User blog:Kaffe4200/Define 'Undead'

So there has been a little bit of talking about adding non-zombies stories on here, but that was scrapped. Then I thought that 'undead' not only means zombies. There are several other kinds of undead figures. If we allow other things than just zombies, we could easily grow even bigger than we already are.

I wanted to see what kind of undead figures people think should be allowed on UFSW. Please comment on why you voted what you did.

After this vote, I will make another group of genre categories, so people can find exactly the kind of story they are looking for.

Zombies
This doesn't need a vote, because that's what we're doing right now. But can we all agree that this counts as all kinds of zombies? Fast zombies, slow zombies, harmless zombies, etc. Whether the zombies are caused by a virus, voodoo or something else; it all is allowed.

Ghouls
Ghouls are pretty much like zombies, except for the fact that ghouls only appear from buried corpses. These stories wouldn't have to take place in the apocalypse.

Should stories featuring ghouls be allowed? Yes No

Mummies
Stories in Egypt featuring zombie-like figures that are there to cast curses on you? How does that sound?

Should stories featuring mummies be allowed? Yes No

Ghosts
Ghost stories wouldn't have to be in the apocalypse. It could just be a group of people going into a haunted house, or it could be a guy stranded on a haunted island. There is a lot of options, and would allow the author to make a more interesting lore than if it had been a zombie story. There is a lot of options with ghost stories. It could also be based on real actions done by you. Like you went into a haunted building and then wrote the story.

Should stories featuring ghosts be allowed? Yes No

Banshees
These irish figures come back to our world to give us a message from the other world. Could give some good lore-based stories. Should stories featuring banshees be allowed? Yes No

Vampires
Stories with vampires wouldn't have to be set in the apocalypse. It could be about a man being killed by a vampire and becoming one himself, or it could be a story about a group of people trying to fight a vampire. The story options are pretty limited with vampires, but it is still a possibility. Should stories featuring vampries be allowed? Yes No

Skeletons
Living skeletons coming to life. Why they come to life, I don't know, but they do.

Should stories featuring skeletons be allowed? Yes No

Mylings
I had no ideas these creatures existed. It's the figure of the souls of unbaptized children, roaming the Earth until they've found someone to burry them. Real creepy.

Should stories featuring mylings be allowed? Yes No
