I am Campor.

...More? Damn, you ask for a lot.

I enjoy writing, and I love zombies. Hence, they go hand-in-hand. Especially in this place.

I actually found this place from the official L4D forums about a Zombie Fiction writing contest, and I was like, 'Sounds interesting.'

So I registered, and I like the place. ^_^

So yeah, I wrote a fiction for the competition, and I'd love feedback on it- What I could improve, what did well, the like.

I know I don't describe much- That's one of my weak points. I either describe almost nothing, or go into way too much detail.

But yeah- Glad to be here, and I hope L4D comes out soon... But then, doesn't everyone?

Come out sooner, Left 4 Dead! Grr.

Don't worry about it too much. You'll find that it depends on how you're writing. I know I've read many stories (and novels) that have had barely any description but are still brilliant. Same goes for ones with so much description they describe scenes for several pages.

My tip: Just go with the flow.
When I write I sit down. I think for a little bit then I just write whatever comes to me. I find I get a lot better results that way then if I try to plan it out and put too much thought into it.
Another thing is to write it out like I said just going with the flow, then read it through a few times and then rewrite it (no, I don't mean edit it. I mean rewrite it, not looking at what you've already written).
I get some great passages doing that.

Anyway, I'll shut up now

Oops, almost forgot to say hi.
Hi and welcome!
