Line 42: == [[Fan Works]] == * ''[http://meganphntmgrl.livejournal.com/80785.html A Statement in the Ice]'',{{Dead link}}~~'',~~ a one-shot ''[[Watchmen (comics)\|Watchmen]]/[[Cthulhu Mythos]]'' crossover which uses the concept that {{spoiler\|Adrian}} called down a ''real'' [[Eldritch Abomination]] rather than had one ~~customized~~custom built. * ''[http://featherfish.livejournal.com/196763.html#cutid1 The Baker Street Record]'', an epic ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]/[[House of Leaves]]'' crossover, is one giant Apocalyptic Log, much like ''[[House of Leaves]]'' itself. * In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6562450/1/Subject_014 Subject 014]'', a ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfiction, Anko is in an [[Abandoned Area\|abandoned base]] and is reading one of these and the last entry sudden trails off the clipboard. Anko then checks the date. [[Oh Crap\|The last entry had been written seventeen minutes earlier.]] Line 103: == [[Literature]] == * The ''Last Survivors'' series is done this way. * John Barnes' ''[[wikipedia:The Sky So Big and Black\|The Sky So Big And Black]]'' is set in a solar system where they're [[Terraforming]] Mars for living room. They can't use Earth any more, because it's inhabited by a [[Hive Mind]] united by a behavioural [[MeMemetic MeMutation\|meme]], Resuna, which is aggressively trying to spread itself to the rest of humanity (it just wants to help!). The novel is the log of a psychiatrist going over and adding to his notes of his latest patient, plucky [[Action Girl]] Teri, and is one part her adventures [[Terraforming]], one part a discussion of exactly how memes work to take over a person, and one part, well, where these two things intersect. The psychiatrist catches the meme off Teri, and the entries in his log show his mind going. * Played with in ''[[World War Z]]'', which is an oral history of a narrowly-averted [[Zombie Apocalypse]]. * ''And the Ass Saw the Angel'', by Nick Cave, is the protagonist's stream of thought as he sinks into [[Quicksand Sucks\|quicksand]]. Line 312: == [[Theme Parks]] == * At [[Disney Theme Parks]], one of these can be heard while waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise ride. * At Busch Gardens Europe, the former attraction Curse of Darkastle iswas an Apocalyptic Log... set into an [[Groundhog Day Loop\|Endless Loop]]. ** The plot of Curse of Pompeii and many other Howl O Scream rides is often one of these, too.
