[QUOTE="Ampolitor, post: 3743330, member: 11758"] Well I've been writing stuff (non published) for a bit, I literally have 10 to 20 leather journals full of short stories. Anyway I've been kicking the idea of getting my own zombie horror book self published but I want to know what you guys like. Me I like the traditional Romero type zombies, even the runners like in the remake of Dawn. What do you guys like in the stories? and what are things that you are tired of seeing or thats been done to death. I had one story which was set in a homemade RPG world, kinda like the terminator meets dawn of the dead....lol.
