Alters screenplay

[dianneordi.livejournal.com]

I don't have MPD / DID, but I've had two close friends with DID and have known several others.

I'm currently working on a screenplay which I'm hoping will cast multiplicity in a favorable light, and would love to get some input.

The log line: A college student with multiple personalities must make a choice between the boy she loves and the alters who've kept her safe since childhood.

Although there's no explicit sex or violence, I've tried to be very straightforward, so there may be some triggers.

The screenplay can be downloaded it at www.fileden.com/files/2006/11/5/350846/Alters.pdf

Comments can be directed to dianneordi at excite dot com. Use "Alters" as the subject.

Thank you!
Dianne.

Both my friends talked about their headmates being dormant -- they didn't integrate, they just weren't around (or at least, they weren't aware of them being around).

Oh, that, yes. That's what the doctors mean when they say "integration," most of the time, except they don't know that, because the ones who make a living on this subject haven't been, historically, very good doctors. I've done it, once when Rob was sick. I found it extremely unpleasant.
