Snerfflebarglast : Round One

What’s in a name?

August (okay, the butt end of July) is not too early to start thinking of NaNo. Many people have entire worlds created and characters developed and whole story lines planned. I’ve never done that, I’ve always gone with the true spirit of NaNo, starting off November 1st with NO IDEA what I was going to end up with. And thus, my stories have a weird, meandering quality to them. But not this time! (right… what’s an ark?) This time I have a plan, and will have a more fully formed plan by November 1st (stay with me, this is going somewhere!).

Since NaNo stories are crap anyway, I’m going to indulge in my inner child (uh, and challenge myself as a writer by writing in second-person, yeah, that’s it) and write a Choose Your Own Adventure story. It’s going to be about ZOMBIES. And, as a Choose Your Own Adventure story, it needs its own blog so I can make it all link-tastic.

And this is where you come in. I need a NAME for that blog! A cool, zombie-like name that’s not already taken.

So, your first task it to come up with no more than THREE possibilities for a ‘Zombie Choose Your Own Adventure’ blog that are not currently taken on LJ (to find out if a name is taken do a search for the name and if it comes up as ‘does not exist’ it’s good. It cannot be a previously used and then deleted name). I will ‘test’ the names as you submit them, and even if the ‘best’ name is taken in the intervening time (between your submittal and my closing the contest) it can still win the contest.

Pictures, pictures, pictures.

I keep saying I'll take a picture of the *real* Smeddley, and I finally did!
