Yall. I gotta tell you about my extra novel project I’ve been working on. I think I’ve talked about it a little bit, but because I’m doing a writing challenge this month I’ve been working on it a lot more. it’s called ‘trade you for hope’ (Working title, I’ve considered ‘prisoner’s planet’ too) I don’t think I’ve talked about it a lot, so here’s the basic premis.
Ok so you have a universe with a binary star system (too stars, imagine if we had two suns) they have planets, each ruled by different people groups. Each planet contains different creatures, some human others not. Each planet has roughly 8 different emotions locked in it’s core. It’s even and balanced, until one planet decides to change that. During a time of war, this planet wants to give their people a moral boost… so they develop the technology to unlock the emotions. They unlock a nearby mostly unoccupied planet, and removes hope in its tangible form, then give it to there people. This planet is hopeless, and therefore pretty useless because nobody can survive long without hope. Planets over time agree that this can be used as a kind of communal dumping ground for the unwanted… assassins who have been caught, war criminals, those who have broken the law in an extreme way… it’s considered a death sentence, but everybody there got there through different means. A small bottle of hope is given to each person when they are cast there, to be rationed ass pleases. It’s general knowledge people won’t survive much longer after it runs out.
Then the characters:
Flax: Flax is from a nation of winged people. He became sick when he was young, and lost his feathers. His mom tried to hide it for a long time, but people found out. In order to protect the nation from the disease, he was sent as a sort of… quarantine? π€¨ anyways, he has almost a full bottle of hope left, but nearly dies because of his refusal to drink it. He wanted to save it all, it’s his most prized possession.
Mel: Mel his been wandering for as long as she can remember. She has run out of hope and doesn’t have much time left. Because of her lack of hope, she can’t remember her past or why she ended up here.
Feramiah: Feramiah is a knight from another planet. He was the princesses gaurd, but fell in love with her. They got married, although she was arranged to be married to the king of another nation. The alliance fell through, and both were sent away. He doesn’t know where she is now, and has hardly any hope left. He still clings to his past as a knight as a sort of identity, even when there isn’t anyone to guard.
Dr. Emmaline: Emmaline has always wanted to be the best of the best. She didn’t become a doctor to help others, but because of the notoriety. As she rose th ranks in her nation, she became thee top doctor in the nation, tending to their dictator. As war broke out, he became suspicious of her as a spy. She was cast out, however she retains the same mindset as before. She wants to be at the top, and needs to prolong her survival. Having the most hope is her greatest desire. Her skills as a doctor help her trade for hope, others on the planet desperately need her.
Ok and I’m going to spoil the plot twist, she gets a hold of fear and starts using it for her benefit against others. I may redeem her?
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
July 17, 2023 at 12:00 pm #151177Oooh this sounds really cool!! I love sci-fi and stuff like this π So what’s the plot going to be like?

@mineralizedwritings OOOOHHHH, this sounds really interesting!!!!! ππ
and the plot twist…love it…πβ¨β¨β¨
July 17, 2023 at 12:34 pm #151184Thanks! I’m still trying to figure out plot… but basically Mel’s plot is realizing she is worth it. The overall plot is realizing emotions aren’t what keep them afloat, even if they seem like it. For instance, even in a room full of liquid fear, there should be a way to realize it’s all false fear and none of it is real. The kind of breakthrough moment for the characters is when they discover this, that they don’t need emotions to live. They can love one another without having obtained love, and can find hope in their friendships. I’m still working on how it all comes about π
@freedomwriter76
Thank you girl!
So glad you like the plot twist… I was so excited when I came up with it XD. Because y’know it kinda reflects irl… people in our world use fear to control others.

July 17, 2023 at 12:43 pm #151189Oooohhh… the more I hear about this the better it sounds π π Really cool theme idea, I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything like it! (Which is a good thing, it’s hard to come up with new theme ideas xD)
And yess, that’s really cool π
