Fanwork Notes

There are at least three parts planned: A Grey Matter, White Lies, and Blackout. While the primary inspiration was The Walking Dead, there are numerous homages to other zombie films. This story does borrow some of my own headcanon and 'verse stories as depicted in some previous fanworks (such as A Reunion in Dor Dínen), but it's not necessary to read them to understand this fic.

UPDATE 12/29/24: It's been nearly ten years since I first posted this fic on Silmarillion Writers' Guild and I finally made the transfer over to AO3. Even after all of this time, this fic holds a very special place in my heart. I would like to continue it some day—yes, even ten years later—as I hate to see a work left unfinished and it holds so much memories for me. Very recently I rediscovered rough outlines of Parts 2 and 3 so who knows? Maybe that day will come! For now I am quiet busy with Like a Space Lion, but I have not forgotten this other nutty little AU/crossover/fusion darling of mine. 💕

Holy heck, this is so amazingly creative and well-written! I don't even really *like* zombines but this gripped me from the beginning and I love seeing all the various character interactions (particularly of characters we wouldn't see interacting otherwise). And so many of my favourite lady characters, too, from Idril to Nellas to Luthien. I'll have to check out your other fics soon while I wait for the other parts you mentioned. :)
