Hi everyone,
I was torn between this and something relating to the Black Adam movie. With the coming of the final instalment of The Walking Dead later this month, this contest is about stories that take place in the Apocalypse. Characters struggling to survive in Zombie infested worlds or Nuclear wastelands; our science fiction characters visiting apocalyptic worlds in an attempt to help the survivors; Or people trying to rebuild society after their own has been destroyed. For that matter, any other story dealing with a world whose civilization has been laid to waste, but NOT stories where earth has been destroyed long in the past and humans are living elsewhere such as Dune and Firefly. This is about the struggle to survive and rebuild.
Graphic novels, movies, television all count, but not video games except where posting a scripted version of that game.
NOTE: I thought this would have been done before but the last thread I could find was dated 2011 so I thought it was safe to do again.
UPDATE: To clarify my concept of what can be posted and to perhaps spark some ideas I offer the following suggestions. The concept of an apocalypse story doesn't have to be exclusively confined to Earth. There are movies and series where civilizations have been wiped out on other planets. Star Trek has had the crew visit such planets going back to the original series. Stargate has examples, as do other popular series.
Also, aliens or other entities have destroyed civilization, leaving small groups of survivors trying to find their place in the new world. These count as apocalypse stories as well.
