So, guys what made you write about zombies?
In all seriousness, the whole idea came out of us joking around on IM. The two of us and Dee were chatting together one night, and the chat got quiet, so Dee was like "Is everyone dead?" and I said "yes," and she said "Oh noes! Julie is a ghost!" and I said, "I prefer zombie." We kept making zombie jokes while waiting for Rose to say something, and when she didn't, I was like, "Hey Rose... Backstreet Boys, zombies, collab?" to summon her back, since Rose is a collab whore.
I was just joking, but when she came back, we started talking about this "joke" idea of a Bsb zombie collab, and then we were like, "Hey, this sounds like kind of a cool story..." I've never written much horror, but I've always been a fan of horror movies and books, and I love zombies, so once we got to planning it and writing it, it actually made a lot of sense that this was something I would enjoy writing LOL.
