What the hell?! The past just jacked my idea for a serious story.
Actually it isn’t anything I thought it would be. The gist of the story is very closely to what I want to write:
An alien race known as the Oni arrive on Earth with the intention of invading the planet. Instead of taking over the planet by force, the Oni give humans a chance to fight for the rights to the planet by competing in a competition.
Basically my idea is: “Man has to save his world in a game of competition held by Aliens”.
I thought of a big premise on how to write this in a serious matter, and I thought it would be a lot of fun. But until then, I am going to use this as a foundation or reference to what I will write.

Why not write it anyway?! What does a existing premise have to do with yours? There are no original ideas, just creatively reworked. I love the idea of us being put into competition to save our world. How many times have an alien race come to our planet and give us a fighting chance to keep the right to survive? Almost every alien movie out there.
Now, in terms of an “olympic style” sanctioned tournament, it makes for good dramedy (Drama + Comedy). Do it… can’t hurt to throw another alien invasion story into the mix.
