The Titanic Cinematic Universe
I have often spoke about how stories on Terra aren't "As good" and that we're just not story tellers like folks from Earth. The truth is, I use the part of TC's Earther brain to take my ideas and turn out the words. I figured a concrete example of just how bad it might be might be the Titanic Cinematic universe. Some examples of movies around the original (which is actually more or less a mirror of the Earth version plus a lot more sex and nudity in the car):
Titanic 2 - A well meaning WWII shipping magnate tries to use the blueprints of the Titanic to ship weapons to troops in England. Sadly, the Titanic 2 is shot down, and our brave American and the USO entertainer heiress are lost at sea.
Titanic 3 - During the cuban missile crisis, Cuban, in an attempt to build the American blockade, builds a ship using the Titanic blue prints ...but gets sunk, nearly starting WW3. The doomed American / Cuban love affair does not go well.
Mr Limpit 2000 - A revival of the classic but it is revealed that Limpit was actually descended from a dolphin that tried to save Jack on the original titanic.
Avatitanic - Unable to get his dream made due to the awful performance of Titanic 2, Terra's James Cameron made a space liner called the Titanic that orbitted around Pandora. The doomed love affair between Sigourney Weaver and the Face Hugger was disrupted by evil cat people.
Titanic 4 - Set in the 80's, this cross marketing feature included Jaws, Predator, Aliens, and Batman and is viewed as a cult classic. It also bombed, primarily because of the inclusion of Punky Brewster as a vampire slayer.
Titanic Forever (Titanic 5) - Necromancers raise the Titanic as a Ghost Ship where all of the characters from the previous Titanic fight off the Phantom from Phantom 9, Love Isn't Going Away Anytime Soon; wherein the Phantom Cinematic universe permanently became part of the Titanic one.
Namor - Fox held onto the liscense for this and made an X-men movie wherein they used their powers to raise the titanic and attack Atlantis. Namor stopped them.
Titanic 2 - A well meaning WWII shipping magnate tries to use the blueprints of the Titanic to ship weapons to troops in England. Sadly, the Titanic 2 is shot down, and our brave American and the USO entertainer heiress are lost at sea.
Titanic 3 - During the cuban missile crisis, Cuban, in an attempt to build the American blockade, builds a ship using the Titanic blue prints ...but gets sunk, nearly starting WW3. The doomed American / Cuban love affair does not go well.

Thoughts on Scripts
I have several ideas for films with other people, right now the leading candidate for me to do next is the Beatles script I wrote and put up earlier here. I owe a friend of mine a pass on his script for The Sentinel Chronicles, but I don't know that I'll put that one up here. The full pass he's asked on his Noir script I'll put up either in the two minute form or the long form I put up, likely next.
But I am also thinking of a solo script and solo film project to resharpen my editing skills. The problem is, doing a movie by yourself is...weird unless done right. I have one idea about multiple personailities warring on themselves but that has been done to death...BUT...this one might have enough of my own quirks that it might be doable.
Maybe.

Humans of Four Worlds
Any good biologist will tell you that just because species look alike, doesn't mean they are. Indeed, in some instances, those creatures that have the same phenotype (appearance) have a radically different genotype. There are a number of reasons for this, including evolution's choices are sometimes limited in certain niches; probability is just going to go a certain way sometimes. Other times it is deliberate in an attempt to capture the shape of a more deadly, more dominant species in any attempt to use their power as cover against potential predators.
The Four World are not even close to all of the potential worlds that they are, but they are 'compass points' by which the terrifying inhabitants of Outer Fae behave, and thus Inner Fae and thus Terra and Gaia took their axioms regarding all human worlds in the immediate vecinity. Each world and its situation has given the humans of that world tremendous abilities, despite their similar appearances.
Terra: Growing up so close to Inner Fae, it was totally logical for these humans to interbreed with them. As such, the humans of Terra have tremendous magical capability and the ability to generate off spring with most anything. There are half fae, half vampires, half ghosts and many other sundry such things running around Terra. This also means that as creatures of magic, they tend to be great story tellers but not the best makers of tales, so the same stories get used and reused many different ways.
Gaia: Their proximity to the great old ones makes their sanity fragile, since their ability to self decieve and find hope where there is none is legendary. Humans of Gaia are able to also stop 'mandelbrot probabilities' before they happen; postponing inevitable events. They are also tremendously vulnerable to mutation, corruption and mind control. Any form of cloaking works well on the inhabitants of Gaia.
Mana: The inhabitants of Mana live in a world where their belief actually shapes their reality. Stories can be very dangerous for them, because while they are not story crippled like Terrans, they are not as great a story tellers as the inhabitants of Earth. However, once they believe a story, their belief increases the quantum possibilities of it, making even the most fantastic or unbelievable thing more real. This at one time made their world a fascinating, deadly and wonderous place. Now it is among the most boring in all creation.
Earth: Humans from Earth have the highest quantum wave form probability; more than all three other worlds combined. They are more 'real' and if they are given reason to disbelieve something can collapse the quantum wave form of a thing just by observing it. They are also master story tellers, and if a story from earth spreads to Mana, it can become real in many many worlds; especially Terra or Gaia. They are only able to master invisible or unseen magics however, since the slightest variation of their observed beliefs often causes them not to be.
