I'm considering participating for the first time, but I'm worried I won't have time between studying for finals and preparing for my mom's next surgery. But I have a general idea, and I'd like to just try and write as much as I can!
The basic plot: Every major city is divided into territories belonging to the richest and most powerful people, known as Holders, in the area. In their territory they have the power to do whatever they'd like, and the police often turn a blind eye towards illegal activities as long as word doesn’t get out to other cities. It’s like a game—if the person who owns the territory gets caught, the territory is passed along to the next most powerful person. As you can imagine, this leads to a lot of framing and setting up and bribing. Anyways, so there's this new Holder that recently just overthrew the previously most powerful Holder in existence, and everyone is terrified of him for obvious reasons.
So then enter the protagonist, who's had a bounty placed on his head for an unknown reason by said Holder. The protagonist then goes on and finds allies in unexpected places as he tries to flee the territory, only to find in the end that he's still needed there.
The actual plot is still relatively underdeveloped and it could go anywhere (none of it is final, obviously), but it's an idea I've been wanting to flesh out for a while. All I know for sure is it's going to be a fantasy/drama orientated story, with potential hints of romance and mystery.
