I prefer how the story turned out, just Nate, Vaughan and Charles Charlie. Yeah me too. The extra girl only worked when I didn't actually have a concrete plot. .... Can I just say, I fucking love your story. I mean really, I LOVE it. That's all. I'll probably never be able to top that with my writing.

Yeah, I like it this way too. And wasn't there a girl too young for Nate, which he wanted to fuck in that camp? I already forgot a lot of the story, I need to read to new version. And I've just reminded myself about the "Ask Vaughan and Charlie" thread on the old forum. We managed to get it to like 150 pages. Good times. Like I said before, it's probably a good idea if you read the new version because it's much better written than the original. I'm thinking that I'll post the new version on fanfiction.net too, eventually anyways. Yeah I was surprised by how popular it got. It's too bad it got deleted. I miss that goddamn thread *sheds tear* Oh I know, me too. But there's no way I'm gonna be able to do a new one. It's too much time and effort and I lack both lately

.... Can I just say, I fucking love your story. I mean really, I LOVE it. That's all. I'll probably never be able to top that with my writing. Thank you I'm assuming you read the newer version then? If not then you'll probably love it more when you do. But oh no don't say that though. Everyone gets better with practise. Speaking from personal experience, I can see a great difference between the original and revamped versions as far as quality goes, and that's because I kept writing so much. And as far as you go TKA, you've gotten better too. I remember your old stuff and I can see a different in comparison to the new ones. You just have to keep at it.

Early Ideas #8 (I'm taking these from my website, that's why I jumped from 1 to 8)
Charlie was going to be a serial killer.
Some of the reasons for this was because a) i wanted someone who was worse than Nate and b) I wanted someone in the group who was on the bad end of the morality scale (with Vaughan being on the good end and Nate being in the middle).
So there was going to be multiple hints of this throughout the story. Aside from the lack of remorse or guilt when it came to ending lives, there was going to be a news report that Nate overhears in chapter one about a killing method of a serial killer that was terrorizing the town, and this killing method was going to be used by Charlie later on in the proceeding chapters.
I decided not to do this because I didn’t want to make Charlie that bad.

I still need to read the newer version, but I'm sure I'll love it even more. I think I have improved since my Kenny fan fic. I'm not really sure how I've improved but I have in someone way. I don't know.

Damn... That was... Unexpected. Yup. I didn't want Charlie to be so unsympathetic, even though originally I didn't care how brutal she could get (even after I decided to not make her a serial killer).

Jesus, I just can't get over how Vaughn looks in that picture when it's low res. It looks like he has one tooth, and his mouth is open in the middle, but the sides of his mouth are pretty much closed.

Early Ideas #6
I had a scene in my head that I didn’t know where to put, and I didn’t end up using it. Pretty much it involved Nate and gang running away from a hoard of zombies through a forest. At one point, they decide to climb up trees in order to lose the hoard. So Charlie and Nate are able to climb up fine, but Vaughan didn’t know how to climb trees. So then this option would come up:
| Help Vaughan | | Leave Vaughan |
If you helped him, then he latches on to Nate’s back and Nate would climb up the tree with some difficulty. Obviously this would’ve been the choice in the story, but I also made up what happens if you don’t help Vaughan.
Nate tells him to climb up on his own, and since Vaughan can’t he just keeps on running and a lot of the zombies follow him. He doesn’t end up dying at that point, but you do lose him for a while.

HEAD'S UP: If you have not read up to chapter 4, this contains some spoilers for it. It also has homophobic slurs.Early Ideas #7In the flashback/dream sequence of episode 4, the part where Nate remembers Casey’s funeral was close to being something else. It’d still be about Casey’s death, but it was going to be much darker.
Pretty much, instead of Casey committing suicide, the dad murders him once he finds out his son has AIDS. I can’t remember exactly what I was planning to write, but it was going to be something like this:
Mom: Why did you do that!? He was our son! Dad: That faggot was no son of mine! Mom: You monster… Dad: You ain’t gonna say a word about this, ya hear me!? Not a god damn word! (The dad picks up Casey and goes outside) Mom: …Nate, sweetie, take the shovel and go out with your father.
I decided not to do this because I felt like the funeral scene was dark enough, and having this happen instead was going a bit overboard. I was still tempted to use it however.

There was a funeral scene? Obviously it's been a while as I don't remember that happening.
