Maybe this doesn't belong here, but can anyone point me towards a good fan fic involving zombies? To clarify: I want to see what happens when a zombie outbreak happens in any given fandom. I've seen a couple, but their mostly World War Z crossovers with a character recounting what happened. I want full on gory zombie action!
If this thread is somehow out of line I blame an extended fourth of July Zombie Movie marathon and a(n) (in)decent amount of Southern Comfort.

I can't help you, but I'm always up for a good zombie feast too.

Hmm... zombie fics. I don't know any of them on the top of my head yet... but I've almost feel tempted to write one...
Actually, I've did work on a zombie fic a while ago, but it's still unfinished. It's somewhere in the Member's art and writing category. It's called Redundant Heroes. Unfortunately it's a warcraft fan fic, so you might not enjoy it as much. IT also didn't helped I was intending to cross the line twice at the time, being over-the-top and slightly offensive enough to piss off a few WoW fan girls...

Well there was that one Mass Effect zombie story about the woman being chased by husks.... written by a very talented author na- MEEEEEEE ;D www.fanfiction.net/s/5423644/1/Smells_Like_Smoke_and_DeathI can't actually give you what you're looking for though. Just ridiculous self-promotion. It's not really zombies Just something I wrote for last Halloween with husks doing zombie stuff. I was thinking about maybe doing a similar story this year - a vampire story about an ardat-yakshi! But I can't think of anything for that. Maybe if ME 3 involves some kind of wolf-man like species, I can make a trilogy!

I've already read 'Smoke and Death', it was pretty good. But you're right, it's not what I'm looking for.

In no particular order: Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, the remake of Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, Plan 9 from Outer Space (Best Worst Movie ever!) and of course Zombieland. In an extention of my request I'd also like to see any zombie shorts anyone might stumble upon. I've found a couple on youtube that are good. Also, you can't beat Gay Zombies. EDIT: I just remembered about this: It's basically a chose your own adventure zombie movie.

You know, I saw a movie not too long ago called "Carriers" that was actually pretty good. Kind of a lame ending, but it had all that post-apocalyptic sweetness that was reminiscent of the Romero flicks. Had the new Captain Kirk in it, too! The remake of "The Crazies" came out not too long ago, as well. I thought that one was effing amazing. But, ah, the only fanfic I can think of, regrettably, is my own. Did a prequel to 28 Weeks Later a few years ago that did all right. Prepare to be underwhelmed, though. xD www.fanfiction.net/s/3541005/1/HomecomingI'll try and think of some more films; I'm drawing a blank right now. But we're not so different, you and I. >=D EDIT: Has anyone else noticed that FF.net removed paragraph breaks from some stories? All my stories are all messed up now. Laaaaaaame.

If you like zombies, consider checking out David Moody's website. He wrote a good series of zombie fiction, which is just about ready for re-release, I believe. The first book was an online freebie too, though I'm not sure if it still is. Good stuff.

I saw / played that "The Outbreak" game. It was pretty good.
I rented a copy of the new "The Crazies" too... might be watching that tonight!

The Crazies was good! Dark, and even a little frightening in places, even to my jaded senses. I really enjoyed it.

I can't make spoiler free critisims of the film. It was decent, if predictable, right up until the 'final solution', which was total nonsense no matter what the circumstances.

I think they wanted to end the film with a bang, Jax. ;D
