Basically, I'm not done yet, and I'm not entirely sure what might come up, but how about I just put up a list of stuff that might, and we work from there.
Feel free to object, but Jeremy has final say, I think. Profanity (cursing and swearing) Violence (people fighting zombies, people fighting people, zombies fighting people, zombies eating) sex (intercourse between people) death (people dying as a result of above-mentioned violence) Questions of morality (what is ok now because the world is screwed) Emotionally charged writing (I'm not trying to brag, but my goal is to pull you into the story. I won't stop doing that, but I can limit the situations where you might identify with someone doing bad stuff) I think that's everything.
