Who are you?

My name is Jenny Romanchuk. I was born June 27 1985, and reside in a small boarder town called Sault (Soo) ste. (saint) Marie, in Ontario Canada-- where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average. ;)

When do you update?

Every Monday rain or shine. I haven't missed a Monday update in a long long time. I will also do random Thursday updates if I have the time, I always let you know in the news on a Monday update if this will happen. I want it to become a regular thing for Thursday, but it can be difficult to update twice a week on a regular basis.

So these characters are based off of real people? Including yourself?

Yup! Though as the story progessed the characters in the comic spawned a life of thier own, the only things that the characters in the comic share with their real life counterparts is their first and last names, and that they 'sorta' look like us. The TZH characters kind of grew into their own people, as characters should.

Here we all are in no particular order:

Huh, I am a bit wary about 'self insert' comics... excessive egomania...plot armor...

Little story about this. At first this comic was a private story for my friends and I, it was loosely based off of a dream I had that was highly amusing, so one day I decided to make a comic about it, just something for fun. Months later I posted a few pages online and other people came to like it. People were asking me to do more, and more, and more, so I decided to actually make a short web comic about our 'adventures.' This comic was only supposed to run for no more than a handful of pages, but as people came to like it, I became to like it more as well, so I decided to sit down and actually write a full-length script for it. This is where I THEN made the decision to keep all of our characters the same and unchanged. Why? Because who wouldn't want to run around and kill zombies? This isn't about ego fluffing, this is fun, and I am unashamed to proudly show off that I would rather be running around bashing in zombie heads than boring old daily life.

Is Charlie based off of a real person?

No.

What's with that Charlie guy anyway? Is he a zombie?

Read and find out!

Oh look, I did a review for you, LINK ME!

I am making it a point to no longer link reviews good or bad. I am thankful for reviews and I appreciate them very much, and it gives me insight on where I should be improving. But despite that I am VERY wary of them, especially when the author asks me to link thier site. If the author decides to show me the review I'll read it, thank them, and move on--if the author of a review article asks me to link them I get somewhat apprehensive--like they just wrote it to give themselves more hits and publicity, so their interest isn't with the comic or giving a review at all. Or, if its a negative review I see it as wanting to be argumentitve and start a huge shit-storm with angry fans, which is a waste of time and I would rather not be associated with that. So yeah! I don't link reviews!

Do you link to interviews?

Yes.

I have no money to donate! But I still want to help!

Thats fine, there are many ways you can help TZH without spending a dime.

- Voting (this helps increse our popularity)
- Checking out our Ads (costs you nothing, and helps our sponsors)
- Word of mouth. (Tell people about us, link to us, the more the merrier!) Our link banners can be found here.

Can I help you with brainstorming, editing, plot-line, etc?

Thanks but no thanks. I never let strangers in on the TZH creation, because that would be kinda weird, and I have several close people who help me already. And you know the old saying: "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the soup."

Are you going to make this into a book?

I sure am! Not too sure on all the details yet.

What about T-shirts and armbands and other things?

Yes! There will be other goodies as soon as we can make them available.

Will you be making The Zombie Hunters RPG?

I do plan on making a real Tabletop RPG book based on TZH. Not sure exactly when the release date will be, but it's being planned.

I made some fan art for you!

That's great! You can post it in the forum, and sooner or later it will get put up in the gallery. You should be aware, though, that posting your artwork here means that you're agreeing to give up your rights to it.

I wrote a fan-fic, can I send it to you?

I don't read fan-fiction. However, there's a lively community on the forum that enjoys reading and discussing fan-fictions. You can find it under Fan Works. Just like the fan-art, posting your fan-fiction here means that you're agreeing to give up your rights to it.

Can I use some of your _______ in a project of my own?

You may NOT use my comics, storyline, world, art, zombie classes or any other part of TZH in a comic or project of your own. Please don't infringe on my copyrights (I will hunt you down).

I was wondering if it would be ok for me to use your zombies or world in a table top role playing game.

I tell people that as long as it's for PRIVATE and PERSONAL use its fine, like using them in a tabletop RPG with your friends is totally cool. If its an online RPG game I ask that if you can, play it on the TZH forum, but if not, I want you to give credit and a link back to www.thezombiehunters.com. If the content on this site starts finding itself elsewhere however, there may be some problems in the legal areas, which I don't want to have to go into.

What software do you use to make the comics?

Good old pencil and paper, PhotoshopCS2, aaand Painter9, and a Wacom Intuos3 Tablet =D I also use Poser7 for assistance with anatomy and well, poses.

How long does it take you to make a comic strip?

A good solid 7-8 hours from start to finish. Could be more depending on if I run into snares with the script and panel layout, which I often do...and depending what is going on in my life--school, work, life hazards, it can take days.

Update more!

See above.

You haven't responded to my email!

One of 4 things could have happened.
1. My hungry email monster ate it, so it never got to me.
2. Haven't gotten around to responding because I was busy.
3. The title sounded spam-like so I just deleted it outright. Oops!
4. I just didn't know what to say!

Also, don't email me asking to be friends. Cause dude, that's just weird.

Do you know about "The Zombie Survival Guide" or "World War Z" by Max Brooks? Were you inspired by them?

Dude, I'm writing a comic about zombies, of course I know about those books! I haven't read them though, so I guess that answers the second question: No, I didn't base any of my ideas off of him. His zombie world is completely and uniquely different from my own.

How long of a comic do you have planned?

A very, very, long one.

What were your sources of inspiration for The Zombie Hunters?

Natural human history. I am a big WW2 buff and I read about real survivalist stories whenever I can. I also get a lot of ideas from music, I'm a music junkie, and dreams cause I do both a lot.

What is your favorite zombie movie?

Anything from the post apocalyptic genre I usually like. I actually haven't seen a lot of zombie movies haha.

Cool! Your Zombie Hunting character is fighting with a SPADE!

Uhh that's a shovel dude.

What's with the hat? o__O

At first the hat was of a kitty, but then it slowly turned into a bear, I dunno why, I don't like bears, I used it once for a comic, and over time people seemed to get attached to it, and it stuck. It kinda looks like the hat from Serial Experiments Lain, but the colors are different...and the shape, so I guess its different, and better cause its mine =D And if you notice the bear hat always matches my mood--like its alive...

Do you actually HAVE a hat like that?

Yup! I sure do! Since it doesn't exist in stores my best friend Sammie made it for me n__n
