I'd get someone to proof read and correct the grammar first.

Will you be writing it in English or in your mother tongue?

It's got potential!

Sexy subplots always help though

Ok, I'm confused. Is this a robot or something?
Isa477 08 Sep 2014
In reply to ThunderCat: is not a robot.

I think even a robot would come up with something more original.

Sorry...the links above show that the same question has been posted in lots of other forums and I thought it might have been some clever bot with an ulterior motive.

My mistake.

You could still be right.

No, I misunderstood.

The story reminds me a little of Stargate

It's possibly the best plot I've ever come across. You'll be beating of the Hollywood bigboys with a very large literary stick. Are you looking for crowd funding?

In reply to Isa477:

Joking aside Isabella, what language do you intend to write this story in? English obviously isn't your first / native language, so what you might find is that no matter how good the story is, it will not come across very well if written in English (but may come across extremely well in your native tongue)

That's not a criticism, it's just some constructive advice. Your English is many many times better than my non-English....

As an editor my advice would be to focus on characters first, plot second. If your characters are well-formed then they will do most of the work for you.

Good luck.

Difficult to tell from such a short synopsis, but it could turn out well. It's all in the execution.

Will there be any spiders in the story? I really like spiders in a novel.
In reply to Isa477:

> A mysterious portal opens

Four words, and I have already realised I'm not the target market for this.

Nevertheless, having briefly read on it sounds a little like a reworking of HG Wells' The Time Machine, approached from a different starting point. Not exact, but there are similarities


Good luck with it. Best not to share too many ideas, as someone else may write it first.

Nothing robotic about the spiderdog, obviously genetically modified.

Will there be a twist that will reveals sharks with frickin laser beams?
In reply to Isa477:

Maybe there has to be some romance like the researcher falls in love with a beautiful woman, but doesn't know she really is an android from a parallel universe who's been sent to assassinate him and make it look natural causes so the researches findings never come to light.

I established early on that there shall be no sexy sub-plots. It's a brave move by the OP. Sex sells. Everyone knows that.

It does have that feel to it, doesn't it...

In reply to Isa477:

I really like the plot , but feel it could be enhanced with maybe a character with really long wiggly arms who likes to touch people in sensitive places ?!

And what if he was to have an accident prone acquaintance ?

And a character who looks like Kelly Brook ? Plus another who looks like Dame Judy Dench , that could work do you think ?

Ah I see, no doubt with that view it's on it's way to getting a cult following.
