If you haven't done so, register your intellectual property with Writers Guild of America. They keep a certified copy of your script in storage, and this will protect you against theft. Hollywood is a whore : )

Funny thing that you mention that. In 2002, I conceived the idea of a geeky kid with glasses and a sarcastic attitude named Seth: a year later, Jared Hess made a film at BYU called "Peluca" about a geeky kid with a sarcastic attitude named Seth, eerily similar to my idea, though my character was a few years older. It was turned into "Napoleon Dynamite" a year later.
