So it appears that different people have different 'turn' rates. That's fairly interesting, though it rules out critical mass turning, as at the very least there is a small delay, enough that an infected wouldn't join in the current attack, perhaps not even the next either.
As for people deciding to live the zombie survivor dream during day 0-1, willing to murder anyone that doesn't'the agree with them . . . The city will be a dangerous place for a few weeks as strongholds attack anything and eventually will need to scavenge for supplies.

You certain this doesn't deserve a dark tag?
Not only has there been some rather grim outright murders on screen now...
But the idea of some poor bastard being gunned down for the dread crime of licking somebody isn't that much lighter fair. I mean, fine, they're infectius... but on the other hand, so far they've basically been acting less like monsters, and more like pet-dogs that don't quite get what they've done wrong.
5976938 I am never certain where particular tags start or end, to be honest.
I agree on the dark tag at least for the chapters we've seen. Being zombie apocalypse genre kind of implies it's going to continue to be dark, if not necessarily grimdark.
As for the overall concept. I find it hilarious. :) The execution does a good job of not being comedy line by line, but when you step back and think about what the hell is going on...
5976944
Fair enough. Can be rather tricky business getting that bit right from the get-go.
Just thought I'd point out that the absence of that particular one is starting to bother me slightly.

5976955 Would that there was a rating for a tag. I don't really plan for grimdark, but it is kinda dark. People are not at their best in these situations. It's a bad time. Am I making any sense?
The cold calculus of survival makes itself known. In order to function, people must integrate into local maxima, deriving safety in numbers.
I am mildly sorry.
Math puns aside, these two going out on their own is a dangerous but necessary choice. That kiss was going to come out sooner or later, and that's assuming that Sandra hasn't been infected. Still, at least there's no risk of death. Not physical death, anyway. Not that we've seen...
Not so interesting story
the plot thickens this may be a good story only time will tell.
that is if there is any one left around to read it. ok that was lame even for me.

PS I loved the movie zombie land.

Yes. They should add tag ratings that go from 1-11 on a scale marked 1-10.
It feels like this could, honestly, be a fair bit scarier than Walking Dead. The ponies turning you without killing you isn't exactly less scary than being turned into a dead zombie, at least judging by their apparent lack of higher brain functions shown so far. And unlike traditional zombies, they have fliers, burrowers and telekinetics to make it really hard to create any kind of fortification against them.
But then when you look at Walking Dead, very quickly the zombies stop being the big threat. They're the backdrop. It's other humans that are grimdark scary. In part because there's a risk that they'll be trustworthy. I say 'risk', because with a zombie you just know it's irredeemably evil. Everyone knows that, and only the odd nutcase will fault you for putting them down 'unprovoked'. But with other people, if you just flat out kill them on sight, you don't know if they could have been a great friend and ally that would have had your back through thick and thin. But to give them a chance to be that ally, you have to give them a chance to betray you. Or, you know, just be a waste of your efforts in a situation where you can't afford to be wasteful.
And then, getting back to this story, there's the question whether there will be some who turn without going crazy, or go crazy slowly. Or whether those who already turned will return to a form of sanity when the dust settles? Like if a small town all got infected and then ignored for a year would it end up essentially looking/functioning like Ponyville? Only with the inhabitants viewing humans as a dangerous psychotic monster who needs to be 'cured' with a quick French kiss? (I say dangerous psychotic, because it's very likely most would be shoot-first types after what they've seen/heard of the ponies from incidents like we've seen here.)
Anyways, looking forward to seeing where you take this madness. :)
5976995 Sorry to hear it wasn't your cup of tea. Was anything in particular off?
5976977 Unless the cops shoot you.
safer-feeling
The scenes with the neighbors didn't make sense. It felt like they had all been through this scenario several times before. The situation was first recognized less than a day ago and they've already solidified their alliances and their who-to-shoot policies. They also seemed very unemotional about the whole situation, even the ones that were exiled and then immediately shot. Maybe you were going for a humorous angle and it went over my head, but the general flavor was "another day, another zombie crisis".
5977267 I was reviewing the Fimfiction rules, and you're probably going to need more than one cameo by Luna to justify posting the story here. I'm not going to rat on you or anything, but your connect to FiM is extremely tangential at the moment.
5977292 They are treating it that way, or are trying to. Everyone is working under the policy of 'We've seen this before, if we just don't do anything stupid, we'll make it!' They've literally followed the handbook of zombie survival. Of course, this is just one group of people. I'm sure others are reacting in very different ways. I... have a hard time imagining that some people won't react this very way in the event of an actual breakout, since, yes, we have seen zombie movies a lot.
Of course, most zombies don't fly or tunnel, so good luck with that!

5977341 Your video amuses me.
This reminds me of WWZ that movie with brad pit.... that scene..
You submitted your story to A For Effort. I'm here to inform you that the group has been unfortunately abandoned and I'm one of the few people willing to continue reviewing added stories. I read the first few bits of your story and can safely inform you that your story is actually quite good and shows a level of quality. But, unfortunately, I never could be interested in a human story.
5977315 Or can disarm you with magic Lol, so not only do you have to keep a eye on a 4 dimensional playing field but you have to watch out for magic appearing out of nowhere. Not ending up as a pony seems to be a lot harder than it looks
5977428 Thanks for the kind words, and I hope things improve over there.
5977460 It's dangerous to go alone, take this.
5977476
Oh, thanks Old Man, that is really very nice
I can always count on you for helpful, friendly advice
Though I've never seen a sword of quite that shape or size
Oh god, that's not a sword! It's your dick in disguise
"You were kissed by a horse?!"
"Yeah. Not how I imagined my first kiss but he was surprisingly gentle."
"...What?!"
"Yeah. He kinda got shot after that. Turns out that creepy kid in class had been bringing a gun the past two months but never really could work up the motivation to use it."
"WHAT?!"
"By the way we need more milk."
"... ... You've got to be joking."
"Nah, in fact there's one kinda like him outside the window."
"AUGH!"
"They're nice enough. Weird though, just sniffed me and moved on."
"Honey pack your bags, we're going on a vacation out to your aunt's house."
"I have an aunt?"

Seriously though I'm rather enjoying this. Rather surprised at how calm the protagonist is though.
6510147 He has a reason to be, which is revealed (redacted)!

This is like 'Resident Evil' but 'Resident Mutant Friendship' instead.
I think this story is moving too fast.
8130391 Things calm down in places, but it is briskly placed.
Sucks to say, but...Should have abandoned your friend...

agreed
The friendship virus is spreading....
