Sorry, ELUSIVE author....but the hideous majority of writers I've met are ALSO irritable, so it's a fair bet...
Anyway.
YES Parsons! Go for it sir!

RUN PARSONS RUN!


{TB EXCLUSIVE} Jim Parsons Boards Indie Pic “The Earth Was Blue”March 7, 2014
by Mac Maclamore

Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons is set to star in the upcoming indie dramedy THE EARTH WAS BLUE for producers Double Nickel Entertainment and BCDF Pictures. The film, which is eyeing a Summer 2014 start is now on the hunt for their female lead to star opposite Parsons. The story, which is pitched as a mix between dramedy and rom/com, centers on a disgraced reporter who attempts to win back the public by tracking down the illusive and anonymous author of a book that has changed the world. Based on that brief synopsis we’re assuming Parsons will play the illusive author.

BCDF, who previously released the Josh Radnor’s (How I Met You Mother) “Liberal Arts” and the VOD break out hit “Bacherlorette” have a solid development slate for 2014, with no less than 3 spec buys in 2013, and a mix of indies prepping for a start before years end.

Producers are still on the hunt for a female lead to pair with Parsons, as well as a director to bring to life the script written by Hal Masonberg and Teal Minton.

Parsons, who will next be see in “Wish I Was Here”, is repped by CAA and Gotham/Principal.

A bit of an explanation. Nora Glass is a character I created for my TBBT fan fiction. She plays the role of the friend that Penny and Sheldon don't currently have, someone supportive and caring with only a bit of an agenda. She's played a number of different parts in my fics but I enjoy writing her a great deal. And the folks who read my stuff seem to like her as well. She visited me this morning to help me out with a writing problem I've been having. This won't be posted anywhere else for now. It may appear as a bonus chapter to the story I reference. It may be a little bit self-indulgent to make myself a character but I figure if Grant Morrison can do it, so can I. And this is more a conversation than a story.

A Visit from Nora Glass

So I had an odd experience this morning. An original character that I created who appears in some of my Big Bang Theory fanfic came to visit me. And she wasn’t happy.

“Dude, we need to talk.”

“Okay.”

“First, thank you. You’re kind of my dad and I appreciate you giving me a chance to get up and walk around.”

“That’s nice. You know, I remember you when you were only a plot device, an exposition whore, so to speak.”

“Watch it.”

“Sorry. Go on.”

“Anyway, I like that you’ve given me a few different things to do. I like being a cop. I really liked being a stripper, especially because I got to hang around naked Penny a lot. I’m enjoying being a restaurant manager and bartender. And I’m looking forward to a stint as a PI that you’ve been hinting about.”

“I’m sensing that there’s a “but” in there somewhere.”

“There is. Let me get to it. First, thanks for Alex. I really like her. And also thanks for never, ever sticking me with that Amy chick. She’s kind of creepy.”

“You’re welcome.”

“And thanks for Raj and Sheldon too. And really, thank you for Penny. But that’s where one of my problems is.”

“Go on.”

“You said, in a couple of places, that Penny and me were hot and heavy at one point and then decided to be friends instead.”

“Yeah, that’s always been part of your back story.”

“Then why don’t I remember it? I mean the details. I know we were together.”

“I’ve never written about it.”

“A major event in our lives, and you know it had to be major, and you’ve never written it?”

“Well, it would need to be graphic and I’m not that comfortable with that.”

“Get over it.”

“Huh?”

“I said get over it. I want to fuck Penny.”

“Most everyone in this fandom wants to fuck Penny.”

“Yeah, but you said I did and I want the details. And those aren’t the only details I want.”

“What else?”

“In The Naked North Sea Ramifications you had me Sheldon and Penny naked in bed, Sheldon had an erection and you cut away.”

“I thought the mystery served the story better.”

“Mystery, shmystery, I wanted that three-way.”

“I want things too. That doesn’t mean I get to have them.”

“Yeah, except I’m a product of your imagination. I get to have whatever you want me to have. Cutting me off before the good stuff is just plain cruel. Besides, isn’t that what most people read fanfic for?”

“I admit that some do read it to see their beloved characters doing the deed.”

“Fucking. They read it for the fucking.”

“Not all of them. A lot of people just want to spend more time with characters they love and see them in unusual situations. And then there are those who just want the writers to regurgitate exactly what they see on TV and in the movies and other places.”

“Well, I want to get laid.”

“Nora, you probably get more than most of the other characters I write.”

“No, the way you write me I’m about to get more or I just had more. I want the damn more. And I’d really appreciate it if it’s with Penny. Though Alex would be okay too. Just no Amy. Not even watching. (shivers)”

“Fine. As soon as I can I’ll write When Penny Met Nora. Is that all?”

“Not really. I kind of wanted to help you with something.”

“I’m not sure you can. You’re imaginary.”

“Dude, most of the women you sleep with are imaginary. At least I actually like you. But that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about. I wanted to talk to you about The Slipped Conjugation, the fourth part of your tetralogy that you keep promising the readers but never deliver.”

“Yeah, I’m having a problem with it.”

“I know. I’m the problem.”

“You are? I thought you were doing pretty well. I mean, you’re kind of upset but I’m sure I’ll work it out.”

“Not as long as you keep trying to hook me up with a dude you won’t.”

“Nora, from the beginning I’ve always thought of you as bisexual.”

“And I keep telling you that I don’t like labels.”

“Okay. Explain it to me.”

“See, here’s the thing. Billy is a really nice guy. We enjoy each other’s company. I’m sure that when we have sex it’ll be pretty good. But we aren’t going to have a happily ever after.”

“Why not?”

“Okay. I like guys and I like girls and I’ll fuck whoever strikes my fancy no matter what kind of plumbing they have. And that will probably always be the case.”

“So?”

“I may fuck guys but I prefer girls. If I have a happily ever after it’ll be with a girl. You gave me that with Alex at least once. It worked, didn’t it?”

“Yeah. Even though the Alex character was kind of a cypher on the show, putting the two of you together works for me.”

“It works for me too. Though I’d really appreciate it if you made it a little more graphic. And I’m still really pissed off that three-way we had with Raj was off-camera (see The Non-Coincident Theorem).”

“We already talked about that.”

“So, do you understand what I want you to do to fix the damn story?”

“I’m not sure. I can’t figure out what you’re upset now. And you being upset is important to the story.”

“Well, how about if I’m confused. I have feelings for Billy but I also know that isn’t what will ultimately make me happy. And my two best friends, Penny and Sheldon, are becoming invested in making me and Billy work out. And I can’t figure out how to tell them that it won’t. And I don’t want Billy to make a life-changing decision, like moving to L.A., for something that probably isn’t going to happen. I do like the guy. And I’m kind of horny.”

“Nora, you’re pretty much always like that. That’s why the readers love you.”

“Yeah, I know that. But I’d still appreciate getting some.”

“I’ll work on it.”

“So do you understand what you need to do with the story. I don’t want you to throw it out. It has some really nice moments.”

“Yeah, I think I can fix it.”

“Okay, I prefer not to have to visit you like this again. Penny isn’t the only one who can go Nebraska on your ass.”

“You’re from Portland.”

“You get the message.”

"When Sheldon visits his Mom in Houston, he is forced to confront a new reality. Meanwhile, Raj's "Murder Mystery" party starts some fights within the gang."










I think Stuart might be metaphorically representative of something...
