Not sure if you mentioned this in the video but what if the sister was raped by an alien guy?

[architectus777]

That's actually what happens in my new sci-fi novel Agija. I am on chapter 9. She is raped by a Klictan. You can find it on webook. Search Agija.

Thanks. The series really should be watched from part 1 otherwise so much is lost.

story is sick!!!

Interesting, because I was assuming prior to the last two videos that the plot line was the spine.

Wow, this was up a long time ago so I don't you read these comments any more. But I'm loving this. I like starting the story a little early with Jack and sister dealing with why they are there. This could really set up Jack's needs and the prejudice he (and maybe his sister have) and of course it's intensified by his sister being rape by one of the aliens. See, that's how they are! Like guy who is already racist gets robbed by a black guy and this justifies his racism even more.

RRRRRRRRRRAPE!!!! lol. i like your story

[totallymoah]

It's true what you said. Since you started making the story by using this specific structure now the scenes come down more naturally and you don't have to do a lot of thinking. I love it!

woudlnt SEEING his sister being raped kind of scar him mentally as well? i mean, knowing is one thing, but witnessing is worse. and also, you should make bob drunk or high at the time, or forced to do it, and that helps with the revelation that Jack has.
