Answer:

Answer by acct10132002
The writers should submit these to TV shows. Mail a copy to oneself in case you want to date the time you wrote it. Might be accepted. Why not devise your own characters and stories?
That way, not plagerizing in any fashion. Modifications to characters and settings can make it mostly “original”. Anybody can get inspired by a work be it painting or writing but getting too close is plagerism and a crime.

Question: Are works of fiction, “just fiction” as some say, or are there always real ideas behind fictional stories?

I totally agree and feel the people who say this kind of thing don’t really understand literature.

Answer:

Answer by Persiphone_Hellecat
An author always has a meaning or a reason for writing a novel or any work of fiction – and there are always the author’s ideas behind the work. That is like asking if a magician really does magic or is it just illusion.

I’m teaching a unit on survival surrounding Jack London’s The Call of the Wild. We’re focusing on the idea of primordial instinct and the questionably immoral things that people and animals do when survival instincts kick in. We’re also talking about which of those things we consider excusable and inexcusable and why.

I’m looking for short stories (preferably fiction rather than totally true personal narratives) that focus on these themes. Ideally, I’d like to have them read something that isn’t about the cold — maybe something about a desert, ocean, or tropical location would work better.

Any ideas?

If you ever bought those cheap video catalog books that Roger Ebert publishes you can see a brief description of plot and character goal. It would be nice to find a database that I can search on fiction works.
