Yep. Good idea. I'd change the 1500 years in the first story to about 5000, though. I once read a book about a horde that scoured a galaxy of all organic material and useful minerals and then moved to the next. They'd return a million years later for a repeat. It was called "The Hour of the Horde" or "The Silver Horde" or something like that.
It would not surprise me. By now any idea that one can think up has already been thought up and most likely used in a story. Thanks for the info though. I have never heard or read the book and thought that the concept I was using for this story when I wrote so many years ago, was an original one. It saddens me greatly to think someone beat me to it.
It's still original - You hadn't heard of that when you wrote it.
