Title: The 9-Task Challenge
Genre: Dystopian/Science Fiction
Brief Summary: Olixen, a 14-year-old girl, accepts a challenge to complete 9 tasks in return for a generous reward.
Problem: I don't know if this is something that I should really get serious about writing, if it's a good idea, what should be improved, and if it's worth the time and effort to write it.
Here's a longer summary for those who are interested:
After World War 3, so many places were decimated by nuclear bombs and other wartime atrocities that everyone was forced into Europe, since it was the only country with livable conditions.
The government has very little time and money to focus on inner-city crime, as their job is to provide shelter, food, and jobs to everyone, since they are all now refugees. Not a single house remains untouched, and while the middle-class and peasantry has been forced to survive on the streets, stacking debris for shelters, the rich have profited off this and become millionaires, controlling virtually all of the town's currency.
Many of them also enjoy holding contests for the poor, promising great rewards for whoever is the victor of a brutal fight-to-the-death battle. These are rampant and legal, and there is oftentimes no better option for the starving people on the streets.
When Olixen sees a poster offering a grand reward and splendid living conditions if she can complete the 9-Task Challenge and defeat her other oppponents, she is immediately intrigued. Ensuring that her family will be safe in her absence, she packs her bags and leaves. It seems too good to be true, and Olixen has every confidence that she will get the reward and return proudly to her mother and brothers.
But will she survive the 9-Task Challenge?
Would this be a good storybook? A good novel idea? A good role-play? Talk to me here.
