Got Some Good News And Some Bad News.
May 20 2011, 10:30 PM EDT | Post edited: May 20 2011, 10:30 PM EDT
Howdy folks, got a rare non-bastard thread. As the title says, I've got some news for you.

Here's the bad news first: I'm taking an indefinite break from writing Zed's Love.
Before I get burned at the stake, let me say that I AM NOT ending the story. Eventually, I will come back to it and finish. You haven't seen the last of Matt Harrigan.

Here's why: simply put, I need time to think of ideas. I've tried writing more of it, but it turned out pretty crappy. So I'd like to let it sit for a while, and come back to it with a fresh mind.

And now, here's the good news: I'm going to start writing something else. An ensemble zombie story! A bunch of famous horror movie icons will be forced together to deal with a zombie outbreak.
Any ideas for who you think should be in it?
Do you find this valuable?

Agreed on Ash, he's already in there. I don't wanna give the full cast away just yet, though.

The boy might be interesting.

And RFZD, two problems: The dad died, and he was "evil". I'm looking for people that survived, at least, the first movie, and were the heroes. Granted, a few villains will appear, but it's only one or two.

John McClane from Die Hard would be pretty badass

(not a horror movie, but he's still a good character.)

Heh, yep. Wanted to have at least one of them. Probably Peter.

Edit: Z-bomb, I'd put him in there, but then there'd be A LOT of action movie characters I'd want to put in.

And sure, RK.

Clint Eastwoof? Sounds like a bad dog.
But yeah, same problem: If I put him in, I'll have about a dozen other action movie badasses I'd try to fit in.

And yes to video game characters.
