When Zombies Attack!!!

[longmanshort]

As I said, I was just rambling ... but yes, I meant non-horror. It was certainly my first encounter with voodoo ;o)

[longmanshort]

Actually, a piece on the evolution of the zombie film wouldn't go amiss, if someone would like to do it - they obviously don't start and stop at Dawn of the Dead!

- I'm glad you got better.  ;-)

"they obviously don't start and stop at Dawn of the Dead!"

Started at Night of the living dead, will end soon.

WANTED: SCRIPT MONKEY!

I have an offer from an artist to do a one-page strip for this issue over the Christmas break, but I need a one page script!!!

A writer with a natty idea who would get it to me within the next fortnight will be richly rewarded with a mince pie .... OF DOOM!!!!

Sendmail me ASAP and I'll put you both in touch!!

Cheers

[Conexus]

Sent you one , an eight panel one page strip. It's a (reletively old joke, but what the hey, as long as none of your other contributers have done it (which they may have done) /I hope it'll be okay

[longmanshort]

Thanks very much for that, mate. Have replied.

As for the rest of you - don't think this lets you off the hook! I want more, more, MORE!!!!! ;o)

'Mess not with... The Bad Hair Zombies...!'

Yes, yes, still coming soon *mutter*.

whooppee zombies, gotta love those undead dudes.

[El Spurioso]

Might I suggest someone gets in touch with the lovely Gemma-devotee-of-Boo, if she hasn't already seen this, as she's big on the Vodoun religion and might therefore be able to help.

I've also got pages and pages of notes on "real life" zombies here for , which are probably useless if you're only interested in the shuffling evil fictional kind, but are easily summarised if it helps.

Zombies and apocalypses (apocalypsii?), for what it's worth, both receive the Spurious seal of approval.

Wow, just got into my office to find an inbox absolutely jam-packed with offers of work. I will reply to each and every one of them, but give me a mo and I've got to fit in some pesky work around it all ;o)

But that doesn't mean the rest of you are off the hook! Keep the ideas coming! At the moment I have particular need for more articles, reviews and scripts.

One area I need offers for is the Zombie Survival Guide - was thinking art along the lines of the kind you'd get in one of those aircraft safety cards - so anyone with some nice design skills who's up for the task would be good. I need short, snappy articles that sound completely serious but deal with the very sticking problem of zombies - how to avoid becoming one yourself, what to do during an infestation, what NOT to do, how to clean up after them, how to keep and care for a zombie, alternative uses for zombies etc etc It would be a special pull-out segment in the middle of the mag - so need plenty of good stuff!

Oh, and before I forget ...

LONGMAN CALLING GEM! LONGMAN CALLING GEM! ZOMBIEEEEEEES!!!

Damn, didn't work ... anyone got her e-mail address?

[Dudley]

Koom Skree - "Gem" - Sendmail.

[longmanshort]

I know, but have come to not entirely trust sendmail as several recent e-mails have gone astray ...

[Dudley]

OK, well let me know if it doesn't get through as I've got her address somewhere at home.

What you need is to find a messageboarder who just happens to be a graphic designer.
