 30 minutes of dialogue. I think he said towards the end. Which I found interesting becasue I'm working on a sci fi feature and I really don't want to have to explain why my aliens are doing what they are doing.... to be honest right now I'm not quite sure myself lol.... maybe thats why I like that comment.

Thanks! Let's see what happens with it. The fact that they asked me for advice makes me think they're new at this, but we all have to start somewhere.  

Kirsten, I can see that about sci-fi. Hard to know where to draw the line between explaining enough and explaining too much. Thinking about Alien for example, we don't get a full explanation of how the world works in that film. We get enough to satisfy our need to know, but basically nothing about the nuts and bolts of the workings.

That's right, I suppose with sci fi alot can be left up to the imagination or explained in the sequels...
