ZombieHorde: Contests & Challenges

[CLOSED] Z-Fic Novella

'One can never have too much Z-Fic.'

- the WattpadZombies team

That's right, it might not be a famous quote, nor one ever spoken by anyone except us, but that doesn't make it any less true. And as it is, indeed, true, we want to help you write your next epic zombie story.

The Deets

Below, you'll find a list of linked pages - don't worry, they all link to a page on our profile! In fact, each link will take you to one or other of the pages that feature in our To Shelter... Or Not! book. Check them out, and you'll see they're all locations (suitable, or not) where a group might potentially make their base during the upcoming and inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

To write your next epic zombie story, we're challenging you to make use of three of those locations over the course of a 20K novella - the first 12-15K (roughly, we're not going to enforce a hard number as it's your story, after all) should take place with the first location as your group's base of operations, while the final 5-8K (again, this depends entirely upon your story) should take place with the second location as your group's base. The third location, which can appear at any point during your story, should be the location of an enemy group's base.

But how do you choose which locations to use? Well, that's where things get interesting, because you don't actually get to choose! In an idea totally stolen from the team working the ZombisES profile (big shout-out to you folks!) those locations have already been selected for you, and it all depends upon which month you signed up for your Wattpad account (if you don't know, you can find it right at the bottom of your own profile bio). So if like us you signed up in the month of March, your pre-selected locations would be as follows:

March: Location #3, Location #9, Location #10
