Hey everyone, I'm new to this guild. Anyway, to start off my new career here, I'd like to hear some advice/opinions about a story I'm planning. I don't know how big project this is, but the story could very well turn into a future novel of mine. Anyway, here's the basic storyline:

Quote:
There's a guy named Andrew who's 26 years old and sick and tired of life. He has no girlfriend, no money, no job or anything. He only has his family, which he loathes. Anyway, his father dies suddenly of a heart attack. Andrew has to meet his whole family and relatives for the funeral. At the funeral all relatives as well as his family starts discussing what a failure Andrew is, and that's what makes Andrew snap. He jumps up on a table, screaming his frustration out at his relatives, ending with the phrase "...and if I could, I'd leave this place and NEVER come back!". This, of course, is the turnpoint of the story.

Andrew wakes up as from a bad dream in a egg-like slimy, green chamber. He hears the words "he's awake!" outside. He has waken up at an alien research center and finds out he's the last survivor of a savage human tribe they found. The aliens were surprised that he had learned their language so easily (english is an alien language). They had found him and drugged him down. All those 26 years had just been a long dream. They tell him that he really hadn't been asleep for more then a week. Now he has to live on this research center and try to adjust himself to the new environment, learn about how the REAL humans behave (he's an exception) and slowly regain the memories of how he lived before he was captured.



Does this sound like a cool idea? Any suggestions that could improve the story somehow? Do you think this story could turn into something interesting?

((Sorry about the über-multi post...))

I can seriously see that idea becoming a popular novel.

Please write it, so I may read it! 3nodding

Hmmm... the beginning of it sounds like one of those over-used ideas, but how you work with the rest of the story sounds pretty damn interesting. Post it sometime.

Thank you for your comments, they're greatly appreciated biggrin . However, since I'm Swedish, the story will probably be written in Swedish. Probably. I'm not sure yet. I might post it here in the future, but it won't be in the near future, probably.

And thank you for you comments, once again 3nodding
