[quote="Fez_Head"]I'm with Meesh on this one. I didn't get the feeling that all you were interested in was a genie's sexuality. There's nothing wrong with that. You're intrigued by it, which is totally cool with me. I've read a bit online about genies and how they were created, but I really like some of the ideas you have for your own fan theory. That is one thing I love about this fandom. There are so many things that make you go hmm. Meesh, I can totally believe that that you haven't read the Harry Potter books because neither have I. I know, blasphemous! :lol: I'm an English major who never read them. How do I sleep at night?! At least it's nice to know I'm not alone. :lol: I once saw that Gollem and Jinni book at Chapters (Canadian bookstore), but I didn't get it. It did look really cool. Maybe I can find it somewhere else? I would love to know how that author implements Arabic mythology into the text. Did that author write that Jinni wars book too or was that someone else? And yes, I completely agree with both of you. So many books to read, so little time.[/quote]

When I say that this thingy im making (it's a subtitled animatic) is personal, I don't mean it in that way at all. I'm working through some very key issues that I felt lent themselves well in helping to tell the story of the magical mass incarceration of an entire species of people through a Necronomicon, haha. Yup, a Necronomicon. It's mentioned in Q'uran. <br /> <br />Speaking of the Q'uran, it says that djinn, a species of demon, were created with a smokeless flame in the way that man is made from the earth.

And yeah, it might get a little dark at times, but it's mainly got a lot of humor and heart to it...or at least that's what I tried to do. :B <br /> <br />And I'm in no way taking from the Q'uran like its the end all be all here, I'm not at all a religious person. ^^ Like the guys on Aladdin in the late 80s, Ive taken inspiration from a ton of weird sources haha.
