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.

Babies & Kids - Other...because I don't know the answer to that one. I don't believe in the rapture - I don't think it's theologically sound, IIRC from biblical studies.

80% of the US pop. disappears - Other. Because instead of thinking of the good, I just wondered if there would be enough engineers left behind to maintain the nuclear power stations etc.

Men on a clean up crew - Other. Would they have been attracted regardless of the event? Is the event the catalyst? (80% of the population's disappeared so maybe they just said 'to hell with it'? (In rural areas there may only be a few people per square mile, so maybe men or women in that situation would form relationships under those circumstances anyway?)

NOt very helpful, I'm afraid. Sorry. But like some of the other commenters I'd find it hard to pick up a book about the rapture and not think it was directed at a particular religious group, and that would probably make me put it down again.
