Agreed. Let's brainstorm a slew of titles, meaning many. Yeah, I just hope everyone is reading all of the posts, I'm getting tired of tagging everyone all the time and being a PITA. 💔

PITA or not, a friendly reminder can't hurt. To PITA or not to PITA, that is the question.

Sorry I haven't been here much. Ah, life.
Great way to start us off wolfie.
Zombie and witches and boars, oh my. Zombie and witches and boars, oh my! Zombie and witches and boars, oh my!
We can really take off and run on with what you provided us (I'm Mr Run-On). I have my ideas where I would go if I were next, but looking forward to the ideas the next writer has and where he'll go. I like being proven wrong.

I like being proven wrong. That is what makes it so fun, my Pennsylvania brother: the unpredictability of it all!
It reminds me a lot of the Butterfly Effect. Its one decision (in our case a theme), but it can go in so many directions.

I get what you're saying, my friend. I do understand that Wolf has possibly introduced elements that may be unexpected (I didn't remember the magic suggestion until I went back through the posts earlier, so it was a bit unexpected), but I do think it works. And plus, those Resident Evil type elements will be explored in the coming chapters.
A friendly reminder to our writers, though, that we don't all start introducing too many different elements. We all agreed that it would be zombies, writer and boar man! Though not necessarily in that order!

I must stress that the writer element (and possibly the occult) do come into play; that's a very SK thing and I've always wanted to do something like his zombie related work.

We could, theoretically, incorporate all the elements decided upon.
Perhaps a famous writer of zombie novels finds out that his works are coming to life as a result of an obsessed, Annie Wilkes led cult!? My apologies if I misunderstood this post here. Going from past experience, we can incorporate whatever we want, as long as it relates to, and 'fits' in the story.💔

I never noticed the magic post until today (after I read your chapter). So long as it works, as it did, its all good!

Okay, folks ...
So, this year there's going to be no people doing multiple chapters (I believe that last year people were doing a chapter and a prologue, if they got the luck of the draw). Seeing as we've SEVEN participants (which are myself, Dio, Wolf, Doc, Prufock, Tanith and Harbinger), I've decided to go with: A Prologue; Chapter 1; Chapter 2; Chapter 3; Chapter 4; Chapter 5; and an Epilogue.
The chapters are going to be a little longer this year as well. The main chapters (excluding the epilogue and prologue) shall be 950 - 1150 words. And the prologue and epilogue's are going to be 1200 - 1300 words. Of course, these numbers are flexible (this is a bit of fun, after all).
And as an editor, I would ask that, so that everyone's story ideas are taken into account, that we have the following elements: Zombies (of course, that's what we all decided the general theme was going to be), a writer (this is very broad), and some kind of occult goings on (again, very broad). I believe that these are specific to the point that they can give our story a structure, but so broad they they wont be overbearing.
Anyway, with that out of the way, here's the order (done at random):
Prologue (1200 - 1300 words): wolf Chapter 1 (950 - 1150 words): darkharbinger Chapter 2 (950 - 1150 words): prufrock21 Chapter 3 (950 - 1150 words): Tanith Chapter 4 (950 - 1150 words): myself Chapter 5 (950 - 1150 words): diobolic Epilogue (1200 - 1300): docpain2
The time frame will be a bit flexible with my stewardship (people write at different speeds), but obviously we'll want it done in a timely manner so that it can be released in the lead up to Halloween. You okay with that, Frank osnafrank or would you like it a bit earlier?
Many thanks, folks.
Bringing this post up to our current page, for everyone to refer to as they may need.
