Thank you! *gleefully uses the zombie!Lizzie icon that's been held in abeyance forever before now* Oh, God, I just. This story? In my head, and I had to get it out, no matter the level of creepy.

Also: OMG, you're alive! It's nice to see you out and about online! How have things been?

and this is totally good. like, really.

Thank you! Again! *twirls* I'm so very glad you like it!

though, I think you're missing a "what" here:

*frowns at story* I am missing a "what" there. *fixes* This is what I get for adding a line five minutes before I post, I guess. :) Thanks for catching that for me!

dude. I hear you on having to get zombie!fic out of your head. I've been slowly working on a long-ass one over the last couple of months, and. I freak myself the hell out every time I work on it.

and. things have been, you know, things. I've been around, but just lurking so as to keep some sanity. but I figured I could speak up for good fic, you know? :)

love the icon!

[havocthecat]

Ooh, you're writing zombie!fic? (If you end up needing a beta, I would gleefully do so.) Is it horribly creepybadwrong fic? Because that's awesome.

And I understand the attempts to preserve sanity. I so understand that.

Okay, incredibly cool fic, but also: Ew. Zombies are always fun. :D

[havocthecat]

Oh, dude, much with the ew. Totally. But I agree on the zombies always being fun!

Best zombie story from zombie's point of view I've read thus far. You could go all Anne Rice and write the Zombie Chronicles.

[havocthecat]

Oh, thank you! Though I don't know how much I'd be able to bring sympathy to a zombie story, though, I have to admit.

[half_elf_lost]

This is a chilling and wonderful piece.

[havocthecat]

Thank you very much!

Dude... freaky as hell but so good. zombie!lizzie is still all possessive and "john is mine damn it!" and how much do I love that?

poor john. but being eaten by elizabeth? not a bad way to go...

[havocthecat]

Dude... freaky as hell but so good.

Thank you! *glees* And yes, very freaky. This is the problem with me saying "I wonder if I can write this and do it well?" I inevitably try to do stuff like write zombie fic from the zombie POV. And also make it shipper fic.

zombie!lizzie is still all possessive and "john is mine damn it!" and how much do I love that?

She really is! He's totally hers. In all kinds of different ways, apparently. *pats them gingerly and from a distance*

poor john. but being eaten by elizabeth? not a bad way to go...

*snicker* I was telling someone what I was writing, and said, "When I say 'Elizabeth eats John,' I don't mean it in a dirty way for this fic." *facepalms at self* God. What did I ever do in a past life to get a twisted brain inflicted on me?

(BTW, you writing anything right now? I saw your email too late to hop on IM and ask you there.)
