[b]IntChk: "Too Many Humans"[/b]

When an advanced alien race arrives in orbit above Earth, they make their opinions about the precious planet's problems very clear: too many Humans.

They set about dramatically reducing Earth's population and that population's use of resources and production of waste.

How you ask...?  A number of ways, about which you and I will write.

[b]Desired Writers:[/b]
[list]
[*]Looking for 2-5 writers for 1-3 characters each.
[*]Characters can be anything from an Average Joe (or Jo) on the street to a nation's President or most senior General.
[*]This isn't a story about power plays or making the greatest worldwide impact, etc., etc.  It's about writing an interesting story from the point of view of your character, be he/she a nobody or a somebody.
[/list]
[b]Reply length should be as follows:[/b]
[list]
[*]Looking for a couple of decent paragraphs if your character [i]isn't[/i] interacting directly with another character at that point.
[*]Looking for enough to move the scene along if your character [i]is[/i] interacting directly with another character.
[*]What I'm trying to say is please don't post one and two liners unless it is all that's necessary to move the scene along.
[*]I'm not looking for novellas in every post!  I'm also not looking for 10 words.
[/list]
[b]Grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks: mandatory.  Enough said on that.[/b]

[b]Plots[/b]
[list]
[*]The over all story line has a specific direction: the eradication of much of Earth's Human population by the aliens.
[*]However, how that happens [i]and[/i] how Humans react to it are both relatively open...
[*]...[i]so long as[/i] you do not tromp on the story line of other writers.
[*]Please present your basic story concept to the Hostess -- that's me -- for my review before you begin it.
[*]No one wants half a dozen writers to be working on their story lines only to have a single writer to claim that he/she is going to nuke the world or has a telepathically spread virus that will kill all of the aliens.  NO power plays.
[*]I don't subscribe to the idea of [i]It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.[/i]
[/list]
[b]Finding a writing partner:[/b]
[list]
[*]If you have a writing partner for a plot idea, wonderful.
[*]If not, I will offer myself [i]up to[/i] a certain number of characters.
[*]I don't want to overextend myself, but I also know that if I am writing with you, you won't have to worry about your partner disappearing on you.
[/list]
[b]On that note, about me:[/b]
[list]
[*]I was here for a while some time back, but my chief writing partner got sick and left.
[*]I'm back again because he's going to return soon, so he says, which is exciting for me.
[*]I tell you this in case you are wondering why I started, stopped, and started again.
[*]I'm here to stay this time.
