I've been kicking around a Post-Rapture Romance Novel. It'd be a rather bleak one, a pair of lovers set against the massive disappearances and destruction.

And I have questions.

BTW: if you answer "other" please explain in a comment.

Even though the idea is rather fascinating, I think for me it'd be super super hard to separate the occurrence of the Rapture with some sort of Christianity and moral criticism of those left behind. Once you ask me to believe in the Rapture you ask me to believe in god, in the punishment of the "unfaithful," in moral codes which I find substantially flawed, and it's hard for me to step back and merely read about it as an interesting apocalyptic mythology rather than as a religious judgment.

If I read about a world post-catastrophe, I'd much rather read about a non-religious cause, even if some characters choose to interpret it in a religious manner.

But I'm sure lots of other people don't have my hangups :D? Me and Christianity are no longer close friends.

Ahem. *puts on modest face* If you're seriously interested, my story, "The First Day," is a slash fanfic about 'the end of the world as we know it.' SciFi type. Um, LotR cast.
