"is this the end of Zombie Shakespeare?"
So, I had this idea, and Amy -- and Erica, obliquely -- encouraged it, and really, that's all I need to do something these days.

A weekend fic(let) battle.
So, you guys probably know how these weekend 'thons work. People contribute prompts, I collect the prompts, I post the prompts. On the appointed weekend, we all go crazy and start writing fic for the prompts in the comments. Ficlets, more properly; the length is limited by the maxiumum space alotted for comments (I think about 4300 characters).
The twist here is the central theme, namely that of a zombiepocalypse.
(Zombiepocalypse is, of course, the scientific term for an apocalypse with zombies.)
Because zombie fic is awesome.
I'll be collecting prompts through next Thursday -- that is, the seventeenth of May -- and that weekend will be the 'thon itself. Post as many prompts as you like, as many times as you want. I'll post a master list of prompts on Thursday. Crossovers and RPF, by the way, are totally fine -- I really can't get snippy about that kind of thing when I'm running a zombiepocalypse 'fest, can I? I mean, even if I were inclined to, which I'm not, because both crossovers and RPF are ace.
Prompts should be in the following format: Fandom: Character/Pairing, an element or basic idea for the story ("video camera", "trapped in an ice cream store", etc). The important thing is that all those elements -- fandom, character or pairing you want, basic element you want -- are present, as those will make organizing things a lot easier.
(Oh, and pimping is obviously much appreciated. Just to get a good wide selection of people participating.)
