Meltdown Café: NaNoWriMo has begun!

Or will, by midnight. Head over to my writing blog, Torrie Burke, to view updates on my writing project for the month of November. Hope to see you there!

THE LISTS

Below are the lists of various media types dealing with Post-Apocalyptic, Dystopian or otherwise SHTF scenarios. Mind you, inclusion of these does not necessarily mean I endorse them --some are sheer crap and marked with an X, but are included for the completionists (and so I don't get e-mails screaming that their favorite piece of garbage isn't on the list when I didn't feel like putting it there). My personal favorites, however, are marked with an asterisk. Why? Because I felt like pointing them out. You disagree with my opinions? Put on your man panties and deal with it. The Post-Apocalypse is no place for whiny wimps.
