Yeah, ditto - these ficathons is how Ruth is snaring me into fandom. I'll read stuff, and I've always watched, you know, fandomy shows and read fandomy books, but I tend to like restricting my fandom to my terms, I guess. I'm a fandom introvert. (I grew up on BtVS, but I'm only just starting Doctor Who, which is what Ruth was not-so-subtly complaining about above.)
I will have to check those out! Yes, the Hunger Games series was pretty much full of stock characters with pretty much singular characteristic personalities. But I think mostly I missed having a quick, readable series to get lost in. Collins' prose was nothing remarkable either, but still fun. But yes, will look up your rec. I LOVE me some zombies and good characterization. Thank you!
