    This is a summary of the science fiction novel called "Vessels of Sin" which later becomes a movie and a video game.

    The giant squid known as Unas creates the universe. Then, since the other great force in the universe called Sokar wishes to nullify everything, Unas creates sentient life autotrophically to consume in order to battle Sokar. Sokar, realizing this, sends 7 giant robots or 'Vessels' to earth for humans to discover. These robots will attempt to convince their pilots to destroy Unas and bring nullification to all. The novel is about the struggle between the human pilots and their vessels.

    This novel will have its own Facebook page and blog which will link to movie trailers and video game demo pages.

  2. The story is about a girl who is new to a high school and each episode would be her joining all the different cliques. Each clique will have a different music soundtrack to describe their personalities and who they are as a group. The facebook page would include a discussion board to post favorite quotes, characters, quizzes, polls to see what character you would be like, and a gallery. The blog would include interviews from behind the scenes of the cast and a gag reel.

  3. The End of Facebook: Zombie Apocalypse

    Story line: One could say that it is the end of the world when Facebook is shutdown; Everyone acts like zombies when Facebook comes to an end due to a virus on the computer base that now runs everything web based. The non-facebook users are the only people who are capable of living a normal life, and must fight against the zombies. Now it’s up to the hero, Mark Kent, and our non-Facebook friends to get Facebook back up and running, or at least society. Is it possible for society to continue though when there are zombies on the loose? Can society only continue if the zombies take over?

    What led to the downfall of Facebook? A virus. All Facebook users have the virus as well which is why they turned into zombies.

    How to get Facebook back up and running? Kill all the non-Facebook users. Fix the one computer base which runs everything web based. The villains take over this movie; there is no happy ending for the people who lived without Facebook.

    Book: We plan on developing a book called, “The End of Facebook: Zombie Apocalypse.” This book will be the print version of the movie. The book will be around three hundred and thirty pages.

    Game: We also plan on developing a game called, “The End of Facebook: Zombie Apocalypse.” One can choose to be a Facebook user or non-Facebook user in the game. The Facebook users have turned into zombies because of the shutdown of Facebook. In order to get the zombies back to normal, the non-Facebook users must die so the computer base can be fixed. Or, one could destroy all the zombies so society can live without Facebook.
