Hey guys (:
Okay, so, um, I posted this early this morning and I got about fifty views… but no comments ): I was very sad, but I’d like to remind people that literally anything except for, like, a recipe for cake will help, since I have really no ideas whatsoever.
Here’s the scoop:
I’m writing a short story about a future world where people are perfect. No disabilites, no diseases, no obesity. The people who aren’t perfect are sent to a “hospital”, which none of the perfect people know about. This hospital pretty much waits until you’re sixteen years old, all the while studying you and forcing you into experiments, then kills you so they can use your body parts for plastic surgery for the perfect people. Yeah, I know. It’s kinda gross. It’s also waaay darker than anything else I’ve ever written, so I’m going to need some special names. I like the whole “futuristic hunger games” naming idea, but nothing too weird please. I have been [name]Star[/name] Trek free for six years, and I hope to never have a relapse, because the best doctors say I may not ever recover for a second time.
The main character is a fifteen year old girl living in the hospital who is going to turn sixteen in a week. Her "disabilities" include Asthma, an ever so slight case of Bipolar Disorder, and Panophobia, AKA: a fear of everything. She knows what's going to happen when she reaches sixteen, but she doesn't think there's anything weird about it, because she's known about it her whole life. Well, she finds out somehow that people can live past 16 years, and makes a run for it. So far, my idea of her is tall (but not lanky), maybe like reddish/dark brown curly hair? Not like "[name]Hermione[/name]" curly, more like ringlets. And her eyes... I haven't really decided yet. Maybe if you have some ideas on that too?
Second character is another girl. Short, light brown hair this time, clear blue eyes. She's sixteen on the opening day in the first chapter, but escapes. She's kind of an inspiration for the MC to leave the hospital. Second character is blind, that's the whole reason why she's not a perfect person.
Third character is a boy. Fourteen, really looks like main character (He turns out to be her little brother) except different colored eyes. He is in the hospital for his scoliosis (have absolutely no idea of how to spell this and am currently too lazy to open up a new tab to spell check it). I was thinking something along the lines of "[name]Soren[/name]" or "[name]Wyatt[/name]" for his name.
Fourth character (I swear, I'm almost finished ) is another boy. He is a "perfect person". Seventeen and handsome, maybe dark blond hair, chocolate brown eyes, nicely built. He becomes good friends with main character girl.
Thank you for reading this insanely long post, but I need help!
Lots of [name]Love[/name]!
