Need a proofer, soon · 6:41am Apr 7th, 2019
I'm going to try and jump-start my creativity with a fresh project, a Zootopia neo-noir/modern noir story based around drugs and the associated criminality and misery (appropriate, given the movie.) There won't be much on-screen violence. Implied deaths, off screen death, maybe some assaults and softer deaths. No gore and bloody pulp is what I mean. It's not hard mature, more medium mature. Expect a lot of music references, I plan to make a lot of nods toward swing and rockabilly.
Oh hey, here’s a name I haven’t seen in a while. I don’t usually do editing/proofing, but this sounds like a fun project and I like Zootopia and I like music, so put me down as a strong maybe.
Sounds good! Any romance planned with Judy and Nick?

Well... that's the thing. There is, but this is a noir story about police corruption. Judy doesn't intend to be part of it, but is.

Excellent.
I find making references to music or old literature can say a lot without having to spell everything out. Like someone smiling as they lead a bad guy into a catacomb saying there surely is a cask of amontillado in there. You know what's up. Likewise, by not explicitly talking about music but using titles and lyrics in certain places produces a "soundtrack" for a location. In the city, all swing. When Nick's in Bunnyburrow, it's rockabilly and bluegrass.

Okay. Just curious.
