That's the perfect title for the story you're going to submit!
Goat - Thanks for the support. I thought with you being part goat that you would appreciate something different. Submissions are open to everyone, even goats.
DWM - I thought about using that title, but I felt that it excluded the female readership.
TBE - That would be a good title for a story. I hope you are considering a story also.
Neat. I'm definatley gonna work on something for this. I've gotten a nice little following for my LGBT fiction. Never written a queer zombie story before. Should be fun.
I'm not sure if I've discussed this with you specifically, Mr. Bill, but you're fine with nontraditional zombies, right? I'm trying to think of something bizzare and out there that involves a 'zombie,' but not one we normally see.
I sent a PM with almost exactly the same question a little bit ago. Great minds and all that.
That's the perfect title for the story you're going to submit!

Is that a challenge sir?

The gaultlet has been thrown down, sir. I would not want to prove myself a coward, and I shall rise to the occasion!
Zombies with teh gay? OMG this is awesome! I mean fabulous!
Hey Kody, I'll write your tranny zombie on a deserted island story now.
I'll run over and post this one the FB page.
-Tim
Perfect! I now have a story to write!
Damn - I have an idea that fits, but unfortunately it already has a home...wish I had time right now to come up with another one! Well, I will spread the word about this Zombology. It should be a great one.
ah, but Mr. Dunwoody, this submission has just opened...there is time sir, there is time.
Yes, you can use any kind of zombie you can come up with. Creativity is encouraged!

Does this include sentient zombies too? As in ones who happen to be undead but aren't shambling slaves to the call of fresh entrails?
I have to ask because I have some zombie characters I've been meaning to write a story about and it would fit this submissions call. :)
