My brother and I saw the " A Recipe for seduction" KFC ad and he bet I could do better so here.
--------------------------------------------------------
Climate change, wars, slippers with socks - Members of the Intergalactic Council of Kind Friendly Conquerers (ICKFC) have seen enough.
So the council is searching the earth and making a list to decide: Should humanity be aided or replaced by a new species that would do a much better job.
Now a pair of KFC employees, a brother, a grumpy neighbour and his engineer (not) boyfriend must work together to steal the secret recipe and make the perfect family bucket. But will it be finger-liking-good enough to stall the invasion? 
With one life left, we can only taste and see!

A Recipe To Save the World - A KFC ad(venture)

TDLR: proud I finished though I'd rate this 2.5/5 😰. So many facts I wish I included. Would love reviews and tips, and full-on English lit essays if you want to help me improve


I'm surprised anyone reads this. My brother dared me to write something better over a year ago. Since then this pesky little project has gone through 5 major plot changes, from multiverse jumping to crime drama to cults. 


None of them seemed to stick especially when I wanted to keep it short to match the original film.


It was a lot of fun to research though KFC does have a wild history and advertisement campaigns. I recommend the "I love you Colonel Sanders" game. It's free on steam and only 1 hr 30 gameplay. Also, gravy candles if you like the smell. There was so much more I wanted to include, from the time KFC paid for the wedding of a couple that got engaged at their restaurant to the original motel and cafe that had open doors between them so guests could see the beds from the diner and attract them. The motel burnt down later on.


Harland Sanders had so many jobs before he started KFC in his 60s. It was during the great recession and I wonder similar times were then compared to the crisis we're living through now. He earned his colonel status as an honorary award from the start of Kentucky (not from war), for his contributions to the community with his cooking and aim for family affordability. Makes me wonder what my life will be like at that age and if I'll ever be a good enough writer to have one book published. 


I've learned a lot though about my writing process when my best times are to rewrite, common mistakes I've made and character building.


I honestly don't feel I've done my character justice with this. I have other ideas that might suit them better.


Either way, I'm proud I've committed and finished a project for the first time in years. It didn't turn out how I wanted but I've proven to myself that I can actually finish what I start and I'm really excited to take what I've learnt to my next project.


Thank you for reading this messy thing. I promise way more entertaining and well-paced stories to come. 


I feel like the pacing for this was wack, especially the ending which I struggled with a lot. I also tried to juggle too many characters and give them arcs instead of just focusing on the adventure and KFC. That's definitely something I'm gonna work on.


Any reviews and pointers to improve would be greatly appreciated.
