". . . the expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom."
Which sounds to me more like the Rapture. No, wait. In the Rapture all the good souls are sucked up to heaven and all the sinners are left behind. Right?

You're correct, Wes.
My script Hereafter (Patricide Hope) is about that. Still trying to film that one, but I keep having kids.
My son was born on Monday, my birthday was Friday, and today is Easter, so I've been a little busy to put in the necessary time for this OWC, but I'm doing it.
Wait, now I am confused. I thought it could be any sort of apocalyptic story, not just religious.
In other words if I wanted to call something "attack of that killer cucumbers" and write a story about how militant cucumbers nearly eradicated all life on the planet, I could. I mean we all know that killer tomatoes or carrots are dumb (seriously I am poking fun here so if anyone doesn't know the joke, Google it)...
But until vorpal bunnies show up, anything could be apocalyptic, right?? One they show up they just kinda leap heads over heals over everything. Again, if you don't spot the joke, Google it.
Seriously though am I wrong thinking that any story that leaves humanity on the brink of extinction would qualify?? If not, then I need to change my idea.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
@Dena - nice going with your OWC option! Your scripts are going places!
I don't know about this one, the ideas wouldn't come, only stupid stuff and I want to resist those. There's no much restriction this OWC and I need to be restricted. Strapped and bound by tight rules. Plastered to the wall and not alowed to breathe. Yeah...
I think to most people, the apocalypse means an end of the world type scenario. If you find another meaning, I guess technically you would be correct, but don't count on all SS readers, Carson and the pro reader to know about other meanings.
Dan - I'm right there with ya, buddy! It's not just end of times for all humanity. It can be the end of a race, sect, nation, etc. I'm going for a combination of prophetic revelation and great disaster.
Definition of apocalypse 1 a : one of the Jewish and Christian writings of 200 b.c. to a.d. 150 marked by pseudonymity, symbolic imagery, and the expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom b capitalized : revelation 3 2 a : something viewed as a prophetic revelation b : Armageddon 3 : a great disaster (an environmental apocalypse)
So am I right in understanding that this could be life AFTER an environmental apocalypse? Had an idea today but it falls in the after the big bang sort of way.
