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.

 You cover how the Creterakians scan for body-mods at the Combine as rookies come into the league. What about players who are tempted to get mods after they're already there?

Say to keep their speed or enhance their strength? Easy parallel to modern day steroid usage.

I think the Krakens need to bring in a Bill Parcels type to bring up their level of play.  Of course he's a serial killer too!

I second the Warburg action. I can't believe I almost forgot about him!

I remember wanting to know more about them from the first book. I second this idea, too.

oddly enough, is a Human/Dolphin team? Not sure quite how to interpret the GFL website description. But I'm sure we'll get more info on that!

I'd really like to see Quentin have dinner with the ki. Or perhaps have him end up at one of the skalorno prayer meetings. Okay, so the prayer meeting might not happen, but I'd still like him to associate with some of the ki and skalorno players on a more personal level. In the Rookie, he mostly talks to humans or the quyth.

It was more like an Illusion of death = death. It was a ruse to fool the officials into thinking the Heretic was actually dead by placing him in a death like coma.

Re: THE STARTER: What sub-plots are you looking for? FDO™ wants to know
hey this is cool asking US about ideas so anyways i was thinking.....maybe more about space pirates like the touchback gets jacked and quentin sees his first mini space battle also like more background stuff of his teammates and coach that would be cool.

I would also be down for seeing what the GFL trophy looks like or possibly a collection of previous Galaxy Bowl championship rings. (I’m into that sorta thing).

I would definitely want to see more of the various criminal syndicates surrounding the GFL.  Perhaps even underground football games, where the players have illicit body modifications.

 I don't know if anyone else asked this, But I for one would love to see how Quentin's interaction with the Ki members on the team will take shape in the STARTER. Will Quentin learn to speak Ki? Will he dine with them? Some interesting posibilities.

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

As an Earthbound human, you see the word 'dolphin' and can only think of what you know of the dolphins on this planet. Imagine a world where dolphin-like beings (dolphinoids) evolved in a much different way. Think of true amphibian dolphins. The speed, grace and power like earth dolphins, but with arms and legs.That, my friend, would make a simply amazing race of backs to have to contend with, both on offense and defense.

Just me thinking sideways.

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

Good idea! Q having to force some blood down his throat or something? I definitely want to hear about that when it happens. If I recall correctly, he never forced any of the other species' food down his throat in The Rookie, so it'd be interesting to see him squirm with the ki.

Of all the alien races mentioned in The Rookie, the one I've always been most intrigued about is the Dolphins.  I can't wait to learn more about them!

Some Rookie nookie or some sklorno porno.  I also reckon it would be good to have some kind of out of game brawl between the krackens and the wolfpack.

I would like to see more of how the Purist Nation is exposied as the racist nation that it is. Leading Quintien to become THE national Hero that he will become with the Krakens. Ahh, Fuck, Scott, just write a real good story.
