So in one part of the project we had to get in groups and write down premises together. I was excited to share my ideas with a group but ultimately was ridiculed, actually let me go into that. So I presented the idea of the parasitic cells of a starfish were to be used to test accelerated regeneration in humans but since the cells were parasitic the starfish would take over a human's mind. The cool thing about that is that scientists actually do use starfish cells to help human cells regenerate so it was great to have some real science in a science fiction story. The takeover would be really subtle just causing impulses in a human's mind controlling emotions nothing big like cliche zombies. But oh no, my group decided scrap my idea and make fun of me calling my story the "starfish zombie" story making fun of how ridiculous they thought it was. So I just meekly retreated taking my story with me. On that day I swore that I would keep all my writing and story ideas independant. Anyway, they then proceeded to write up a crappy scenario about robots fighting an AI. I really can't explain how poorly thought out this premise was. So much in fact that once they looked back on it they realized that and asked me to replace it with my story but I was like "Oh now you want my story!" Other groups didn't fair much better, but maybe that's just me seeing it from my convoluted high standards glasses. At least I analyze myself with these glasses as well as others. My group didn't photograph their seed text (it was actually destroyed out of shame) but here's some others.
