Those are also a legal defence. Notice that there is not a single reference to Chloe in the Jo sheet. Nor to Rawiri in the Edgar sheet! 🤣 I invented those characters, and people identified with them. That's the genius of those sheets, and that's my recommendation to any budding screenwriters: the film crit book is ok, but it's sorta Hollywood -- I took my own approach after POAK with screenwriting, and attempted to make it more like poetry. - While with my Welly script, I would also clarify that Barbara wasn't mentioned in the Jade sheet, as she's far too old. I know that's rude, but yeah... it's a twentysomethings story. But yes, I name my composite influences fairly often, but sometimes it's subconscious and I'm working with archetypes rather than humans. I'll share them all, but yeah... I outgrew that story. That's how I feel about it.
