Ok, to maybe get a bit more interest, I spent my wednesday of computer off time to think about the series. I don't know how to do a series bible so this is just the basics of the idea.
Setting: a fictional American city. Or a city that will be renamed. If it's fictional, we could make it as large or small as needed. The population of this city would be around fifteen hundred. It is an ungoverned city, except for a sherriff who keeps the peace. Unlike LOTD, the rich do not rule over the people in this city, in fact it's the reverse. The people have gotten sick and tired of things working that way. The city is protected by a large military force that relocated to an installation in the city when the crap realy hit the fan.
About the people in the city: life is not great for them. It's not good either, but it's not a nightmare. The people of this city, unlike those in LOTD, realize that the world is screwed and are working for their long term survival. They grow food on rooftop gardens, fish in the surrounding ocean, have livestock, and generate their own electricity through renewable, yet kind of primitive methods. They're surviving. Just scraping by, but they're surviving.
Time it would be set in: present day. The "plague" or whatever you call it, has only been going on for about seven months. Things really got bad about four months into it and got out of control.
Government: the government is actualy still mostly intact somewhere, but noone cares. Just like they didn't care before the crap hit the fan. As the series progresses, we'll find out that the government is as big a problem as the zombies. Or maybe more of a problem.
Series charachters: CJ, a young blond woman who we know almost nothing about other then the fact she was trapped in the city when things got bad. She's a volunteer leader of a "scavenger" group who leave the city to gather whatever resources they can find. She's sort of like Riley from LOTD, but a much different person. She's the kind of person who cares about people, but wouldn't put a bullet in your head if you got bitten. Not if that bullett could save her, or someone elses life. She's very bitter about her situation, and we'll get a hint of her past and why she is the way she is as the show goes on. A man everyone just calls "Slugger" is a pro baseball player who didn't last long in the big leagues. Not cause he sucked, but because of other reasons. His method of dispatching the zombies is with an aluminum bat. He protects the other scavengers this way since guns need reloading, and there's always the possibility of missing. Those two, and some other charachter ideas is all I have right now. And all I have time to write down here.
Scavenger vehicles: not sure if they should have a kick ass truck like dead reckoning or not, but these vehicles are actually marvels of engineering. Since the massive stockpile of gasoline is reserved for military or other emergency use, the scavenger vehicles are custom built electric motor driven vehicles with solar panels on the roofs and back up batteries. As a result of them being electric, they can only go out in the day time. And they have to hope for clear weather. Otherwise they may be stuck, and pretty much screwed.
Guns: they got all kinds. 
Long running series plot: zombies not the only problem. All I got for now.
How all this will be accomplished? classfied. 
Ok, these are the basic ideas. They could change at any time, or become completely different. Hopefully this will generate a little more interest...
