Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Zombies Versus Unicorns -- which is awesomer? I discovered this debate while reading Scott Westerfeld's blog. Intrigued, I visited some other blogs to find out more. After thorough researching, I have decided that I am for Team Unicorn.
Sure, zombies can be kind of cool -- the ones from Reaper Man come to mind. But unicorns have lots going for them too. Look at the unicorns from HP. They're pure, innocent, extremely difficult to catch, and very magical.
Or look at Jewel, in The Last Battle. He is loyal, brave, fierce in battle. He fought for Narnia to the end.
Whereas zombies -- well, they're dead. They're gross. (Note: Do inferi count as zombies?)
I'm very curious as to where everyone else stands on this. Anyone?

Yes, those are awesome, albeit in an entirely different way than typical unicorns.

Nice! It's not what you'd usually think of as a unicorn, but it's so cool.

ZOMBIES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thread was perfectly timed because zombies are the awesomest things ever in my mind right now. And my little sister agrees that zombies are indeed awesomer than unicorns. Well, yeah, unicorns are graceful, beautiful creatures, but zombies are undead brain-eating maniacs. Which ultimately makes them awesomer. Also my best friend who isn't on this website agrees. So thats three more people for zombies.

Can't you see the obvious answer? It's Zombie Unicorns!
Spambox says pawe. Paws? Werewolves?

I am trying to envision a zombicorn, but failing. It's a bit difficult... But I think you're right. That sounds very interesting.

Google image it, and there are some pictures.

Peoples' opinions certainly seem to differ on that suject. The pictures... varied. Greatly.

I prefer unicorns to zombies, but I agree that I don't like wimpy, sissy unicorns! :) Has anyone read The Unicorn Chronicles? Sorry zombie fans, there aren't any zombies in the series, (yet!) but all unicorn fans should totally read the books! There are 3 so far, I can't wait for the 4th one! :) I don't think I've ever read a book/short story where zombies are the good guys! Anyway, they're dead! I've read books where ghosts/spirits can be good guys by helping people, but not zombies. :) Hmmmm......zombiecorns? I'm having trouble imagining that..... ;)

I haven't read the Unicorn Chronicles, but I read an anthology of unicorn stories called A Glory of Unicorns (edited by Bruce Coville) with an excerpt from TUC in it. I love AGoU, or at least what I remember of it. There are parts I read yearly, and parts I haven't glanced at since the first hundred times I read them when I was 5 or 6. (I was rather obsessed with unicorns then, of all kinds.) I'll have to look at those again...

Cool, I love fantasy stories. :)

Now this is a Unicorn. I Wouldn't call it "wimpy", But "dark" doesn't come to mind either.
