Story Pitches and Outlines
I love telling stories, and may even post some of my own one day. Until then, this is a collection of all the story ideas, pitches and outlines that I have posted about various franchises.

They Should Make a Star Trek Show About the Earth-Romulan War
In a previous post, I talked about the premature cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise. That was gutting for a few reasons, but the worst part is that we never saw the Earth-Romulan War that informed the formation of the United Federation of Planets. Still, there might be an opportunity here. A reunion/reboot of Star Trek:…

How to Remake the Phantom Menace Part 4
A no-spoiler version of the Prequel Trilogy Imagine how awesome it would be to watch the entire Star Wars saga in chronological order and still be surprised by all the original trilogy’s twists and reveals.

A Smallville for Batman.
(It recently occurred to me that my blog posts constantly cycle through Zelda, Mario, and Star Wars. So now I’m also going to talk about Batman.) Spoiler alert for Gotham (2014) Batman’s origin has been done to death. But there is a reason that people keep coming back to it. It’s an interesting story (if…

Restarting Terminator.
(There is a newer, edited, and more readable version of this article. Available here.) There’s been some talk recently about James Cameron writing a new Terminator script and I am, immediately, on board. I loved Terminator as a kid and the thought of a new one does really excite me. I know the franchise went…
