THE STARTER: What sub-plots are you looking for? FDO™ wants to know

Junkies, if you're reading this, it's because you're in deep here at scottsigler.com. You are the die-hards, the regulars. I'm working on THE STARTER as we speak, and I want to know what story elements you want to see.

Of course Quentin will continue looking for his family. That's a given. But what other sub-plots caught your interest? For example: 

  • What will happen with Quentin spurning the offer of the Jupiter Jacks? 
  • Is Yassoud's gambling habit going to cause issues?
  • Will Gredok punish Quentin for the human's insubordination? 
Here's your spot to wonder aloud. No plot point is too small to discuss here.

He's one of my favorite characters in The Rookie. I'm excited to hear more on him!

Interspecific Siglerotica? I'll come back to to this when I can calm my laughter. Interspecific Siglerotica. That was awesome.

Look, love the action- I'm a diehard football fan.  But I'm such a diehard I've gotten to the point where I'm loving the history of today's game (who was th big deal in college in this period, or NLF in that period)- well for me I want to learn about the beginnings of how this league came together- yes you started it in The Rookie- but I mean who is the GFL's version of the inventor of the Rooney Rule so to speak (some one had to break off from the purists).  Their Bud Adams and Lamar Hunt? Their Tony Dungy? This may not thrill everyone, but it will build a more in-depth universe.

Is handling "defectors" of a sort. Like here in the US, we have lots of Cuban players who defect to the US to play baseball. There may be some really talented players of some of the subjugated races that are, perhaps, hiding out on Quyth irradiated worlds, but want to play on teams. Fugitives, as it were.

Or what about Galactic Olympics? Maybe there are some GFL players who want to compete in the Galactic Olympics, and have trouble getting out of contracts or finding sponsorship or some such silly nonsense. Can you imagine the Heavy-G clean-and-jerk? The sklorno high-jump?

I also thought it would be interesting if there a heavy-G woman that played for the Krakens who got a crush on Quentin (so to speak). Someone he couldn't get away from.

This is fun!

What if one of the players finds the stress of Tier 1 too much to handle and either seriously considers some sort of body mod (as in, is maybe caught looking at body mod information or is seen by teammates right before they plan on getting a body mod or something similar) or actually does get a body mod?

How would you like to see a history of GFL champions, in an insert that shows a one-page profile of all 22 Tier One franchises?

Maybe some of the high ranking official are visiting one of the luxury boxes or an owner's box.

Re: THE STARTER: What sub-plots are you looking for? FDO™ wants to know

I just want to know what they did with cloning in the future, because I desperately want to see a glimpse of a Perry Dawsey clone giving Q a big hit.

Any chance of some battles going on in the universe at the same time and some tension between the fans of the home planets and specific players due to race?  I am thinking some hockey level fan participation!

I know you don't want to get into the erotica but a passing reference to Warburg getting some alien tail and having to sit out a game while the anibiotics do their work might be fun! :) 

Just do what you do and it will be great!

Re: THE STARTER: What sub-plots are you looking for? FDO™ wants to know

but I agree that QB should be getting some tail!  A little sex never hurt anybody, right?!?!?!

WallyJJ, I'm sorry to inform you that in the Siglerverse, Dead = Dead. We will not be seeing a certain former linebacker from the University of Michigan. And if you saw his "clone," it would be a completely different person -- this isn't Aliens 4 where a drop of blood somehow recreates a person complete with memories and a parasite that was in the person's chest.

However, Warburg having to get a shot in the ding-ding? Priceless.

Re: THE STARTER: What sub-plots are you looking for? FDO™ wants to know
that would be most excellent

i'm down with the hockey fan mentality, but maybe even carry it further and bring in some 'hooliganism'

some reckless behavior never hurts anyone  :-)...although if it did that would be interesting too

Dead=Dead, except in Title Fight. Wink But I will accept Nuked=Dead.

Quentin makes millions, the other guys make even more, (especially with what they can carry in their backpacks), but the only thing we ever see them buy is beer.  Oh, got it. What else is there?

There were some species mentioned in the rookie, such as the Wittauch, Liki and dolphins that were never even described, much less playing a part in the series. I'd like to see some more of them. Maybe some giver references as well.

And hightlight reel plays from each of the teams' histories... a la Franco Harris and the "Immaculate Reception" of.. well I can't think of one for the GD Detroit Lions, sorry.

was getting interested in the blue chicks in the last book... c'mon --just a little of the nasty. Maybe the decendant of Pookie Chang could elaborate on the 27th century version of the Chang Bang. Do they still have Hula Hoops?

Just like on ESPN. It would work itself nicely into an episode of its own, Preseason show to highlight rookies and vet players, An episode 1/3 way through the season to recap and look at whos on top and who needs to make big changes. 2/3 of the way through whos in the playoffs and who can still make it. And the big game show of the matchup. Perfcect place to add team history into the mix, and the politics that float around the GFL.

 

I would like to see more of Tweedy and his temper, I think it could work with Yassoud's gambling problem and Quentin finding himself Star and a known name around the Galaxy.
