I've been inundated by so many zombie shows on TV recently that I got a weird AU Saiyuki thought from it that I don't think I'll follow through on.

It doesn't shy away from gore and violence, but I was annoyed by the occasional application of shaky cam and some of the big sections of desaturated colors because they've become such a lazy cliche.

[viridian5]

Still, I don't like to write stories where people get eaten that way!

[lady_ganesh]

I feel like there could be some weird thing with how kappa traditionally eat worked in there for extra wtfery....

[viridian5]

Surely! I fully support other people writing it. *g*
