Monster: That advice is similar to what I tell other aspiring authors but, like many other writers, I find it hard to heed my own advice! I agree wholeheartedly, though. It's better to write than to spend months thinking about what you're going to write and not doing it because you'll read it and hate it.

SyrianHamster: Sounds like a win-win situation! Most of the RPs I've been in never have deaths. I think people are going to create some amazing, lovable characters and then kill them off... it'll be devastating but fantastic.

Does anyone have suggestions for the name of this RP? Should it be original or should we just call it The Walking Dead: Chicago? I'll be the first to say that that title would be extremely generic but I think it'd relay the content and nature of the RP to anyone who reads those four words. It'd probably help us recruit more members and make the RP much deeper. I'll keep the OOC story outline the same as the one I did in the OP so that we're not bogged down in canon.
