I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I have a question. I have some ideas on story premises, but I'm not sure if they're simply too unbelievable or cheesy.
1) In one day, an alien attack from space infects the entire population of the world's twenty largest cities and turns them into mindless slaves of the aliens, who are remaining in orbit above the Earth. Every day, spores emanating from the infected population infect more at a rate that will eventually result in the entire world being infected in six months if it goes unchecked. The apocalyptic story starts here and follows a small population as they try to either stop the infections or make peace with the aliens.
2) An English businessman gathers an A-Team/Mission Impossible style team in the mid-1800s with science fiction elements. (Yes, it's basically a steampunk Mission Impossible.)

variation on 1) The same as premise 1, except that it is not aliens, but rather a quasi-scientific cult, and the nature of the infections is slightly less severe. (I am not talking about flesh-eating zombies, but rather people who lose all sense of identity and free-will.)
