Can't wait to read it .

You mean you haven't yet? =P

Computer's getting all loopy on me with the downloads again, I'll read it once its fixed.

I must say, it was interesting reading the story. It would also seem like you and I would make good friends, should we meet.

Time will tell if that be true.

heheh...


with baited breath...

I like this one. Sets up an interesting apocalyptic situation. I'm kinda tired of zombies anyway- they drool on my furniture.

I'd like to see werewolves versus zombies, if only 'cause I know the werewolves would do a handy job slaughtering the mobs.

On the other hand... I wouldn't go so far as to pronounce them immune. If both are caused by a disease, God knows what will happen if their blood mixes.

Potentially nothing. If the werewolf DNA alters the target of the zombie virus sufficiently, then werewolves couldn't be affected by the zombie virus. If, on the other hand, it makes them more susceptible, there's gonna be some problems.

My imagining is that it'd slightly mutate the werewolf... for all of maybe five minutes. Perhaps some quirk of the werewolf immune system causes the zombie virus to be lethal to them, but not immediately. Instead, you get the Berzerker, an old legend of men who could transform into bears... or at least fight like them. But too much of that mode and even the werewolf dies.

Now imagine getting zombie juice in your blood is like dumping Nitro into the biological engine that activates said mode... and jams the throttle open.

Now you've got an already dangerous werewolf gaining a couple pounds, depleting all his or her energy reserves, and start laying waste to anyone and anything around them. At least until their heart gives out. Or some other vital organ. In any case, it would mean the werewolves can't afford to be too careless while fighting zombies. 'Course, by the time the body's immune system is done fighting off the infection, it's already consumed too much of the body, so at least they don't have to worry about zombie werewolves rising up. Might resurrect a dead werewolf for a bit, but they won't be rampaging for long.

Then again... I'm kinda sick of zombies. They're everywhere. I'd like a post-apocalyptic setting where the cause isn't zombies or nukes. Not robots either; that's been done. I'd like something that's been caused by social forces, like some sort of politics that makes things unstable enough that they collapse. Of course, that may be a little too close to the truth to make people comfortable.

In any case, perhaps I should write a story based on this. It could prove interesting.

What about a, a not-apocalypse? Um, a post-post-apocalypse, the reconstruction? The perfect fuel for growth of new ideas, the wars of dying ones, the growth of even countries into new entities?

That'd be interesting too. Could even do a series about the people who survived and their descendents over the years. That might make for an interesting read.
