No no no what I ment is that I'm very defiant about not wanting any zombies! honestly!
Not paying attention to the spell checker and it usually being past 4am when I'm posting is the only real excuse I have for that :(.
Zombie apocalypse's are the best apocalypse's :) got to love the zombies! Not exactly realistic or plausible tho and defiantly not what i have in mind for my book. A devastating virus is a thought, I have been toying with the idea that a meteor could hit causing some damage and bring with it...
Thanks a lot for the replies, some interesting stuff so far!
One thing I have been dwelling on is the solar flare, is it possible for the sun to flare and cause some sort of impact with the earth? That could combine the effects of an EMP with some pretty hefty physical impact damage. I don't...
Chernobyl was a single isolated incident which was quickly and literally buried in cement I'm reasonably sure that an exchange of nuclear weapons between super powers and there various allies would be substantially more sevier. Or am i wrong?, how much radiation was actually released at...
An ice age isn't quite the same thing tho, no sunlight means no plant life and if there's no plants then everything dies at least that is my understanding of the ecosystem (again must stress very uneducated on the subject). A nuclear holocaust using modern ICBMs on a scale large enough to wipe...
I think some of you are misunderstanding the nature of the book, the actual apocalypse doesn't need to be particularly exciting or original its merely a means to an end. The narrative will be set many many years later in a pre industrial civilization that has rebuilt itself, I haven't even...
Yeah that's my thoughts on the black hole, it may well be possible but would seem a bit far fetched and "Star Treky" to most readers i think. As for anything that would raise a dust cloud I'm dubious about if people would be able to survive this, surely if the sun was blocked out for any length...
If i were to go with the idea of multiple asteroid strikes how would that work? Do you even get "Clouds" of small asteroids whizzing through the solar system in the same way you get individual large ones? And would a rain of destruction such as this raise a dust cloud blotting out the sun, if so...
I hadn't actually considered the Alien invasion angle, it opens up a lot of interesting possibilities but doesn't quite "feel" right to me. I guess its a little to close to scientology for my tastes, and takes the story away from the realms of post apocalyptic fiction and into pure science fiction.
Thanks for the positive feedback Bobby its really appreciated, I am defiantly going to give this idea my best shot. I have most of the basic storyline worked out i just need to fill in a lot of the details, the main one obviously is how the world got in this shape.
Patrick I really like the...
An asteroid strike or nuclear holocaust are defiantly my two first thoughts however it was my thinking (admittedly very uneducated on the subject) that something of that nature on a scale large enough to wipe out modern civilization would surely leave no survivors and render the world...
That is quite an excellent error on my part considering what I am trying to do, my only excuse is that its 8:30am and I haven't slept yet. As for the scenario I did not want to go into any great detail until I knew this was the correct place for such questions but since you have asked ill say a...
Hi, I'm not sure how you guys are going to respond to this request and i guess it may sound a little mental but here goes...
I'm attempting to write some fiction which may sound like a pipe dream to most but i intend to try non the less, while i am confident in my ability to write I'm not...
