Slott takes you behind the curtain.

Seriously, how did I miss this before now?

I’ve gotten a number of requests for both sample scripts/plots AND for peeks at dead/killed projects. And who am I to say no to Jinxworld posters? So starting today I thought I’d show you some scripts/plots of stories that have already seen print [or] projects that have been bought, paid for, and killed. This happens a LOT in this industry. In the case of Acclaim Comics, I had HUNDREDS of pages of material in drawers– all of it slated to come out… But then the company went through “restructuring period”… And “restructured” itself right out of existence. I probably won’t be posting ANY of that material, since there are a number of concepts and ideas that I can still use in other media.

Then there are certain ideas/concepts/pitches that are dead-dead-dead. Most of these are stories that were done ages ago– and while they languished out of sight– someone else produced something that was either TOO similar to the concept or completely invalidated it.

Dan Slott is clearing out his closet, and you’re invited. With scripts, pitches and Speedball jokes, well worth the time.
