During a galactic war between humans and aliens, a soldier and his team discover something ominous buried on a planet that threatens the lives of both species.
This is definitely a hard one to write. "something ominous" I admit was pretty lazy and vague. I just thought saying what it is would reveal too much, or it would be too confusing. It`s especially hard when the ideas I have for the story involve 3 different threats or stakes at once, which makes itRead more

It`s especially hard when the ideas I have for the story involve 3 different threats or stakes at once, which makes it hard to fit into a logline and still make it about the main character, and without it being confusing or vague.
So when I write the logline, it only ends up being about one of the threats in it, which makes it sound clich?.
Sci-Fi`s are pretty hard to write loglines on.
In the time of a great civil war, a young man is positioned in a tower alone where he must fight for survival with very few supplies, and a sniper rifle.
Good points Torie & Timmy. much appreciated. Those ideas would work well in the logline to establish the atmosphere of the situation.

Both work well. I’ll probably change/add some words to it, to make more clearer. 🙂

I didn't really want to get into the specifics in the logline, since it's not really the plot of the story. But I'll tell you since you're interested.

The story takes place during the Irish Civil War at the battle of Dublin, and yes, he is a soldier(I probably could’ve said that in the logline), on the Irish Republican Army side. Also, he’s positioned there alone because their army is very small.
See lessI wasn’t sure how to summarize that in the logline without it sounding like a character or location description.
