Hi everyone,
I’ve just posted my sci-fi survival story GENESIS in the Logline section.
It’s about a man who must survive ten years alone in the wild after the mysterious disappearance of humanity, leading to a powerful twist about the origins of mankind.
Would love to hear your thoughts

Hi Genesis; I'm a longtime science fiction writer so I hope it's okay to comment. The disappearance of humanity is a long used trope in this genre. In fact it's over-used. I would check with the Science Fiction Writers Association and look at their guidelines for the storylines editors do not want to see anymore. If this isn't on the list you might be ok. I will try to check it out.

I suggest adding a profile picture of yourself and more info to your profile bio. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. A detailed bio will help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became a screenwriter, your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies and shows you like.
You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

Hi Ilanna, and thank you so much for your thoughtful comment.
You're absolutely right that the "disappearance of humanity" is an overused concept in sci-fi — but in my story, that’s only what it seems like at first.
Very soon, the narrative takes a different turn, revealing deeper layers that change everything.
I aimed to offer a fresh experience — blending survival, isolation, and reconstruction — with a final twist that redefines the entire journey.
I’d be happy to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to read the full story
