I really, really need to stop reading Slacktivist.  He keeps putting up posts that lead to plot bunnies and I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME FOR PLOT BUNNIES.

But look at this. JUST friggin' LOOK at this.  Various aliens from around the universe showing up on Earth to stop the Rapture?  Really?  Really?

How can I resist an idea like that?

Stay tuned.  I'm working this thing up.  Chances are it will heavily crib from various other sources, since, y'know, I don't have a hell of a lot of time.  But it won't be plagiarism, no way, no how.  We call this a "homage."

I look forward to the scene where the anti-christ recites the names of all the alien representatives and the astronomical coordinates of the planets they're from.

More seriously, the anti-christ figure is going to have to be more competent than Nicky of the Mountains or the whole thing won't work. The Doctor vs. Nicolae Carpathia? Please!

Crap. My Antichrist needs to be Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged. Mostly because it'll take forever to make a single announcement.

For the record: my story won't actually be what Fred seems to be talking about. While the fanfic/crossover nature of his idea would be a hell of a lot of fun, I'm thinking of something slightly...different.

As it turns out, I can do fairly extensive worldbuilding on the fly over the course of an afternoon. It's just that in this case it's kind of Scalzi's The God Engines meets Ian Douglas's Star Carrier trilogy meets any number of Arthur C. Clarke concepts.

I have six words for you: Bikini Girls from the Lost Planet. I mean, they need Earth to continue existing because if Earth goes away, then where will they go every 20 years to find men to repopulate their all-female planet? It's a crisis, man. The Bikini Girls would be as anti-anti-Christ as anyone.
