[edit] "Furman-isms"

As it stands this is WP:OR and I can't see how one would find WP:RS unless it is in some extra in a graphic novel. There is a lot of fan speculation on it (as the intro acknowledges: "Long-time readers of Furman's work have noticed several recurring dialogue and action clichés, referred to as 'Furman-isms.'") [1] [2]. I'm not sure if this would count [3] although it does use reference the original sources. Still tricky and would need a trim. Any suggestions? (Emperor 02:26, 28 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] "Writing from"

Needs updated 'Writing from 1984', and perhaps linked in with the Wikipedia page on Scream.
