WRITERS' CORNER discussion

Come up with the name and description of a sequel for a book with this description:
(view spoiler)[ Riding the Ruby Ocean by Zombie S. A. Hunter.
My name is Amelia Van Dyke. I live in Tacoma, Washington, I write short stories for fun and I just found out I'm an alien.
Amelia is abducted in the middle of the night by little silver-clad beings who call themselves 'The Nowheres'. They also claim to be her true family.
They reveal to Amelia that Earth has been a test. And we failed.
Amelia has to convince The Nowheres that Earth is a beautiful, divine place. But, in a world of poverty, greed, corruption and sorrow, that's proving pretty hard to do. (hide spoiler)]

Contest ends Feb. 2.

Participating:
Me
TMEB
Travis
Emmeline

I'm in

As my 3-year-old daughter would say "I'm on the case!"

Here's my version of the second book...

(view spoiler)[Running the Silver and Blue Gauntlet

“Even heaven and hell have a place in this universe… we… we have nothing.”

After the explosion that obliterated the Earth, Amelia Van Dyke finds herself divided in loyalties. The High Antediluvians, rulers of The Nowheres, destroyed her home planet. The remaining Earthlings on Space Station Lincoln are hell-bent on revenge against the alien race. Amelia battles against time to save her alien family and her Earth family from the outbreak of war. With her long lost alien sisters, Tolirás and Paloma, and her Earth brother, Johan, Amelia sets out to find a new place for the Earthlings to settle, but are the High Antediluvians already planning a second mission: To eradicate all Earthlings?

Thanks, but now you'll have to write it ;)

I'm really not good at Sci-Fi type genres, but I figured I might as well give it a shot.

Searching the Cosmos

My name is Amelia van Dyke and I'm a Defender

After finding out she's a Nowhere, Amelia's results in defending Earth are pointless. Fortunately, the Nowheres aren't interested in tests anymore, they want something much more entertaining. A game. If the Nowheres win, Earth is destroyed. If Earth wins, the Nowheres leave Earth alone.

Amelia, is voted as the team captain of Earth's team, but she's up against Zardox, the Nowheres game champ, whose as fierce as he is an experienced contestant. This is no game. It's life and death. (hide spoiler)]

Ooooooh. I like it.

After reading Travis's it occurred to me that you could probably do a trilogy with our two ideas. XD

Sure. XD

Mine:
(view spoiler)[
The Big Blue Wrecking-ball
Five years after the devastation that blew the planet known as Earth to crumbling rubble, a now twenty-year-old Amelia Van Dyke has spent the years following the explosion wandering the Cosmos in a stolen escape pod belonging to The Nowheres.
Still ashamed of herself for being unable to save the planet she grew up on, Amelia tries desperately to make up for her foolishness by righting wrongs across the galaxy.
But, while seated in a diner on Mars, Amelia receives a transmission.
"Amelia... Honey? Amelia, it's Mom. Sweetie, we're okay. Don't worry about- No. No, please, not- Ahhhh!
Finding out that her human family is alive somewhere on Nowhere, Amelia hesitantly but determinedly goes back to the beings that ruined her life, in hopes of recovering some sense of normalcy after her own people destroyed her world. (hide spoiler)]

Wow! I really like that one Z!

Thanks. :) I really liked your a lot.

You would have to do yours first and then have the Nowheres win, so Earth is destroyed. It'd work really well like that :)

This sounds good. You could explore Amelia's origins with this sequel.

Thank you. :)

Sorry I'm late, but I figured I'd participate anyways

Mine: (view spoiler)[Across The Pale Blue Sky

With the battle for earth fast approaching, Amelia and Darren prepare for the the worst. Only a well thought out plan and a carefully selected team stand between earth and the Nowheres. But with the knowledge of her and Darrens true identity will this new team ever truly accept them. Join Amelia and Darren as they return to attempt their greatest challenge yet. Stealing earth back from the nowheres. (hide spoiler)]
