sorry not to criticize but there is no 2nd person. Not that I don't like it, its just the labor is wrong unless Ur addi g it later

7392352 Hey, since you like this story, I got a question for you: how would you like it if Applejack and Ellis started to have romantic feelings for each other in the future?

7392971 honestly I Dont give 2 SHITS. But yes please do it will turn very interesting:ajsmug:

The music started in my head the moment I started reading this :)

Ellis was devastated. He rarely felt anger, but he was on the verge of it.

I'm really loving the fact that you get into how Ellis feels about his situation. So many times that element is left out of action horror.

Ellis, having a love for horses, takes his axe and chops the zombie in the back. Angered, it turns around and punches him in the chest. Making him fall onto his back.

I like the action you got going on here, but I feel you could put a little more flavor in it. Don't just describe the hits play by play. Help me feel the visceral reaction of that axe hitting flesh, spewing out gore. You have the gore tag, so you can go all out. Get wild with those descriptions! Make em as wild as it is to play the game and see waves of zombies turn into a fine red mist when you take em down with the heavy machine gun. Those kind of things. :)

"Woah! You can talk? I mean, nah, I ain't one of them zombies."

"Okay, I'm gonna trust ya on that one."

Awww they both have country accents! They were made for each other <3 <3

Ellis said as they entered one of the hotel rooms. When they reached the end, Ellis spotted an elevator that looked to be in working condition. They both go in and Ellis presses the button that went to the bottom floor. When the door closed, he turned around and sighed.

Your story is very procedural, moving from one location to another and making sure to keep track of the movement of characters. It's really good that you are keeping in mind their progress through the world (and no doubt through the actual level, which is really cool), but you can stand to cut out some of the movement description. Instead, focus on the character interaction, or the terror they feel, or the monsters creeping around and then periodically remind us where they're moving so we'll be more focused on the action and drama then the location.

I thought I was gonna be ground up into applesauce before you helped me." the pony said.

That's both adorable and horrific. Hordorable?

Ellis then gets the hustle in his muscle, and pries the doors open.

I love that line, 'Hustle in the muscle."

Applejack was getting a bit scared. Normally, she would not be scared of anything at all. However, something about the sounds that the zombies were making really scared her.

Try to vary up the wording you use. You have "scared" here three times, and there's lots of variations you could use instead, like frightened, unnerved, unsettled, terrified and so on. www.thesaurus.com will help :)
"Help! AJ Help! It's...choking...me!" Ellis yells.

Applejack runs out of the safe room and towards the zombie that was strangling Ellis. She gives it a good, hard kick and it explodes into a cloud of stinky, thick smoke

It's good to see AJ show her muscle in a situation where Ellis was doing most of the legwork. This now puts them on even-ground leading to the end of chapter 1, which is important because both characters need to be able to hold their own and be equal in terms of fighting prowess so the reader can feel they have a chance to survive.

I like this story! Really good job! Keep in mind some of my suggestions and I feel you can make an even better Action Horror!

Fav and upvote! :D

7396182 Thanks! I'm glad you like this story. I have been working hard on it, and I've been taking notes on what I should do. I will most certainly keep your advice in mind when I start on Dark Carnival. I'm actually going to start on it in a few hours from now.

Thanks for liking! :pinkiehappy:

7396218 Jacksepticeye SPEED IS KEY reference!!!!!

They ARE adorable

7396218

Sweet! Good luck on Dark Carnival! That's one of my favorite levels, especially the finale :)

You'll see your writing evolve as you continue. It'll happen naturally over time. But you're already pretty good in your execution and your level of grammatical refinement. Keep it up! :D

7397953 LOL You noticed! Good eye! :rainbowlaugh:

Applejack than began to blush, either by the sheer awkwardness, or something else

Yeah.....Somethin' else

I'm just waiting for the horrifying moment when a Tank bursts down a wall of a 'saferoom'. I always want that moment in zombie games, especially L4D.

I'm liking this Story A lot. Its been a While since I've seen a L4D2 Story. Keep Up the Good Work :D

7414885 Thanks man! Glad you're enjoying it! :pinkiehappy:

I know its Still Early into the Story but... How is Applejack Going to get back home ? I mean I can maybe see a Recall Spell From Twilight on Magical Residue From the Teleport Spell.

7415611 Don't worry. I know what will happen...but it's a secret...:trixieshiftright:

Freckles are life.

7399470 the wet spot that had developed in her nethers. :rainbowkiss:

She slammed the entire bottle down her throat

So she ate the plastic bottle too?
Well, somepony's playing hardball.

"Wait, there's no 'f' in way." Applejack pointed out.

"Haha! You fell for it!"

"No Fucking Way." I got it. Get them Firecrackers Popping. Also Maybe a Little Grenade Launcher Present For Ellis ? With a Little Incendiary Ammo ? (P.S. Still Enjoying the Story)

7423314 I would never forget the grenade launcher.:rainbowlaugh: I am saving that item for a special moment... :trixieshiftright:

PS: Glad you're enjoying the story!:pinkiehappy:
