Okay how many of you guys know about the xombie animated web series?

It was created by James Farr almost alone. He started making it back in 2003.

Xombie tells the story of a little girl named Zoe, (heh L4D, anyone?) who washes ashore years after a zombie plague has wiped out most life on Earth and replaced it with bloodthirsty reanimated versions of the planet's previous inhabitants. She is saved from a swarm of zombies by Dirge, a "variant", a zombie who has retained their conscious mind and the ability to think like a human. Dirge takes it upon himself to perform one last good deed before his zombie body withers away and begins a journey to reunite Zoe with the few remaining live humans and save her from a gruesome death at the hands of the undead.

My first contact with xombie was when I stumbled on it at the newgrounds.com (flash movie site) Probably somewhere 2005. I was really impressed by the quality in storytelling, character design and dialogue. Let me tell you at I became a huge fan of Xombie. I live in Finland, but I tracked down ways to get my hands on dvd release of the web series, the illustrated book Xombie: Dead on Arrival and the Xombie: reanimated comics. It cost like hell to get them from US, but it was worth every cent.

Why am I sharing this with you?

The reason is that I have been waiting for something new from this series. The last thing that was ever news about Xombie was that dreamworks were interested making movie out of it back in 2009. But it never happened.

Then suddenly about seven years after when I first time saw Dirge swinging his shovel at zombies. I stumbled on something again.

James Farr is back creating a new web series for it. I was really exited. That little fan boy inside me was screaming with joy. Immediately I started long term negotiations with my girlfriend (we live together) about how much money I can donate to it. Negotiations have been very very slim. Going somewhere from 50 to 100 $

So I wanted help James Farr to bring Dirge back on the web anyway I could. I started thinking places where the best zombie fans could be found. First on my list was of course the L4D fans.

I am not asking you to do anything, but to check it out. The old web series on youtube and the kickstarter page. And if you guys actually like what you see then donate some for it. Even small amounts from thousands of zombie lovers can make this thing happen.

This could be my only forum post, because forums have never really been my thing. But I hope all you guys (and probably some girls) will keep talking about this. Like quoting all my mistakes on writing this in english
