Hello there! Remember me? Never mind.

I stopped posting at CBn a long while ago to work full-time on my fan screenplay. Over a year ago, when I joined CBn, I came bearing gifts in the form of a treatment called 'Time Is The Enemy'. I never finished posting it. I never even finished writing it. But after an awful lot of soul-searching and writer's block, I started work on it again. And finished it.

The final product is a very different beast, and a better one, I'm sure. It's now called 'End Of Eternity', and I will start posting it in the Fan Fiction Posting section soon.

This is the thread for discussing it. I'll also put down some other bits and bobs relating to 'End Of Eternity' (or EOE, if you will) here, like a trailer script and the lyrics of a theme song.

I hope you enjoy 'End Of Eternity'.

- The Australian Outback. Huge and deserted.

Malech: We are the fists of God!
- The Coliseum in Rome,wrapped in spotlights and colour. There

I thought the original version of your script was fantastic and this looks even more so. See you kept my suggestion of Rachel Weisz as Iona - but what happened to the delightful Miss Mann ? I quite liked that name - Iona Wood doesn't seem to have the same ring to it does it ?

Otherwise, I eagerly await this revitalised Time Is The Enemy

Thanks for the praise everyone!

Iona's last name is Wood because she had been married, and did not revert to her maiden name after divorce. It's purely for character development reasons, really. But she might still have been called Iona Mann before that, however. It's not really touched upon.

Besides, in the Time Is The Enemy draft, Iona was far more, shall we say, 'pushy' than she is now. Iona Mann (or I Own A Man) no longer fits for the kind of person she is.

Not that she's become a bimbo. Oh no, far from it...

I just did.

I like that you made Mathsis sort of dubious, and before we could find out anything else, he is dead. Well done.

Despite having some trouble with the forums recognising me and such, I have now placed Part Two ("Curiosity Killed The Cat.") in the Fan Fiction Posting section. Enjoy!

Part 3, Interference, is now on-line.

Tell me what you think of the script. Even if it's just a "[censored] off!" it is appreciated. I want to know if people are actually looking at my work.

And if you are, thank you for reading EOE, and sorry for wasting your time.

:)

It is cool.

Don't worry - it's working fine. But, to be honest ? I actually liked the old pre-title sequence. I think Raven also worked better as her real name than her codename, the use of Gala Brand just came across as 'not quite right' in this case.

Otherwise, absolutely bloody fantastic.
