Story iDea 3: Wings of Glory Trilogy


Working Title (codename): Project: Wings of Glory (WOG) Trilogy

Setting: Earth, World War 2, Alternate History Time line, Aviation

Expected media formfactor: Movie, Multimedia Experiences.

Type: War / Action adventure / biopic

Maturity: Character over all plot framework complete, wrote the first few scene of the script but forgot where I backed it up.

This story was born out of my hobby for planes and my hobby for reading World War Two history. Development began roughly in late 1990s when I came across some comics of similar alterative history promise.

Early ideas was to make a first person prospective movie, similar to those seen in the monster movie Cloverfield, but in much higher definition.

It involve multiple battle sequences involve German and Allied flying machines that were still in design stage or testing phrases at the end of the war.

It started out as just a back to back duology, but somehow after watching the movie UP, I expended it into a trilogy of stories. A fourth alternative hisotry tale about Ausralian ANZAC forces in WW1 is also to be set in the same universe.

The three aviators from Germany, US and USSR respectively. I envision these stories as three biopics, three soul searching, coming of age tales. The idea is to see the war through their eyes while keep the audience entertained (or think) with action sequences stretching from the entire WW2 to Korean War, then the Cold War.

The first story about the Germany pilot is to be the introductory to the timeline so more character stories can be filled for the US and USSR characters.


Trilogy Plot introductory:

The year is 1937, a young gifted Germany aviator was the star of the Berlin Air show. There he met a younger American hot head pilot, youngest son of a famous US aviation tycoon and a boy genius from the USSR. Their skills make them friends and admirers of each other, but unbeknown to all three of them, the ruthless wheel of history would have them meet again in the skies of battle fields three years later.

Story iDea 2: MU:The Next Avatar?

Working Title (codename): Project: MU

Setting: Near Future, Earth like Alien planet

Expected media formfactor: Movie, Multimedia Experiences.

Type: Science Fiction / War / Action adventure / fable

Maturity: Finished, 100 chapter written, firmed major character and plot development. Extra detailing and minor plot doctoring.

This story was born out of one Chinese Idiom.

Development began roughly in 2000.

Early ideas were a large scale action sequences, involve world war two style military hardware. The 2003 Iraq war brought more political arrogance into the plot, other real life world event up to 2007 also influenced the plot.

Eventually the story was completed in 2009 with three key grand scale action sequences, one bigger than the one preceded it. I was surprised by the movie Avatar in 2010 for the number of similarities between my story: Human travel to Alien Planet with larger body size Aliens civilization; War between Human and Aliens; Humans aid the Aliens; High-tech war machine against Low tech military.

Plot introductory:

The discovery of an Alien device in the Bermuda region turned out to be a intergalactic teleporter. Those transported over by accident found themselves stranded on an Earth like planet where its human and Alien habitants are engaged in a titanic crash of civilizations. For those from earth they must choose sides before they figure out how to stop to the devastation as well as find ways to return to Earth.

Story Ideas 1: The Star Wars Project A Introduction

Working Title:                       The Star Wars Project A
Setting:                                   Star Wars Universe
Expected media formfactor:  Novel
Type:                                      Science Fiction / War / Action adventure (possible social commentary)
Maturity:                                Story frame work completed, firmed major character development


I credited the original Star Wars movie series for my love for science fiction.
Therefore, I have always had my own Star Wars plot, it began as a sequel to the original series, yet the large number of mediocre extended universe books had me turn all the ideas to be set in the clone war era instead.

By doing a clone war story, I would not only develop large scale war, none-stop action, I would patch up as many issues the prequels had in them as possible, plus through in social commentary and my version of Jedi / Sith Philosophy in the mix. If it ever gets done, it would be a Star Wars story with a lot more relevance to the modern world.


This story basically born out of: what if I write Anakin's tale. This story is a character centric tale where some one with abilities rival Anakin Skywalker struggle to retain his sanity, face hard choice of love and loyality and slowly descent to madness during the battle of the clone wars.



Plot introductory:

Story of the Runner up Chosen one.

A young Jedi Previously thought to be the chosen one, rescued and trained by Jedi order, has no choice but to join the Jedi's biggest fight ever: The Clone Wars.

As a Jedi intelligence service operative (AKA Mi-6), he has to face the enemy's fear some counter part in process of virtually unlimited resources. He was also assigned to protect a secret society formed by the Jedi order to protect those force sensitive beings who aren't qualified to be Jedi from the forces of the dark side!

Then he is put in charge of the defense of his home planet system turned in to vital resource the republic war effort, where he encounter the beautiful young Senator may be responsible for the death of his parents.

But it was his attempt to find out what happen to his parents would lead him to the biggest secret of them all: The true identity of Darth Sidious and his plan to weaken the Jedi Order!

Current plans for the story spans three volumes, with the first as introduction of the character and those around him, then the next volume is his love story and his struggle to NOT use the dark side to battle the dark side.
