ZOMBIE KING!!!!

Ergghhhhhhh! I don't know where to start with this. I'm not entirely sure if I'll ever read anything ever again that will tick all my boxes. Vince in peril and zombies! It's my kind of perfect

Thank you so much for reviewing! And you got all my references! And and I have complete faith in you to deliver a killer chapter. Thank you!

Am now on my computer so can comment properly. The LJ app is rubbish.

Thank you for this, I second what worriedeye said, it's all kinds of brilliant and full of wondrously funny lines in between the genuine horror and repulsiveness of the zombies! I laughed and laughed when I realised that Naboo had given Vince the same ultimatum as Howard but, of course, hadn't seen fit to tell either of them that the other was feeling the same way... and this line is another absolute gem:
'...the little Howard voice in the back of his head just begged not to be killed because it had so much to give until his brain cell locked it back in the cupboard for it’s own safety.'
I do love the way you write Vince's point of view, you have got so convincingly inside his mind and his thought processes and the whole way the world looks through his eyes.
Can't wait to see where this story goes next, you've set the stage for a climactic cliffhanger of a scene and no mistake!

Thank you so much. I find Vince easiest to write, possibly because I too have a single, mirrorball suit wearing braincell, but thank you so much for reviewing. And I'm glad I managed to make you laugh.

Oh my word it's the Zombie King that didn't even cross my mind when I wrote the opening but it's such a perfect logical conclusion and it's so Booshy having an atmosphere of Noel playing several characters ahh you genius you!

Your Vince is such a perfect balance between terrified and still slightly irritable (and thinking about Howard at a time of crisis classic Vince). And the ocelot jumper made a comeback which made me grin and grin. And Naboo giving Vince the same ultimatum YOU BOYS you're such morons!!

I love this and you are wonderful. Can't wait for the update.

Ooh, thank you! I was worried that I'd takes the story in the wrong direction and you'd all look at it and think "what is this?" but the Zombie King just wouldn't leave me alone. Glad you liked it!

I think the others have already mentioned my favorite parts, but wow! It's such a dead on Boosh horror story! I kind of makes me think of Old Gregg when he first appeared and I actually remember feeling worried about Howard (who did die in series one after all). Vince is surely the most beautiful maid in the land and now Howard has to save him from a fate worse than death!

Thank you mysterious one!

Ahhhhh, I love this on so many levels, for so many reasons! This is just turning into a really bang-up year for the Halloween Special of Doom, and I'm having so much fun reading it. :)

I am so happy that you brought Vince back into it and did a bit from his perspective, because you really understand him and the way he thinks, and the voice here is so perfectly in character. (Plus, I must agree with worriedeye: Vince all disheveled and in a bit of peril is irresistible!) The bit about him running to the upper floor of Topshop and fashioning weapons out of leggings and coat hangers and stilettos is absolutely Vincey, both as a Cockney ragamuffin with a strong survival instinct and as a problem-solver with a knack for repurposing things. (It's also very Booshy!)His regrets about not being nicer about Howard's wardrobe were genuinely sweet, and I absolutely love him escaping to his Happy Place fantasy world in order to cope, because that's Vince all over. (Also, it sounds a lot like the first series of the Boosh

I had a bit of a fangirl moment just now when I realised bluestocking79 had read, liked and reviewed my bit! Thank you! I'm glad it all came across as properly Booshy and that you liked the Spit on your Rave direction. I am also excited to see how the story will go.

Awwwww! That's so sweet of you! Believe me, it was my pleasure to read and review this. <3
