Fossils From My Fiction Files
Hey.
More "Dirty Laundry" but this time concepts that I didn't really put so much thought towards.
The Blitz: A variation on the old War of the Worlds theme but with the twist that the invaders are the descendants of humans who were enslaved by a starfaring exterrestrial race many hundreds of years past. The invaders refrain from using their more dangerous weapons because they want a liveable planet, and so a very long and in-your-face war ensues. Some nations on Earth take advantage of the chaos to settle old scores.
Endless Days, Endless Nights (E.D.E.N.): A science-fiction daytime drama concept...the first season would take place on a spaceship bringing settlers to a Martian colony, the second season would have them arriving and establishing their new lives.
The Four-Effs: A mecha genre story about a group of people, with the common thread that they were all rejected/excused from military service for one reason or another, now test crews for a mecha factory during a war. The war takes an ugly turn and now for the survival of the factory, they must become soldiers themselves--or die trying.
The Hero Hunters: (In a world where superheroes and supervillains do battle...) ...The Government has gotten so disgusted with the chaos that to restore order they have sanctioned a hit squad--with the purpose of liquidating villains and even superheroes who get in the way.
Marque Operatives: A story about a future sleuth and his team of assistants, including a former jock turned attorney, a disgraced war veteran, a techie inventor, a psychically gifted woman, and others.
Merlin: An American, descended from a Knight of the Round Table, visits England and finds himself swept into a search for Merlin the Magician--who is NOT dead!
Peace Dividend: The Stormbombers: An international squadron of scientists and expert aircrews find ways of attacking typhoons and hurricanes--in the hopes of reducing the storms' severity so lives can be saved.
Retrograde: A thirtysomething loser suddenly finds himself rejuvenated to teen age--and so he goes back to high school (under an assumed identity) to do things that he never thought to try when he was a teenager the first time.
Rumble Reserve: Members of street gangs from cities around the world are sent to a remote desert location--for the purpose of a no-holds-barred treasure hunt.
The Statistic: The story of a demon accountant. He leaves Hades in order to "audit" the souls of the wicked--and make the "books balance". I was going to push the envelope in the comics by having a central character who is never seen clearly until his last issue.
