I have week of free time ahead and I really want to expand the source material database (especially novel, since novel to movie is the most common form of adaption). However adding source material is pretty time consuming, mostly because I have to research all the novels I haven't read.
Below is a list of novels I would like to add to the database. Some of them are popular novels from the last couple of years, some are old classics. Is anyone familiar with any of them? If so, it would greatly speed up the process if you could supply me with the needed information. What would help the most are character lists (Name, Gender, Age, Main/Support/Minor/cameo/Voice-over) and topics/themes (If you have the editor you should already have a list of the topics already in the database, but don't be afraid to add something that isn't there yet).
Anyway... here is the list:
All the Light We Cannot See
Millennium Series
The Inheritance Cycle
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
The Goldfinch
Life of Pi
Dune
Atlas Shrugged
Black Beauty
Flowers in the Attic
The Eagle Has Landed
Me Before You
The Girl on the Train
The Fault in Our Stars
Gone Girl
Cloud Atlas
Divergent
Ready Player One
The Handmaid's Tale
Ender's Game
The Color Purple
Matilda
The Name of the Rose
Perfume
The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galacxy
The Clan of the Cave Bear
The Giver
Memoirs of a Geisha
Holes
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Angelas Ashes
Fight Club
Girl with a Pearl Earring
The Book Thief
The Time Travelers Wife
The Kite Runner
the Help
Water for Elephants
My Sisters Keeper
Atonement
The Host
City of Bones
Never Let Me Go
The Stand
The Shining
The Neverending Story
The Thorn Birds
Carrie
Sophies Choice
Go Ask Alice
Slaughterhouse-Five
One flew Over Cuckoos Nest
The Bell Jar
Catch-22
One Hudnred Years of Solitude
A Clockwork Orange
The Spy Who Came In from the Cold
Fahrenheit 451
East of Eden
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Doctor Zhivago
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Sun Also Rises
The Age of Innocence
Gone with the Wind
The Maltese Falcon
The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank)
The Stranger
Pippi Longstocking
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
A Room with a View
The Scarlet Pimpernel
The Secret Garden
Peter Pan
Great Expectations
The Mill on the Floss
Dracula
Heart of Darkness
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
The War of the Worlds
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Treasure Island
Heidi
The Prince and the Pauper
Pinocchio
David Copperfield
Nutcracker
Emma
Mansfield Park
Northanger Abbey
Persuasion
P.S. Any marvel/dc experts? I know shit about comic books, but superheroes are so, so popular they absolutely have to be in the database.

I would be willing to produce these lists for; Flowers in the Attic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fight Club, Peter Pan and Dracula. Should I post my research on this thread or send it to you directly?
Edit: I have just read the thread for the "Editor". I'll use that and send the file to you.
Second Edit: Um, the editor isn't working for me. I produced the "Flowers in the Attic" data and pressed "add" (and "save") but I can't find it anywhere.

Just in case, I already did and sent:
Millennium Series
The Inheritance Cycle
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
But feel free to edit it in the future release of the database in case you find some not accurate stats.

After pressing ADD button, you need to press RELOAD DATABASE button. Everything should appear. |

Both is fine. Merging the databases and transferring the data myself takes about the same time. Hold back on the editor though. There might be some bugs that need fixing.

Can I delete anything from the editor? I accidentally added two to the same movie. Also, how can I add a poster for a movie that I made?

Will the TV update come with more franchises and more talents (actors/directors)? Also if ever you need more sources, I don’t have much but I’d be happy to create a few cult 90s tv series (Buffy, Charmed, etc) or cult horror franchises (Scream, I know what you did last summer, Urban Legends) and send the files to you  |

I've used the Marvel and DC wiki's (But I've actually gone in and read a few of the comics too) and listed down the characters, plot description, title and themes in a really simple but effective word doc. |

How can i make and send to admin? (to help) since you don't know much about superheroes (Marvel/DC) You could do what I do, read or briefly go over the comic and jot down the most necessary details into WordPad, Google Docs or some other basic word processor. I'll show you an example of how I do it, that at least for me, makes it pretty easy to enter into the database.
Example: Image Comic's "After the Cape"
After the Cape
Description:
'HOW FAR TO FALL' Ethan Falls was once a respected superhero - until his drinking got the better of him. Now he finds he is unable to provide for his young family, and his own sense of failure starts to beckon him towards easy money...and a life of crime!
Time Period: Modern Day
Location: City?
Rating: R
Genre: Action, Adventure, Superheroes, Alcholism, Crime
Characters -
Main - Ethan Falls/Captain Gravity - 40 M
Supporting - Ellen Falls - 36 F
Steven Shadow/Shadow Stalker - 34 M
Minor - Michaels Falls - 12 M
Cassidy Falls - 8 F
Yip Loch - 50 F
Olson Orwell/Cyber Fire - 36 M
Paladin - 45 M
Lady Machine - 38 F
Cameo -
It looks a lot better in WordPad haha. That's how I've been doing it and it's made it pretty easy for me to enter comics/movies/shows into the database. Hope this helps.
