You should have access to it already.

Hmm, I guess figuring out what kind of zombies you want might be a good place to start. That might help you decide what kind of virus. Idk why but I imagine a fungus as something slow and meandering, so I’d think the zombies would be slow too. But I know they’re not portrayed that way on The Last of Us.

I’ll check and read it!

I was thinking of this:
An alien spore travels to Earth on a meteor or rocket or a sample of moonstone the astronauts bring with them. Somehow the spore thrives and grows into these beautiful mushrooms (they’re funghi so yeah. Don’t eat these mushroom). An organization interested and focused on keeping Mother Earth alive for as long as possible, discovers the mushrooms or funghi and starts experimenting. To see if it can help cure diseases or if it’s edible, etc. Due to a chemical reaction between a liquid chemical and the funghi, it releases spores in the air. Contaminating the laboratory and the people inside. At first it just seems a defense meganism from the funghi, simply not liking the chemical it came into contact with. But the reaction it causes in the human body is… well, the humans end up mutated. Having a reaction and changing into a zombie like creature. Feeding on uninfected humans. Of course the virus can be trasmited. Either it’s air born or can be transmited through a bite. The humans, if it’s air born, decide to build this huge tower. Where they live in. The rest of the population gets infected if they don’t make it to the Tower. Earth becomes uninhabitable until a certain point in time, but while being careful, humans still wear gasmasks outside. They still use an air filtering system inside the Tower.

OMG THAT SOUNDS SO COOL! Would be sweet if their feeding was like similar to a plant like they leech all the water out of your or spores attach on you and slowly turn you more like them. I think this is a really unique twist on zombies and you could push the bounds from the typical norm. <3 Excited to read!

Sent you the next two parts for Wolf & Hood- sent the 20-30 by accident but was like well you got it early lol And 11-20. Thank you for the lovely comments on Midnight Lotus too! <3

That sound like a great idea. Sounds solid, like you have a viable plan for the story. I LOVE zombie stuff, but oddly enough haven’t written any myself. So I’d love to read this.

Thanks! rather early than never lol. I’ve been working on the Night of the Fog book too and I must say, it’s kind of refreshing to write “short stories” and then connect them together. No worries about the short story word counts lol

Hey! @Halfley good to hear from you dear! No worries I totally get it! It is trying adding something new to the schedual. Yes stick to one story if that is easier for you! Your story premise sounds awesome sign me up for zombies! Also yussss planning is my least favorite… gotta do that myself.

I believe you already started Blood & Cinders? - My choose your own adventure dark fantasty retelling of cinderella/ beauty and the beast with all the blood.

I also have - if you wanna switch:

  • Wolf & Hood- my modern rom com, retelling of red riding hood with witches, werewolves, sexy CEO’s and a healthy dose of rivals to lovers with some wild side kicks.
  • Midnight Lotus- an egyptian fairytale retelling of the swan princess with magic, mystery, Gods and sexy Pharaohs

Just let me know if you want me to send you anything and happy you back in chat! :slight_smile:

Which chapter are you done with? I’ll add you to the next pile :slight_smile:

Doesn’t wackywriters was suppose to close earlier this year?

Hi everyone! Besides Twisted, I’m actually working on two other projects at the moment, is it ok if I share it with you guys?

Oh dear, I’m so sorry, I forgot to do that.

Hello there :wave:

So, i finished @Vintaginity - Cake Toppers today! Can’t wait for the second book :slight_smile:

@Vintaginity - Cake Toppers - DONE

So I’m gonna read, in that order:

@Shea - Throne of Misery completed - Chapter 19
@KnightofEmpires - Blood and Cinders - Chapter 15+
@TMinx804 - Smear - Chapter 22+
@KnightofEmpires - Midnight Lotus - Chapter 2+
@TMinx804 - Sirens - Chapter 1+
@MargTheCoffeeAddict - Twisted - Chapter 1+

I’m easier for me to read one at a time, otherwise I get mixed-up and confused :joy:
I also added @Erida and @MargTheCoffeeAddict on the first 10 chapters or Ornella’s story.

I’m still on pause to finish that damn first book! Two chapters to go, three max and I’m stalled! I know where I’m going, what to write about, but I feel stuck, as if I have too much content to start the second book (and they are going for a hell of a ride, sorry main characters)
What you guys do when you feel stuck?

Oh, and nd I’m waiting for:
@Norwood515 - The reason Jude exist completed - Awaiting 11+
@Halfley - To Catch a Dream completed Awaiting 2+
@akaiItachi - Spells completed Awaiting 22+

Watch a movie related to the genre of your book! That always helps me!

Hi everyone, sorry, but Erida and I are actually the same person. I created another account because I thought I would have to do that in order to share another project that I’m working on with you guys. So you can remove that account from the group :)) So sorry again for the inconvienience.

I saw you’re waiting on my chapters. You probably missed my message before as there’s been a lot of chat:

So I do have Jude 11-20 in another document, but not updating the current one. I might be back on the official rotation one day as I love this group x

Oups! No worries :slight_smile: Either way, you’ve been added :slight_smile:

Have you outlined it? Sometimes that really helps me to clarify what I want to go where.

Agreed watching a movie in your genre is a good way to get amped up. I- as weird as it sounds- take a hot shower and kinda marinate on where I am stuck and usually an idea will pop in my head or I’ll put a song that fits the mood of the scene and just play it on repeat like some weird hypnosis until words start to come. But I feel ya this most recent book is like pulling teeth to get it out of me.
