    Yeah, I wasn't sure how much back story to put in the logline because I tried to keep it short and interesting. I'm thinking the war could possibly have been caused by a federal military strike on numerous cities in a certain state in the name of combating a "terrorist organization", however the govRead more

    Yeah, I wasn’t sure how much back story to put in the logline because I tried to keep it short and interesting. I’m thinking the war could possibly have been caused by a federal military strike on numerous cities in a certain state in the name of combating a “terrorist organization”, however the governor of that state believes they crossed a line and summons the national guard to defend the state. This escalates into a civil war, with states choosing sides with either the Catalysts (federal gov supporting) or the Reactionaries (state-supporting).

    Personally I don’t think I need to include background of the war in this particular logline, but I’m open to suggestions! 🙂

    To Chorley and dpg,

    The second US civil war has been waged for many years at this point, so I think everyone would be pretty used to it as it’s a common part of everyday life. The two sides in the war have been at a stalemate for a very long time, until one side gets an huge advantage and proceeds to push up the front line. The journalist’s town is in the path of the advancing military.

    Some of the conflict comes from the fact that the journalist’s superiors want him to give a very biased account of the war, due to the heavy propaganda of the time, but in order to save his town he has to play the role of unbiased diplomat and get both sides to stop the fighting long enough to evacuate the town.

    ( Thanks for the comments! )

    ?In the future, when only pockets of civilization have survived a worldwide famine, one young nomad will have to overcome prejudices and allegiances if he is to learn the four lessons that his dead guardian tasked him with pursuing as his dying wish.?

    Thanks for the advice dpg. I was having trouble with the motivation and the driving force behind the story. How about this: "In the future, after only pockets of civilization have survived a worldwide famine, a young nomad will have to have to race against time to learn the lessons that his deceasedRead more

    Thanks for the advice dpg. I was having trouble with the motivation and the driving force behind the story.
    How about this:

    “In the future, after only pockets of civilization have survived a worldwide famine, a young nomad will have to have to race against time to learn the lessons that his deceased guardian left for him, in order to defeat the rogues that are hunting him, without sacrificing his pacifism.”
