Zombie Apocalypse | 1D Group Write

@ ace merrill.

This is always the hardest thing for me, I'm horrible at figuring out story names.

I like Fatal Flaw, it could allude to the fatal flaw that probably led the world to be like this and all the fatal flaws of the different characters that move the story along.

@ bibles.

Yeah!
Like for Michael and Grace, they act like it's a game and they're not serious enough for the world, and that'll end up killing them.

@ ace merrill.
Yes!

@ Katie Mosing
@ bibles.

OK, Fatal Flaw it is, because I just put it on the banner. And I'm screaming.
story page!

does it look too girly?
I was kind of aiming for... a horror, romance-ish vibe.

@ ace merrill.
The banner looks really good! I love it!

"I also read through your points, do you think you can switch Liam with Louis? to be with the girls before they meet Zayn, or after?" I'm sorry, I'm a little confused about what you're saying but I'd be happy to change whatever! How did you want the group?

@ Katie Mosing
Ah, sorry if I was unclear with whatever.

Quote

- Phoebe and Jenny got paired up as roommates their freshman year and were friends ever since. They were never best friends and had other friends besides each other, but they were still close.
- Liam, Phoebe and Jenny were in a group together for a small while before they grouped up with Zayn. Zayn came across Liam, Phoebe and Jenny in the midst of a zombie attack. Zayn was on the roof of a small building, trying to take out a hoard of zombies, when he saw Liam, Phoebe and Jenny trying to fight off the zombies. Liam was doing the best that he could, but Jenny was little help and Phoebe was no help at all. Zayn helped them by shooting some of the zombies from the roof, and when he'd killed them all, Zayn went down to see if they were all okay. He then joins their group.

OK, the Liam part, switch it with Louis? So Louis is the one who starts off with Phoebe and Jenny. And maybe Jenny could be Louis's girlfriend from the beginning as well? If that works out? Jenny could be trying to keep Louis's hopes up about Grace being alive, while Liam (when he enters) doesn't believe that she is alive. Liam could be the newest addition.

@ ace merrill.
That works for me! So when would I have Zayn enter?

@ Katie Mosing
Zayn could enter when he helps them out? What you have for point two is good! The starting point is nine months, so... I don't know. Haha, sometime during then. Liam could join in the 7th or 8th month.

@ ace merrill.
So do you want Liam to enter the group first or Zayn to enter the group first?

@ Katie Mosing
Zayn. If that works? (I feel like I'm being bossy I'm sorry!)

@ ace merrill.
No, you're fine How is he going to go about joining the group?

@ Katie Mosing
Er... Zayn or Liam?

@ ace merrill.
Liam?

@ Katie Mosing
OH!

Um... I don't know. The only thing that's coming to mind is that they've come across his hide out, and maybe they would exchange something for something, and then they got run out all together and it continued. Do you have any ideas?

@ ace merrill.
That's not bad! I don't know what you were doing with Liam and Grace's romance but maybe they get attacked and Liam is getting ready to part ways with the group when he finds one of Louis's pictures of Grace and then Louis tells him all about her and he decides he wants to help save her? Kind of like in that Nicholas Sparks book/movie

If you don't like that I could come up with something else!

So the groups are as stands:

Group One: Grace and Michael
Group Two: Liam, Louis, Phoebe, Jenny and Zayn
Group Three: Niall, Juliet and Harry

Right? And I think since group two is so big, Grace and Michael should run into Niall, Juliet and Harry before they find Louis and everyone else. Maybe they could run into each other when both groups are scavenging in the same large store and when they run into each other it's very tense and Harry has to use some stupid joke to keep anyone from accidentally shooting.

And I thought it would be cool if both Grace and Louis had someplace they were heading, like a place they both wanted to go when they were younger or a place they used to go to as children and when one group gets there it's empty and they're leaving when they find the other group.

@ Katie Mosing
YEAH, I LIKE THAT. Louis can be like, "Hey man, I know that I might be asking for too much, but maybe you can stick around and help me find my sister? blah blah blah, this is her.." [shows picture]

OMG, AND WHEN HE RUNS INTO THEM AT THE SHOP, THAT COULD BE ANOTHER WAY FOR HIM TO PROVE THAT HE KNOWS LOUIS, and he'll like whip out her picture, and she's like.. whoa dude.

@ bibles.
OK, that works! I was planning to rewrite my chapters to fit around whatever we all discuss.. so it's good! And I wanna build up the anticipation as much as I could for the reunion, which I hope I'd be able to deliver.

I also like how Harry will be the comic relief, we'll definitely need that!

And.. are we going to have the story take place in the UK?
... and do we know who is all going to end up dying? I'm going to be making Grace and Michael as badass as I could (with a limit), and they both die sometime in the story.
@ Katie Mosing

@ ace merrill.

I think the UK because 1) it's smaller and you could get across it faster 2) it's closer to the boys in real life.

I've been debating with myself and I kind of want Niall to die. I have an old chapter hidden away somewhere that would be awesome for a death scene between Juliet and Niall. I'm just not sure how far into the story it should be.

@ bibles.
I think the UK would be good too. It would be especially good for our cute little bed and breakfast!

Oh my gosh Niall I think you could give him a good and honorable death. We could find a way to space out our 3 deaths for maximum effect on our readers. I'm not sure exactly when Calli is killing Michael or Grace. Or even how long we want the story to be actually

@ ace merrill.
That is so perfect! It is going to be so sad and cute and romantic

I don't think I'm going to have Phoebe or Zayn die, but I don't mind if you want to kill off Jenny!

What POV are we writing this in and is each chapter going to be from our OC's POV?

@ bibles.
@ ace merrill.
If we want, we could sort of do what the Walking Dead does. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who noticed this, but like every time they kill off a character, they introduce a new one either immediately before or immediately after their death. We could do that if we don't want our group numbers to dwindle too much, or we could just have the group get smaller!
