@Weesam - I think we, myself included, are interpreting the parameters of this challenge to narrowly. after looking at the actual parameters, it only says the apoc. should be the focus. So I have decided Rot & Ruin would qualify, but with my interpretation Station Eleven would not. Because in Rot & Ruin even though it had been years, the zombies who were the cause of the apoc. were still the focus, where in Station Eleven, it was more about rebuilding several years after the virus had decimated the population. Sable your thoughts on this interpretation?


Having not yet read it myself, so only guessing based on what I've heard and the synopsis, I'd let it pass. The apocalypse was the cause of all the events that are happening, right? And none of the events would have happened without it? Then I would count it, sure. 1984 doesn't count though, because people allowed a dystopia without any apocalyptic impetus. See what I'm saying?
