I've never done anything like this but I've been playing a shitload of Fallout lately and figured I'd give it a go. Please don't yell at me if I'm awful! ;_;

Anyways, welcome to CYOA: Apocalypse - where the story is driven by you, the community! Most of you will know how this works but I'll explain for those who don't. This story will be driven by an apocalypse scenario, where the major decisions made by the protagonist are up to you by casting your vote on the options given at the end of each post. You can do this by posting the relevant letter of the option you wish to choose, eg. A., B., C. etc. At every junction (there will be one every post) I will list two, three or even four options for a particular decision.

Every so often I will allow the community to deliver wildcard options for particular decisions - this can be as ridiculous or as sane as you like, but this will ultimately be chosen by me based on the merit and quality of the option. Generally speaking, these wildcard opportunities will occur when there is little direction for the protagonist or no obvious decisions for him/her to make, and will usually be worded something like 'What do you do next?'. Detailed is appreciated, but try not to write a whole story arc in one decision.

Firstly though, I need you to help me choose the apocalypse scenario and the gender of the protagonist, to help me set the scene and get us off the ground. This initial post has two options, so please vote with two options respectively, eg. 'A. and B', where A. refers to the apocalypse scenario and B. refers to the gender of the character.

Apocalypse Scenario
A. Global Warming
B. Global Cooling
C. Nuclear Holocaust
D. Meteor Obliteration
E. Zombie Apocalypse
F. Biological Apocalypse (disease)
G. Technological Apocalypse (think Terminator)

Please note that if there is a vote-tie by the time we're ready to start I choose the most popular options and the vote starts again.

Character Gender
A. Male
B. Female

That's pretty much it, though I've probably missed plenty of details.
The story will begin on Saturday 12pm GMT according to whatever Google tells me. In any case this is 10:30pm my time on a Saturday. If I'm working it may be slightly later.

Happy apocalypse!

Torn between C, E and F, because they all allow for weird monsters. I'll go for F.

Also, you cis male scum - only male and female?!? You disgust me! (B pls)

In the other one there is one person per character, in this one everyone coletivelly writes the protagonist's story(IIUC).

Anyway, F and B. I don't think the sex really makes that much difference tho, unless you plan to use Rape as Drama

Great! Keep the votes coming guys!
Just something to add, I've decided that every story post I make will be added to the OP (Do thread OP's have length limits?) underneath a spoiler tag or something. This is so that people can join in whenever they want and still understand the story so far. :)
