So, I'm writing a *wait for it* Zombie Apocalypse story. I want to turn it into an online graphic novel. I've got two drafts, and I'm still editing them with the help of my "zombie team." if you're interested, and want to read some of it to see if you'd be interested in partaking in this project, reply on this thread. My goal is to make this project an enjoyable experience for Zombie enthusiasts everywhere!

**Edit**

Still looking for artists who are interested in this project. If interested, message me. Thanks.

It does sound interesting, I got to admit that. How long do you intend for it to be in it's final version?

It will be a while before it's finished. I only have two chapters finished. I kind of want to release them one by one, so that way I can build a fan base, and leave them hanging and wanting more. I have a few artists drawing up character sketches. Another one of my goals is to get exceptional artists recognized. If you want, I can send you all what I've written so far.

Huh... odd. I was contemplating the same thing last summer but I got lazy and never actually finished my stories. One of them was a semi fucked up story, not zombies. The other was supposed to be a multi layered story with "re-telling" criss crossed stories, but I got lazy to make a model to use so the story would be logically sound.

I think I'm being modest when I say I'm a talented artist. I co-drew that portrait of Chiya on teh recent blog post.

Holy Crap, that's exactly what I'm doing! I'm telling it all in first person from different perspectives. Then I switch to third person omnipresent in some chapters.

Thanks! ^_^ I'll take it into consideration. Did you start writing your story?

I'll have to consult my partner.

I wrote two "intros" and threw out both. Mainly issues with me wanting to write too much detail into it. It also doesn't help that watching my bro playing COD at the time made me want to put in a lot of violence that didn't really make sense. I think I'll revisit this idea once I develop my writing style more. I also have another idea right now for a several volume series... I wrote a story (it's in the forum) that was based on one of my dreams. I think there's a lot of improvements that could really be helpful for my writing style and abilities.

@ Xiong: Please do. Hopefully they ok you for the this project. If you and your partner would like to read the first two stories to get a better feel about things message me your e-mail address, and I'll send you what I have so far.

@ Fohfoh: Trust me, I've written some fan fictions back in the day, and I've thrown out MANY intros. It gets annoying after a while. I had two intros for the current story I'm writing now, and then I decided to throw it out and develop things as the story progresses. I have a "team" of zombie addicts helping me write this, and telling me what would work and what wouldn't. I just really want to get this project going. I'm not really expecting stardom or anything like that, maybe a cult following. That would be rather cool. If you'd like to read some of the story PM your e-mail to me and I'll send you what I have so far.

lol whatever works.

To an extent, I was trying to merge ideas explored in battle royale that weren't fully developed. I also really wanted to discuss the idea of an apolcalypse but also really push the idea that humans are also killing humans and have not united against the threat fully. Stuff like fighting each other for food, cannibalism, human hunters, anarchy etc.

However, it also felt like a stupid terminator story line as well.

Hmm, I never really though about that. My idea was just to just post the pictures of the drawings with the narrations in them, frame by frame. I never thought about doing a video of them and animating them. I'll have to talk to my tech savvy team members for that one. Now that I think about it, there was an animated graphic novel that I used to watch a long time ago. It was called "Broken Saints." I was impressed by the production of it all. I think I'll do something like that. What kind of compositions do you make?

If any of you would like to read some of the story to get a good feel about it, and know of anyone who might be interested in this project let them read it as well. You can reach me at zarbj@students.fscj.edu

I have written all types of music, but my most recent interests lie within the realms of electronica and industrial.

Hmm, sounds like an interesting idea for my surreal worlds story. I really should spend the time to develop it a lot more...

Music really does set the tone for what you're writing. I've been listening to the the Resident Evil OSTs. Mizore, where can I listen to your compositions?
