Hi! I am a 24 year old female from Europe! After years of watching and playing zombie media, I became inspired to write a story that is set in an apocalyptic world, either in the near future or the 90s. I am looking for a creative and laid-back who doesn’t mind OOC (out-of-character) talk and planning. I enjoy brainstorming ideas and discussing plot twists. Planning is really important to me because I believe it helps create a more cohesive story. I like to map out characters, key events, and references to ensure everything flows smoothly, so keep that in mind and don't expect us to jump straight into the story. The main themes would mostly be horror, survival, and action. I'd really want to capture the tension of a world overrun by a vicious threat. Romance is also accepted, but not as a plot-driving device.
Here is a premise I had in mind:
It was New Year's Eve, and everyone was charged with the energy of the celebrations to come. Flu season was in full swing, but the holidays were enough to push concerns aside. People bundled up in scarves and hats, flocked to Times Square to witness the iconic ball drop. By evening, Times Square was a sea of people pressed together. Music was loud in the speakers, and giant screens encouraged everyone to consume. The first reports started trickling in as the countdown to midnight began, subtle at first. A call for help here, a crazed person there. Security footage showed a man collapsing, convulsing, and then rising with an unnatural gait. He lunged at those around him. Then the ball dropped, and confetti rained down, marking the beginning of a new age...
This is just a basic contextualization I had in mind for the story. I am not set on this particular location or period of time, as I would prefer to give you the freedom to share any ideas you may get!
