Hornshire Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 The first step is putting pen to paper. The next steps involve a whole lot of rejection, so be ready for that.

This sounds rather interesting though. Would you care for any female perspectives? What year do you want the story to take place in? Do you want the invasion to happen during a world war? Give me some more details.

SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 The Coming By Joe Haldeman The year is 2054. World War III seems inevitable, the LGBTQ+ community faces unprecedented oppression, and Earth is in the throes of disastrous climate change. When astrophysicist professor Aurora Bell hears the message ‘we’re coming’ transmitted from deep space, the already chaotic remnants of society are sent into an uproar. Through the use of multiple points of view, The Coming offers a disconcertingly realistic portrait of how alien visitors might be received in a dystopian near future that's eerily reminiscent of our present.

If you're going to whine whenever someone calls it cliche, don't post about it online. D-Day was a huge impact on multiple continents, so this type of story has been done many, many times. I don't even read military fiction, but I've seen several plots identical to this. There's nothing wrong with throwing another one of these books out there, but if you don't want to hear these kind of comments, it's on you to research a way to write something that sticks out from all of those other books. A good way to see what readers are tired of or want to see more of is by lurking book discussion sites, specifically in topics about military scifi. 1
nameraka Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 write mine for me. i have an outline; i just don't have time. i've actually been working on the same short story for like 3 months. i'm not even half way done with the first draft.
