So I am trolling around on another PGL board and I see that someone has mentioned La Llorona, my script that I have entered. The only problem is that that are talking about it and two other scripts that have the same name. Which I know means that the premise is probably similar too.
WHHHHYYYY MEEEEEE? I scream, flop my head down on my desk. A co-worker peeks over to make sure I left my rifle at home.
Man what a bummer.
The thing is, I am banking on lazyness. When you start writing this story and any story you can take a few different framework directions. One person might have a ghost who casts havoc over a household and they call the ghost La Llorona because of its recognizable name. Or maybe a group of teens venture out into some woods and La Llorona kills them all. Or maybe... well you get the point. I guess I am just hoping that they wrote a lame ass version. I decided to take the harder route (of course I am gonna say that right?) and researched the hell out the the various versions of the story and did a composite, with story attributes that make it easy to digest.
Anyhow, I also started thinking and just because the name is the same doesn't mean the stories are the same. It would be like one of the writers that wrote a vampire script freaking out because there are like 200 vampire scripts in the top 1000.
I don't know, whatever, I am done crying thanks for listening/reading. I am going to be in agony until April 20th like everybody else I guess.
