Apocalypse...how?
19 Aug 2013 09:43 am(I stole the title of this post from TV Tropes, but it was hard to resist). Anyway, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
seriesfive and I are going to run an Apocalypse mini-bingo! Soon/soon-ish!
So, first off, how many ways of ending the earth/a planet/universe are there? Flist, we need your help!
Via Wikipedia, TV Tropes, my own head, various SF novels and the inventive heads of other people, we have a list as follows:
( Cut for multiple ends of the world(s) )
So, what have we missed, which prompts could be combined into one square, and what would be the best names for the tropes/prompts? What do you think? (Please, do link this post around - we'd like to gauge interest as well as get people's thoughts on this.)
(We're thinking mini-bingo - 3x3 squares, probably. People will be able to have vetoes, so it's okay to have some fairly specific scenarios in the above list, although obviously most would need to be reasonably generic.)
This is just an extremely rough list as yet - many things are probably badly phrased, and not everything has to be included in the final list. If you object to either phrasing or a scenario, that's one of the things we want to know about here and why we're making this post, but please be nice to everybody when discussing the impending apocalypse, or comments will be screened or deleted. Thank you.
