Apocalypse Whenever

[forsyth]

Y'know, every time I read something about the Left Behind books, it makes me almost want to write something like that. Not the crappy fundie side, or even the "end of the world" side of things. But take the whole "A third of the world's population disappears, just like that!" thing, and then run with it.

Eventually, of course, I'd have to explain how it happened, although I guess there'd be points to leaving it a mystery too. Hmm.

It's really the wasted opportunities that get to me. Just like with the Star Wars prequels.

Even before I had ever heard of Left Behind, I was working on a multi-story saga called Earthshatter.

Only one third of the human race vanishing? In my story, it was eleven out of twelve! And theology had nothing to do with it.

Just color me curious here, but what opportunities did you think they wasted in the Star Wars prequils?
