The Comm for LoM Zom Rom-Com

I am no zomromcomlomcom mod, but I just learnt about this and thought some of you flesh-eating types might enjoy knowing too.

Zombie Bang (zombiebang) is a mini-Bang that requires a minimum commitment of 5,000 words from its writers.

Sadly, turns out the deadline for writers to sign up has come and gone (the last date was July 8th), but the artist sign-ups are open until September 12th. So if you love drawing zombies... now's your chance!

And you can bet I'll be keeping a [barely attached] ear open for the beginning of next year's Bang. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a LoM fic or two in the bunch?

OK, a few months late here, but as zombies say: BRAAAIIIINS!

Yes, the zombie challenge on 1973flashfic has been and gone... but why not go here to feast on the remains?

Entries include Andromeda's infamous wonderful ficlet He's a Rotten Kind of Cute.

Further to spastic_visions post yesterday, zombie_fest prompts are now live!

Rules are on the prompt post - mainly, responses to prompts are to be posted in the comm and then linked to as a response to the relevant prompt.

We've only one Life on Mars prompt on zombie_fest so far. We need more!

(I'll keep a running tally here, if that's going to be easier for fest participants.)

Sam/Gene, "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off."

any pairing, Christmas night of the living dead

Sam, when he thinks of it, zombies aren't all that much stranger than time travel.

(I *still* need to get myself some zombie!LoM icons. *sigh*)

I feel like this com would be of much interest to you all here:

STYLE/WARNINGS: The combination of the title and the fact I'm writing this specifically for zomromcomlomcom should tell you all you need to know about "style" and/or "warnings."
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Some of you knew this was coming. I'm only hoping those of you who knew ahead of time brought extra flak jackets for the rest of the class. ;)

Well, it's Friday and my brain hurts. So I'm challenging you all to come up with terrible puns in the all-new David Bowie Zombification challenge.

sethur has started us off with Afterlife on Mars (which is now the subtitle for the comm!), can you come up with anything even more punworthy???

This is such a strange culmination of my obsessions: Jamie Hewlett, Test Card Girl, Zombies, LoM, Murdoc...

Jamie Hewlett's take on TCG!

Hewlett is such a confirmed zombite.... who knew he was enjoying LoM as well!

Title: Call Me Irresponsible
Rating: Red Cortina
Word Count: 4,585 words.
Notes: Sam/Gene. Title from the Frank Sinatra song. ♥ This was written specifically for zomromcomlomcom. It follows on from Strangers in the Night and Night and Day, and probably doesn't make much sense without those being read first.
Warning: Contains violence, character death, and gore.
Summary: "I don't like this," Chris muttered. "It's too quiet."

"You didn't just say that!" Sam hissed. "Next you're gonna say you forgot your pet dog Chuffy, and you've just got to go back!"
