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.

That would definitely be an interesting flashback/explanation to get to hear/read!

What would happen if, when Quentin finds out about his parents, he discovers he has another sibling that was born after he and his parents were separated?

That is a book 5 or 6 shocker - not book 2.  Scott has to take the long view.  [-Seth Hanisek, Fullback, Woo Wallcrawlers (#152, p171 bitches!)]

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

That's true.  There are seven more books in the series with plenty of room for exploration.  Dare we explore the possibilities?

Book 2 first tier one season, Krakens loose in the first round of playoffs

Book 3 Tweedy goes free agent and lead opposing team to victory over the Krakens in the Galaxy Bowl

Book 4 Krakens finally win Galaxy Bowl

Book 5 long lost sister is found and is a high ranking purist

Book 6 Quentin takes over as coach after a devastating injury ends his playing days

Book 7 descendants of Ancestor monsters that had excaped to the Ki homeworld through a triangle build wormhole gate show up and eat everybody

The more I read and re-read the rookie the more I'm convinced that Ju tweedy should join the Krakens organization. ::spoiler:: With fayed's death against the Quyth survivors and Paul pierson's impromptu leg amputation by yallo the biter, the Krakens are down to only yassoud for a running back. Gettting Ju on the team would be a logical move AND would create interesting conflict with his brother John. I know I would be interested to find out the issues the Tweedy brothers have with eachother.

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

I just recently did a Siglerpedia Article on Yassoud, and I realize, he didn't get much playing time.  Maybe there's a story regarding him taking on the role of 'starter' as well?

You could do a sub-plot on some new doping technique that gets by the scanners.  Suddenly everyone is questioning who is doping and who is not.  It would have to be something they couldn't test for, so there is uncertainty if a person is using it, but there must be some kind of evidence that the method exists.  Lots of speculation.  And if it was developed in the Purist Nation... everyone will wonder if Quentin was part of this new doping scheme.

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

And excellent idea. Even a sibling born before they got separated, but too young for him to remember would be an awesome surprise. And by awesome, I mean awesome for the readers, at least. :P

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

That I think I've seen a few times, and like every time. But I'm wondering if Gredok/Hokar (don't have my book, so I can't check the spelling right now, so I hope it's right) would be willing to disrupt the team like that. I think they both realize it's important to have some sort of team dynamic. Of course, they're both really focused on winning and Ju is a great player, so, who knows?

Wouldn't it be interesting to see what happens when a hit is not ruled as a clean hit? There's a lot that could happen with that. Didn't I just read something on the wiki about someone who was banned from Tier 1 because of too many deaths? I think that'd be kinda neat to explore.

Killed someone not on a "Clean Hit" in "the rookie".  He was suspended for 2 games.

If it's not too late to send in requests, I would like to add that I would be a little disapointed if The Front Right Tooth of Quentin didn't make an appearence.

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

I'd like to see a ship that fails to punch out (in?) properly. It's definitely a deep fear of Quentin's so there must be some justification for it, right? I think it'd be neat to have him be affected by his worst fears turned reality.

I like the way your mind works. That'd be awesome to see. :D

For someone with a slight case of claustrophobia, I imagine that QB will not be getting used to the punch out anytime soon.

Why yes, apples. How did you know? [flickr-photo:id=4347154616] Pusher and member of the Gutter Sistren

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

I'd either like to see evidence of a punch drive failure, or, since the stakes are REALLY high in Tier 1, attempts to take out a team using military might.  Hey, the team bus is armed... so there should be a reason to USE those armaments, right?

Another interesting twist would be non-sklorno females playing Tier 1 ball.
