As you read, I'm writing a story, and I need help on one point.
The basic plot is; survivor of a zombie apocolypse, and they're going to be traveling England looking for other survivors.
Do you think that the main character should be an adult (over 18) or teenager (14-17)?
What an unoriginal story. Zombie apocolypse stories are so overrated. Why don't you do something original like a meth addict who is also a porn star but frequently helps out on the fire department?

And gets into sticky situations with her friends, who are a photographer, cartographer and CIA agent respectively.
Ah, you see, I have a lot of research material on the whole "Zombie" thing, including the voodoo idea, the Max Brooks idea of it being a mineral etc
over 18
Kids would just think its like black ops zombies or something
Do what my "friend" is doing and write about yourself in that situation.
Over 18. Also, not some "island" of a man, who's had his emotions hurt by loved ones being lost in the chaos, but he meets a female survivor, who totally digs him, but he's all like "I can't, because I'm a stupid fuck who can't forget the past and move on" until the end of the movie where they A) hook up and live or B) the man dies saving her (and probably her child).
No more of those please.

This
Have him start out on a mission to find his girlfriend or some girl that he likes that doesn't like him at all, but finds another girl and just goes along with her, completely abandoning the girl he was heading for in the first place. And the story switches over to the girl he liked for a short chapter, where her hideout is breached by zombies and she gets eaten alive whilst still holding out for a saviour that never appears.
It then switches back over to the guy, who's all like "I'd completely forgotten about her. Ah well, she'll be fine."
Over eighteen. Make him old, but not too old.
make him 80 and kill zombies with a cane.
Fuck it. Make it The Penguin from batman and have him stab zombies with his umbrella.

This right here
Durzo blint. Love that book series.
Ok, zombies outbreak in a town, the US nukes the town, the zombie apocalypse is over, the end. Bam A+ right there.
Sounds like a very generic stupid story. Make him a goat, make the zombies wear sombreroes and learn how to write then go to the writing section.
Over 80. Have him be the fucking Crypt Keeper.
Actually, someone get to work on that NOW.

A group of soldiers arriving home from the middle east to find zombies. Aww yea.
