This post was thumped by the Eldritch Flyswatter of Horror

"People try to survive in a city atacked by insectoid aliens, also: giant robot"

comic book I just finished writing.

Lights of Earth - The scum of humanity try to undertake a revolution against the aliens who saved them while a race of Starfish Aliens tries to advance its position.

My unnamed fantasy - A survivor hiding behind her duty and a delusional assassin from a failed team that was supposed to protect the world are swept along by a spirit war.

Three stories

The first is the the one that's written, and being rewritten

A group of pilots are assigned to a recently opend station and find themselves fighting for survival against two groups, The Rebellion and a mysterious new organization. -Shadowfire

Two as yet unwritten ideas that I intend to run with

A former slave turned hunter of slave owners meets a Physical God and ends up fighting in her cosmic war, which becomes intertwined with the slave wars, and may be becoming a physical god herself. (Easily the darkest of the three)

A young man is recruited into a secret organization of mind readers, and finds himself hunted by an organization dedicated to the eradication of mind-reading technology and those who use it.

Extractor: A city is plagued by a virus that steals people's memory or worse, body and a man comes to irradicate the virus and give immunity to people and soon police forces made of superpowered criminals are called to investigate the cause.

Pillars: In a domed world where everyone is forced to wear a mask to not to get cursed, a boy who survived a dragon attack get set free from the masks and goes out to hunt the said dragon that terrorizes the world.

Phoenix: A man sets out to find the phoenix.

The Sword and Sheild: A half-elf comes of age, hopefully without killing himself or anyone else as a consequence.

^^ I love your title.

Thanks! >^^<

Draconiansuperior: How are the dinosaurs in disguise? Is this like Thelonious Rex?

Whew, made it in three lines.

"A very divided humanity faces the existential threat of a galactic-scale Bug War: The human factions face a total We ARE Struggling Together scenario that's almost certainly going to get us extinct. A Mildly Military Ragtag Bunch of Misfits must, against all odds, try to turn the human civil war situation into a much more reasonable (and survivable) Hanging Separately: Assassinations, terrorist attacks, blackmail, lots of violence and general mayhem ensue."

The summary sounds an awful lot like the universe the Ender's Game books take place in. What about subverting that a little? Perhaps an alien threat does NOT unite the Earth? Some countries try to ally themselves with the aliens against the neighbors. Some ignore the aliens and continue to fight their more immediate enemies on Earth. Maybe a world-government does emerge, but it uses the alien threat as an excuse to take over. And is royally pissed when it turns out the aliens are friendly. :)

I have no idea if that is two works or one.

"A dragon and his rider is casually tossed into the midst of a robot war between the surface and the space colonies in a world completely foreign to them."
