Sci-fi: There is no such thing as aliens -- [i]anymore[/i].

My original plot idea was a Marine in the NATO-I, I being the Interstellar section- NATO across the stars. In this futuristic AU of sorts, there are three factions: NATO-I, the Renewed Warsaw, and then the Eastern Alliance- China/Japan/Middle-East, versus America & Europe, versus Russia, Ukraine, etc.

And after first being deployed, aliens show up. Who also have different warring factions.

And the plan was it to become this great big clusterfuck of different factions of human and two different alien races, constantly fighting and making new alliances and such. My character being in the middle of it.

But I couldn't even get past the first thousand words.
