Most of my posts are walls of text so im cutting to the chase on this one,Im writing an apaclyptic novel (Yes thats without the "post" since itl kick off near the crisis point and end roughly around the time the initial chaos dies down) Itl be a human drama around a dysfunctional family caughtup in a end of the world type scenario, but what id like to hear from you guys is, which one do you suppose has the best fear factor to it? ive considered quite a few but im conflicted (PS im gonna try and keep it real , so nothing too far out)

    Biebocalypse - A event of catastrophic proportions where the world and everything in it loves the Biebster and worships it as a false idol. This event causes a massive financial collapse world wide as all will now only worship the Biebs. Small pockets of resistance will be forced to answer this threat with a nuclear response. Biebatics who's faith in the dark lord is strong will rise from their graves to continue the worship of this false idol. Fueled by an insatiable hunger for catchy tunes, sideways hats, and human brains.

    The Alpacalypse.

    Alpacas rise up against their slave masters, and, aided by camels and horses, suffocate literally every last human on earth with their dense, soft fur.

    They're coming!

    On a primal level, zombies, they're something so familiar yet so alien, friends and family becoming crazed monsters.

    But something like a catastrophic virus or war has more real world implications

        Agreed, but the thing about this story is that it needs a failry sudden breakdown of society that leaves urban areas intact while still making survivors fairly untrusting of one another, Sudden ecological disatres are more likely to make people bond together than drive them apart (Recent flooding in former Yugoslavia saw former ethnic enemies helping eachother out,landslides in Kashmir had the same effect) Something like a world war three would be equally likely to make people band together against the invading enemy instead of driving them apart,and nuclear war would take along time to give rise to the situation i'm envisioning in these locales such as aus, (no food on the shelves, no medicine in the pharmacies, hospitals and police stations deserted, the water and electricity down ect, would perhaps be the case but only at least a year or so down the line and i'm looking for a more in a matter of weeks thing.,

        Australia eg, would

    Probably a huge asteroid impact. Not sure it would make a very good story though.

        So did Lenny Kravitz and Nelly Furtado.

        R Kelly believed he could, but I think he was lying.
