I've had this idea for an epic love story for a while and today at work I took advantage of hours of no customers to actually work on developing this idea a bit. It's a story inspired by the Flaming Lips album, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots." I know how I want to start it and I know of two ways I want to end it and I have some bits in the middle. I need some help from you lads to flesh out the story. Here's a synopsis I wrote earlier so you can get an idea for it:
"This is a tale of the conquering power of true love. The story revolves around Wally, a young man whose overactive imagination causes him to have powerful daydreams. He is in love with Yoshimi, his half-Japanese best friend and coincidental girl of his dreams. When Yoshimi falls deathly ill, Wally discovers that through his powers of imagination, he can enter into her unconscious mind to a world where Yoshimi's sickness is manifested in an invasion of deadly killer robots bent on destroying Y City (Yoshimi's body). With the help of a white blood cell also named Yoshimi, Wally must race against time to defeat this pink menace lest the evil robots win and wally loses the love of his life."
In case you missed it:
1)Wally=love-struck daydreamer
2)Yoshimi=hot Asian chick that is dying
3)Pink robots=metaphor for Yoshimi's illness
4)The battle= analogous to immune defense against foreign bodies
5)Winning the girl of his dreams by helping her fight a deadly illness with only his imagination=epic win

When I first saw the title I thought it was familiar, and now I know why lol.
Sounds like a cool story mang. Although it seems like this is similar to sass' play in terms of being based off of an album.

In a sense it's similar in that it draws from an album. However this album has little or nothing to do with the actual story I have in mind. I'm loosely drawing from a few songs and then adding mostly my own stuff. If I really think about it, the only two things from the album I use in the story is the name Yoshimi and the battling of pink robots.
