Alright this is literally most unplanned collab or thought of collab I put here. Sorry guys. But I really want to write with a lot of people, and have things happen and have it flow a little. So its not gonna be tied down with to much expectation!

Idea is though, the world is completely frozen over, Very little oil is left, and for the small amount that is left it freezes up. The only power sources are wind turbines which from time to time break because the gears have frozen or completely fall apart because its frozen. The essence of this collab is, everything is really really cold. Reasons why its cold is mostly unknown, very little history is left of civilization. For those who know lots say the world has been frozen for about fifty years.

They are small bits of society's built around wind turbines, most of it hidden underneath the snow, but freezing to death isn't their only worry. Large wolves ( i mean like on all fours are around the size of cars) Rule the surface but from time to time they get into the encampments. Guns are essentialy useless most of the parts are destroyed, and even in perfect working condition unless under the surface in what people would call warm temperatures ( to us still really cold) do they work. Crossbows are the most common answer to this problem. Some have surface guns because they have managed to make a battery that powers a heat trace( a wire that keeps the gun warm) These are rare. Some carry swords, but do not use them on the surface because large insulation gloves make a sword very hard to use.

Also other common problems are humans turned cannibal, most encampments warn others when they have been attacked by these cannibalistic humans. More importantly. The most terrifying enemy are rumours of flying machines abducting people while their are on the surface. While some as large (as the would describe it, ice cliffs) Walk around, and kill, and destroy everything.

If people want we might throw in mutants but no one is allowed being one.

We can change these points if some find them to restrictive we can also add to it to make this world more creative.

As a base idea for the story I was thinking that a human made technology has frozen the earth. My character guessed that when he was abducted by said flying machine, and saw this building that shot some strange field up into the sky. He somehow escapes and starts telling people around him.

Sorry for the length I hope we can get some writers for this.
