.. i.e.: what do you feel the market is for fantastic/fantasy stories. Not modern-techno fantasy like the Matrix (which I dug), but stuff in the supernatural world, *beyond* ghosts. Things based in myth but spilling into "real-world mundania", like Charles deLint does with his novels (take all the denizens of Celtic myth & lore and dump 'em in "our" world). As a writer new to the screenplay/script world, I worry a *lot* about whether my ideas/imaginings are faaaaaar too "weird" for the everyday Joe Moviegoer. Most of my previous work has been adult "faerie tales", most of my inspiration coming from deLint, Pamela Dean, Midori Snyder, etc. But how well can that cross into movies? Is there any market for that at all? I mean a good auld-fashioned faerie tale with plenty of scary bits -- whoever said faeries were all fluff and light were "eedjits" - a touch of modern horror, some fantastic unexplainable phenomenon and... <??> Something that reaches out to everyone, into the soul, and drags out that wondrous faerie belief from childhood, never forgotten...? And makes you say, "yeah, I DO still clap my hands and dont let my feet trail over the edge o' the bed, and stay clear of willow trees and old oaks....."
