Hi there, I'm working on an original sci-fi story, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the ideas I'm thinking about, just to gauge interest levels.
Now, you've probably seen the X-Files, and I saw it as a kid, and the idea of a "Syndicate" really appealed to me. Xenophobic conspiracies? How could I not like it? Throw in a healthy dose of my addiction to Warhammer 40k, the seeds of an idea were sown.
Now, with the release of the new X-Files movie, I went back and dug out my old bullet points list of what I was thinking about writing. So what do you think?:
A shadowy organization, extremely xenophobic
In the past, members of the "Shadowy Organization" have involved the KKK, the Nazis, using their genophobia as tools. Basically, they get their grunts from them.
All governments are aware of them, but they are not recognized, and are privately funded by an unseen "Patron"
The goal of this "Shadowy Organization" is the execution of Aliens, and protecting Earth from xeno influences
The story would involve a homophobic complete ********, recruited as a soldier for the "Shadowy Organization". He makes his way up the ranks, and is indoctrinated through hypno therapy/captured alien technology/MacGuffin to reforge his hatred towards aliens.
The book would detail his encounters with aliens, who, for the first time since the beginning of the Second World war have begun to land in groups, seemingly confirming fears that Aliens are really invading
However based through previously mentioned but generally considered unimportant pro-xeno movements, a schism breaks through the "Shadowy Organization" as Aliens are revealed as simple refugees, peacful, etc.
The twist, "Or are they?"
Apart from a spell check, this is still unchanged from 2002 when I was ten! I've already seen alot I'd change and smooth out but I'd like some input from the other frequent members of this board.
