Hello, I have a script breakdown for my assignment this weekend, but I want to check around before I go ahead and write away.
Have original works here been adapted from well-known literature (i.e. Greek myths, Brothers Grimm fairy tales, Shakespeare's plays, etc.) and still gotten moved up? I feel really good about my story idea but I wonder if it's worth the gamble. Please let me know, thanks!

If you check the FAQs you can use previously created characters by you or someone else. You can’t use pre-existing storylines. So Batman would be OK as would Romeo - just don’t copy the Dark Knight. |

Thank you for pointing me towards that clause. I read the part about using previously created characters before but overlooked the part on previously created storylines. My idea isn't directly a previously created storyline but rather the aftermath of one, and in a completely different setting. Of course, I wouldn't want to risk that much, so I will go back to the storyboard and re-visualize this thoroughly. Thanks again!

I think technically if you did “After The Dark Knight Rises” or “Rosalind After Romeo” you’d be OK .. but also I don’t know how well this would do.
You’d hope people wouldn’t have a bias - but you never know.
