IntChk: "Too Many Humans"
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.
Desired Writers:

Desired Writers:
- 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.
Reply length should be as follows:
- Looking for a couple of decent paragraphs if your character isn't interacting directly with another character at that point.
- Looking for enough to move the scene along if your character is 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.
Grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks: mandatory. Enough said on that.
Plots
- 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 and how Humans react to it are both relatively open...
- ...so long as 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 It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.
Finding a writing partner:
- If you have a writing partner for a plot idea, wonderful.
- If not, I will offer myself up to 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.
On that note, about me:
- 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.
