Zombie Fest Round 2014 Prompt Submission Post - CLOSED
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”
― Seth Grahame-Smith, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Please comment here with your zombi_fic_ation prompts. Prompt submission will be open until Sunday April 27th , after which we'll compile a Master List and open prompt claiming on Monday.
Rules: destroy the brain or remove the head
Formatting your prompts.
To make things easier for everyone please use the following format: Fandom -- characters, pairings -- prompt
DON'T fill out the subject line. And if you're submitting multiple prompts, you CAN put them all into one comment, but please number them and organize them by fandom.
Examples: (Look familiar? Yes, I'm just using the same old prompts, lol.)
1. BBC Sherlock -- John Watson/D.I. Lestrade -- Trapped on the roof, surrounded by the walking undead. They have to figure out a way to get out, stay alive, and find Sherlock.
2. Supernatural -- Dean/Castiel -- angels can't be infected but they can be carriers (this one got written last round, guys, and it was AWESOME)
3. Supernatural -- Sam, Dean, Bobby -- Dean's always said that Bobby's junkyard was a deathtrap waiting to happen… Good thing Sam is a genius and zombies are dumb.
4. CROSSOVER Torchwood/Shaun of the Dead -- Jack/Suzie, Liz/Shaun/Ed -- In the aftermath, Torchwood is cleaning up the mess and they've come for Ed.
5. Any Fandom/Original -- A mother raising a zombie child.
If you're reposting a prompt from a previous round please include the round and prompt number from the prompt list, like so:
6. REPOST round 2013, 267. Sanctuary -- Helen, Ashley -- they found a colony of zombies on an island in the middle of nowhere. (I just grabbed the first one off the list. You may also add amendments to the prompt if you're reposting an old one.)
OK? It helps when organizing the filled prompts later on.
If you post a prompt, but then decide to come back and submit more, please post a NEW comment, don't edit your existing comment. That way we won't miss any.
NOTE: This is a ZOMBIE fest, so gore is likely on the table (pun intended). Prompts may contain references to scenarios which might be potential squicks/triggers for some. Please consider this a general warning that you enter at your own risk. Mods reserve the right to exclude any prompt from the final list, for any reason, and our decision on such matters is final.
Spoiler Policy! Since this is a multi-fandom fest, we think it's pretty impossible to avoid spoilers for absolutely everything ever. So, anything that has already aired or is currently available is fair game, but no details about canon that hasn't aired or been officially released. If you wish to err on the side of caution, use the LJ Spoiler Cut, and specify which episode/season/film/book to which you will be referring.
EX: Game of Thrones/ASoIaF -- Any -- [Spoilers Book 4, A Feast for Crows] A thing that happens in that book.
Questions? If you have any questions about prompting or the fest in general, please ask them at the FAQ page to keep this post clear for prompts. Or contact the mods via PM (undeadhead_mod) or email (zombificationmods@gmail).
IT IS TIME! GO GO GO!
**ETA: I forgot to incorporate this into the rules: please don't abreviate your fandoms. Write out the full name like "Supernatural" instead of "SPN" or "Teen Wolf" instead of "TW" - obviously I know these ones. You can still just use "Buffy/Buffyverse" or "Harry Potter" instead of writing out the whole title, but don't use BtVS or HP - it makes it much harder when compiling the list of prompts because I am not familiar with all of them and we want the master post of prompts to be as clear as possible.
Also, please refrain from using hyperlinks in your prompts. It makes the whole copy/paste process that much more tedious for me. If you have to link to something, just paste the link in parentheses like so (http://zombi-fic-ation.livejournal.com/).
Thank you! And keep it up.
