Zombie!Crack for the Procrastinator’s Soul

[meddow]

I’ve got to get this out of my system. Ever since I came up with It’s About the Company I’ve been thinking about Zombie!Scott of the Antarctic. Seriously, how awesome would it be:-

"Oi. Seen Oates anywhere?"
"Said he was just going outside and that he may be some time."
"Never mind, here he is now."
"BRAINS!"

You’ve got an epic true story of doomed British explorers, the greatest last words ever and zombies. All you need to do is add a tap-dancing penguin and you have a movie the whole family can enjoy.

I write one little piece of zombie!crack and it completely takes over my brain. Not cool.

Okay, back to work now.

Hello -- just a quick note to say your journal intrigues me

[lastwordy-mcgee.livejournal.com]

I've added you to my friends list, and I look forward to reading your fics. I'm somewhat new to the world of fanfic, myself, though I recently took the plunge and starting posting a PotC2 Norrington fic on the jack_norrington community. It's nerve wracking! LOL.

anyway, just wanted to let you know.

Hi and welcome :D

I started posting fic over a year ago now and I’d love to tell you it gets easier but I still get incredibly nervous in that time between posting and the first review.

I was totally on edge before posting, since my fic is OFC (originally I thought it was "Mary Sue", but I was corrected), and I know some "hardcore" ficcers really frown on such.

Half my PotC fics have been from an OFC’s perspective and neither have had complaints. I think PotC is not half as bad as Harry Potter since there are less female characters in Pirates and the fandom is mindful of it and so won’t complain too much if they are well written and believable. The problem is trying to get people to read the fic in the first place to realise that.

*Resolves to track down your fic when I’ve got the time*

Word. The people who have been kind enough to read my fic seem to really like it, so I am pleased. I do hope you have time to read it. It's ongoing, in chapters. Please do let me know when you can give it a read, and comment if you are so inclined.

DO IT.

Oh I will, as soon as I have a few million dollars, some camera equipment and an all-star cast.

Crap. Now I’m mentally casting my fictitious movie. I'm never going to get any serious work done today.
