Zombies, zombies, and more zombies! Zombie sensation is sweeping the nation! Even Equestria isn't immune from these dead hands' clutches! What happens when a young mare with everything to prove and nopony to prove it to must fight to survive? Funny stuff, that's what. Also sad. Yeah, lots of sad. Starspot's always been a loner, but now, she's just plain alone. Join her on her adventure through New Equestria (exactly one hundred thirty-seven years after the events of the show) as she tries to survive, and maybe get to the bottom of the strange phenomenon.
Chapters (4)
not great but definitely not bad. i like how you've portrayed starspot. years of loneliness have made her bitter.
I like it! Keep the chapters coming!
Everypony's doing bloody zombies.
I thought I was being original a few months when I started my fic. Eh, well, what are ya gonna do?

But you had to know what you were getting into with how popular zombies have been in recent media of all forms.
Sorry about that, mate.
I always loved zombie apocalypses. Throw ponies into the mix, and you've got yourself a winner. I'm hoping this is more of a Left 4 Dead style thing rather than a Resident Evil or Max Brooks style thing, because I'm not sure but I don't think there's any Zombie Apocalypse stories about with the theme being Friendship.

At one point I was planning to make it a Left 4 Dead crossover, then it just kind of grew into this. I decided that all fighting with little story and little conflict that isn't with the zombies would be rather boring, hence why I chose to avoid as much battle with zombies as possible, because at the end of the day, the zombies may kill you, but it's what you've experienced with your friends and enemies that truly would stay with you.

You sir. You are a blight.
No seriously. What the fuck. Why would you do this?

Oh, trust me, that one gave my conscience a bit of trouble, but once I did it, I knew there was no going back. And now I've become such a huge bastard that I can write even worse without batting an eye.

Dude. I've read Sweet Apple Massacre and Cupcakes and was unfazed. This fazed me, if only because you actually go into detail and feeling rather than saying "Oh yeah and such-and-such raped so-and-so and then killed her friend in front of her" like Sweet Apple Massacre, and remained in character and (shudder) plausable unlike Cupcakes and SAM.
That makes it so much worse.
Man, if you don't have Starspot dealing with trauma for at least the next 5-10 chapters (With Angel helping her through it of course), I'm going to be disappointed, because you'd be missing a great opportunity for The Magic of Friendship to really shine.

Oh, don't worry. While I may not have her constantly acting traumatized, (Where's the fun in having a constantly mopey character, especially when it's normally the most sarcastic character,) she won't ever get over it. Not to mention this is a tragedy piece above all, and the tragic hero never gets a moment's rest.

Eh. S'alright.
I'm not exactly planning on putting rape into my fic, so...

I'd hope not. Writing rape is one of the worst things an author will ever do, even in something like this that isn't exactly a literary masterpiece. If I had one piece of advice for an aspiring author, it'd be this: Do not write about rape, and if you do, make it as detached as possible. Getting into the emotions of rape is awful.
i know when i like a gory story when i'm not disturbed by the content
so i will keep on reading
i see were this is going
good story a side of the gory in it but still good
wow didnt expect rape in this story not only that but someone got bitten
i can tell you, you made this story interesting
Well.... I'll just post my opinions here, please don't view them as insulting or agressive.
The narrative is VERY fast-paced, wich is actually a really cool thing in a zombie story. But even that, some arcs are almost too fast, I mean - first we know it's a trap, seconds later we know she's been raped and seconds after, they're free.
I'm not complaining about the rape, on the contrary, I think that, for a zombie apocalypse story, yours is very light-toned. To me it wouldn't matter if you made 'The Rapist' into a zombie and he would eat his own unborn offspring right out of Starspot's womb (I'm not a sadistic person, but COME ON GUYS, THIS IS A FUCKING ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, SHIT HAPPENS, DEAL WITH IT, BE COLD OR DIE {this is actually adressing the people that complain too much}).
But I mean, if 'The Rapist' was the leader, then it was a 'cult', then they must have resources, and with that, why didn't they just kill Pinkie and Conrad? And Angel- if it was really something important of a cult, she would be dead too because the leader of it woudl't be left alone (minimal chances if the setting is a zombie realm).
Another point that gets me going: I think you'll probably enlarge the 'romance' between Angel and Starspot and that is fine, a little confrontation in a setting where your sanity is more at risk than your life is to be expected. But that's IT- your characters are unhuman (or in the case, unpony), Sterspot gets raped and, in the other day, is talking about it (with some grief, but not as it is to be expected). Just don't focus TOO MUCH on the romance that you get carried away and foget the actual story.
TL;DR: Nice story, will read it further. You need to slow down on some parts and think about others a little more.
JUST A TIP: Don't put the COMPLETE tag on a story that isn't.
I'm here again: just would like to point out that I haven't read all of the comments before making mine, so I'm sorry about what I said about the romance thingy. Also, don't mind the "COMPLETE" tag, it was my mistake.
I'm just wondering when will you update?
Ooh!Is it immortal Pinkie Pie?
Always loved zombie aponylypse(ahhahahah shoot me please)stories. Even though when reading them I usually have to scream at the computer "Ohmigod these people are morons!As a smart man once said,"This is so obviously a f**king shit idea!"
Lol rape? Im sorry but only 4 words for this
