on After a raid by a corrupt government leaves his partner dead, a desperate man uses gang controlled technology to escape his dystopian world to an alternate reality in a bid to replace a version of himself living an idealistic life.

Hmm, original I had something about losing his family in a raid, but was worried was over doing it. I also didn’t want this other version to be horrible. As I want this to be difficult, it’s either swap or…
on After being transplanted with the arm of a recently executed bandit, a shy and coward farmer must learn how to control his new body part and overcome his cowardice when a violent gang led by the bandit’s vicious brother threaten the town and the woman he loves.

Is the body part controlling him? Otherwise isnâ€™t he just going through rehab? So how does him having the arm make him the person to need to stop the gang
on In the depths of the depression, a small time con artist teams up with a seasoned pro to con $500,000 from a ruthless mobster to avenge the mobster’s murder of his mentor.

Only thing I am not sure of is what is the inciting incident is (Death of partner, offer to rob) Like Karel mentioned, I think putting the death up top provides motivation Also why does the pro want in? If…
on A struggling CIA consultant fights for survival after a secretive and morally corrupt government agency forces him to kill his team by overwriting his consciousness with that of an assassin's.

Great tip. I will look to rewrite to show how to illustrate that there is a temporary aspect. Yep, getting a few key memories to really give the antagonist the opportunity to know exactly where to strike the protagonist, what…
on A struggling CIA consultant fights for survival after a secretive and morally corrupt government agency forces him to kill his team by overwriting his consciousness with that of an assassin's.

The way I saw the process working is the victim's mind is downloaded into a virtual waiting room, while the Assassinis uploaded. The once the mission is complete the process is reversed. In this story there is a problem, meaning…
on A loving family man must go on the run after a powerful government program uses him as a proxy to commit murder. Now, in order to expose the truth, he'll have to reveal his own dark and secretive past.

That's great a really like this version.
on A wannabe weatherman gets an internship at a small t.v. station in suburban Ohio, but must fight his own tendencies of stability against the abnormal weather patterns that fame the state.

It might sound odd, but I would have his instability tied to the weather somehow, so in a strange way he is reporting on his on well being without knowing it.
on A loving family man must go on the run after a powerful government program uses him as a proxy to commit murder. Now, in order to expose the truth, he'll have to reveal his own dark and secretive past.

Thanks for your help, I will look to rework it. I guess I want to get across in my logline that he is framed as when he committed the murder he wasn't in control of his body at the time.…
on When an assassin, who can control the actions of others, discovers his recent missions were actually un-sanctioned hits, he must now hunt down his mysterious employers who have now made him their top target.

I've tossed up between the two, terms of time frame. The technology required seems to lean more towards something set in the future, but when I make notes, I tend to lean more towards a hidden technology in today's world,…
on When an assassin, who can control the actions of others, discovers his recent missions were actually un-sanctioned hits, he must now hunt down his mysterious employers who have now made him their top target.

Thanks for the info, it defo seems to share a lot of the same concepts. I would, hopefully, want to use some modern day themes of mass survalliance and living in a world where even the person themselves can be…
on When an assassin, who can control the actions of others, discovers his recent missions were actually un-sanctioned hits, he must now hunt down his mysterious employers who have now made him their top target.

In a sense. Except it has always been used as a means to perhaps destabilise a nation by having the Vice President shoot an extremist president, or make someone drive too fast so they die in a car crash. However,…
on When an assassin, who can control the actions of others, discovers his recent missions were actually un-sanctioned hits, he must now hunt down his mysterious employers who have now made him their top target.

Yeah, basically he works for a black-ops team who can 'hack' the brain and cause others take actions beyond their control, like killing. They can't control thoughts, merely action like they take over musicle stimulation. So he'd be on the…

Sorry I meant extraction. Hopefully that clears things up as well.
on When an assassin, who can control the actions of others, discovers his recent missions were actually un-sanctioned hits, he must now hunt down his mysterious employers who have now made him their top target.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess you could see this as the Internal and External plots. I will rework the logline, but the basic premise is: His team are sent in to capture someone they believe are selling secrets, during…
on A cop suffering from multiple personality disorder discovers a plan to detonate a dirty bomb in 2 hours, what he doesn’t know is: the perpetrator is his alternate persona.

Funnily enough I thought that, but sometimes you have to just get a bad idea out your head, so you can almost prove to yourself that it just isn't going to work. Only is rare circumstances it turns out the…
on When an alien invasion wipes out all of Earth?s superheroes, the planet?s most hated and feared Supervillain must make a stand, or be the invaders’ next target

Thanks. As you can probably see took a little bit to nail a short, succinct logline that covered the inciting incident, protagonist and illustrated the stakes. With Dpg's help, and now yours, I haved changed it to all, I think…
on A washed-up fighter pilot’s 20 year secret is out, now he must stop at nothing to prevent his past being used as provocation to slaughter the remains of humanity.

Yep, this is one that has had me stumped for a while. Story wise I pretty much know the details, but want to nail a killer logline for it. Basically: He is a former fighter pilot, now living, like the…
on When an alien invasion wipes out all of Earth?s superheroes, the planet?s most hated and feared Supervillain must make a stand, or be the invaders’ next target

Thanks for your all your help, very much appreciated. I think that it is defo a redemption type story, I want to explore his backstory and how he has always had good intentions, but as things just never seemed to…
on When an alien invasion wipes out all of Earth?s superheroes, the planet?s most hated and feared Supervillain must make a stand, or be the invaders’ next target

Good points. I guess it could be established that the 'Villains' only survived because they were contained , or imprisoned in a hidden or isolated area (Not Area51, but hidden) so the invaders were perhaps unaware of the their existence,…
on When an alien invasion wipes out all of Earth?s superheroes, the planet?s most hated and feared Supervillain must make a stand, or be the invaders’ next target

I guess that will be the deal he offers at the start, and something he has always wanted. However, I would feel he not want it by the end, he has changed. Throughout the story we will learn about him,…
