Hey guys! We've been going strong for more than a year now and I am grateful to have a small, yet dedicated group of writers on this forum. So I'd like to organize the first community event. The point is to get everyone in one thread together, and to get everyone out of their comfortzone characterwise.
The plan is to create a certain, specific environment with characters who so to speak have an extra level of difficulty added of them but are somehow connected with eachother because they all share the same flaw.
The timeline in which this can happen can be flexible, from the very beginning of the walker apocalypse (Fear the Walking Dead season 1 timeline) to far along in the apocalypse (current Walking Dead season).
Now I have come up with a 3 scenarios, and I'd like it if all of you would take the time to vote for it.
Wackos & Walkers
This will be set at the very beginning of the walker apocalypse. A group of psychiatric patients, from benign people to violent psychopaths, are left behind in the asylum after all the staff has fled. Left alone, they have to rely on eachother to escape the asylum and survive the outside world. In this scenario all characters will suffer from some mental illness or another which will impair their ability to survive or interact with eachother. This is a more serious and violent scenario, close to a horror movie.
The Walking Dorks
This is a Walking Dead meets Revenge of the Nerds kind of scenario set in the early stages of the walker apocalypse as a group of social misfits has to escape their high school, having to kill both their favorite teachers and their bullies. In this scenario all characters are between ages 13-17, are socially inept and absolute nerds giving way for often hilarious scenarios with a lot of referrals to everything that is considered geeky (games, movies, comics, etc...). This is a light and funny scenario, close to a teen comedy.
Children of the Apocalypse
In this scenario all characters can be children to young teenagers left all alone in a specialized school for troubled youth. For those of you who have played Telltale's The Walking Dead Final Season this scenario will sound familiar. This can take place anywhere in the beginning or a good while in the walker apocalypse. Will they stay in the school or take their chances on their outside? In this scenario all characters are between ages 7-15, and have one or more issues that landed them in a special school in the first place. This is a more and serious and dramatic scenario.
Alright, now all you guys need to do is vote! I'll leave this poll for a month, or until everyone has voted. If you did, please post below!
