Should I be freaking?  
Today was supposed to be "work on AIW site AND finish HT ch34"-day, but the only part I got to was the site. I couldn't focus much after that because a certain couple that I sent Crystal Palace 2 to a year ago emailed my dad to ask for a copy of the script again, with more graphics as well.

It wasn't they that had misplaced the script and had decided to perhaps read it again, it was someone else that Catherine's husband, John, had sent it to once before that wanted to look at it again, who apparently called me a "talented kid". So my dad is all calling her up and they're talking and I can't make out everything they say, but Catherine was saying it was pretty special that whoever it was wanted to see it again because "98% of scripts don't get read".

I decided to do my own research on John, kind of thinking maybe what he's worked on would give me a little guess as to the kind of crowd he'd send it to, and I was very shocked. Catherine said he had just finished as construction coordinator for Avatar (and there were pictures of them with James Cameron on her Facebook), but I also uncovered that he had the same job in Burton's Alice in Wonderland, as well as Edward Scissorhands, which I already knew. A lot of other movies, too.




...Holy shit.

My dad is surprised that I'm not jumping off my seat, but I-I-I just really think it's good to stay level-headed here. I don't know what it means. I'm giving it time. I sent them copies just a little while ago and Catherine said she would explain more later.

Naturally, you'll go to all the parties with me, if John's playing Akira. ;)

OMG BG that's great to hear! :D <33 I'm so happy for you! It sounds like your Crystal Palace project is heading somewhere big! And like [livejournal.com profile] tea_holic said, if you become famous (which you will!), I want in on the first exclusive screen previews. And of course, your autograph. XD

But still! This is a first step. And your talent is like a slap in the face, the readers will be feeling it pretty soon.

If I don't get invitations, there will be some blood flying! I love you :) Keep us posted!

Now THAT is a funny analogy. XD I just pictured my hand swaying out of the script.

.....*jaw drop* Dude, you are lucky, congrats!! I hope that Crystal Palace goes farther than this, you deserve it!

Now, I'm not big on the whole party scene- being the antisocial caterpillar that I am- but if you're ever in a bind and need and editor, you just call me up and I will edit that beast for you. (Though I'm sure you'd want someone professional.)

If I could recruit all my friends, I so would. XD But if anything happened now, I'm sure I wouldn't even be in that position of power.
