Whee!!! Likey likey, good stuff. ;-D

[brennayovanoff]

Thank you :) (I like your icon, by the way, and relate to it rather profoundly)

[alessandriana]

Gah, that's creepy. *shiver*

[brennayovanoff]

Thanks--I'm finally getting around to revealing my zombie fixation ;)

[eshakespear]

woah.

freaky awesome.

[brennayovanoff]

Thanks--I'm glad you liked it!

[dreams_of_wings]

WANT MORE!!!

[brennayovanoff]

Haha--I can even *sort* of oblige: my recently-accepted short story features the same world, although slightly beyond the point of apocalypse. It's tentatively supposed to appear in Strange Horizons early next year.

That is completely terrifying.

I love the phrase 'dark, gleeful thing'. That's horror, right there, in a nutshell.

[tessagratton]

Ditto on the "dark, gleeful thing." It's very.. Anglo-Saxon. Which I know to most people doesn't sound like a compliment. But totally is.

Thanks! Horror is my second greatest passion, running a close second to YA.

In fact, some days, I lament the fact that trashy YA horror is just not popular the way it was in the days when I was eleven and had to battle the librarian to get my Christopher Pike books.
