Hm. Now that I think about it, it would suck to have a story of a survivor on a dead planet. Anything that happens in the story is pretty much the same thing; roaming, trying to survive, encountering problems, then either a plot twist at the end or just plain suicide. I agree.

However, I think I might have problems with portraying overpopulation as a horrid situation, but the thing I'm most worried about is that I might just have to risk it and go for a gamble on another angle of the story, probably one with multiple point of views like "Black Hole Sun" by Empy, but I'd have to make an unpredictable ending, which is problematic since there is only two events that could occur at the very end that I can think of right now.

One ending would be just a slow apocalypse, while the other can be a brighter future. I guess that what matters more would be the leadup to it, unless I can think of better endings which would make handling the story better, though I can't really rely on that.

Thanks for your input! I'll try not to disappoint with my story.
