I LOVE THIS FIC!

And I hate zombies.

Go figure.

I'm glad I could overcome your hatred of zombies. And that you didn't hate me for making you beta it. *g*

Woo-hoo!!!! It's here - the lads running amok in a zombie apocalypse. Bookmarking this one for tonight - can't wait!!

Can't wait to hear what you think. *g*

What a great start! And what a mistake to start it when I have a deadline.

przed September 22 2010, 01:52:25 UTC

Glad I've intrigued you. And hey, the fic will be waiting for you after the deadline.

There may be spoilers in the comment! Beware!

*I was very, very reluctant to even start this, but you had me after the first few sentences, and I breathlessly read through the whole thing last night, believing every word!
It was terrifying and heartbreaking and glorious.
I detested Willis before, but here I cheered when "you know what" happened (trying to not spoil things too badly).
Bodie's struggle to save Doyle at the hospital and thinking he had lost him, and Ray never once accepting the fact that Bodie was likely dead was heart wrenching to watch. Especially Bodie, who had no hope.

All my life, I've managed to avoid zombie movies, but am glad I didn't avoid this one (and I did *see* it all in my mind. Your writing is so alive.).
And there desperately needs to be a sequel!!!

Awww, you are too kind. And I'm very glad you soldiered on in spite of the whole zombie thing. (I started writing this when I woke up completely freaked out after a nightmare that involved zombies, so I can definitely sympathize.)

I have to admit, I was rather pleased to administer Willis' fate. And I'm very glad to hear that the emotional stuff with the lads worked. (I can't believe I wrote another long story with the two of them apart.)

As for a sequel, I've already started on one. It has a title and a plot and everything. ::headdesk::

siskiou September 22 2010, 02:26:56 UTC

Oh, YAY! You started a sequel! :)

Well, there's Pride and Prejudice with Zombies, and now Professionals with Zombies! LOL

I confess, I hate zombies. There's just something ... messy .. about them I can't stand.

Very atmospheric, post-apocalyptic feel to it all. Very like 28 Days Later. Enjoyed it.

I am glad you enjoyed it, even if you don't like zombies. (I wouldn't say I like zombies, but they're one of the few horror tropes I seem capable of watching.)

My Other Half loves zombie films, so I usually end up watching by default. Making unhelpful comments like, "That's not possible without a fully functional central nervous system....." LOL!
