''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14065957/1/Solanum-an-observation Solanum, an observation ]]'' by Winkaku
* Recommended by Paradoxic
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairing(s)'': None
* ''Synopsis'': "An in-depth examination of the undead physiology in the post-war environment by one Doctor Patience Woods."
* ''Comments'': A brilliantly written take on Solanum's biological mechanisms. The author does a good job of capturing the post-war atmosphere - the tentative sense of hope that things might improve, the way many are inured to everyday horrors that come with a world-ravaging virus (like dredging up still-animate corpses), the way Solanum continues to ruin lives, the far-reaching impacts of societal collapse and how human infrastructure adapted. The science of how Zs work is plausible, and arguably adds yet another layer of horror to the Zs. There's some background information and worldbuilding at the beginning, but the reader can skip straight to the dissection and examination with little impact.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12293138/1/World-War-Z-Home-Front-UK World War Z: Home Front UK]]'' by Octaviusa
* Recommended by Paradoxic
* ''Status'' Dead
* ''Pairing(s)'': None
* ''Synopsis'': "Max Brooks continues to interview survivors of the Zombie War for the United Nations' Postwar Commission Report. What follows is a collection of the most recent interviews from survivors from the British Isles. This is the Home Front UK."
* ''Comments'': Pretty good, some issues with punctuation/grammar and word cruft, but fairly true to Max Brooks' style and a decent read nonetheless.

''[[http://community.livejournal.com/betteronvicodin/10447.html Rush Down Darkness]]'' by starlingthefool
* Recommended by Tropers/SylviaViridian
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairing(s)'': House/Wilson
* ''Synopsis'': Crossover with ''Series/{{House}}''. Details the survival of the community that occupied Princeton University during the zombie war, from the perspective of one Dr. Greg House.
* ''Comments'': Very true to the feel of the original book. This was actually the fanfic that got me into World War Z in the first place. It focuses on House and Wilson, with the rest of the cast having fled elsewhere like the sensible people they are - it mentions that Cuddy made it to Israel before the borders closed - but the shipping is secondary to the overall story of their survival.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5449444/1/WWZ_Drabbles WWZ Drabbles]]'' by skipperxotter (If you've actually read the book, there shouldn't be anything in here more {{Squick}}y or scary then what's already in the book.)
* Recommended by Tropers/{{loracarol}}
* ''Status'': Dormant
* ''Pairing(s)'': Nothing with any of the book characters, hints amoung the OC's, but nothing out there.
* ''Synopsis'': A drabble series based off of WWZ, that's about it summary-wise.
* ''Comments'': This is a good fic for the WWZ crowd, especially since it only shows small snippets of the overall plot, just like in the book. When the author wants it to be specific as to who is talking, she uses her OC's, a group of "ordinary" soldiers (if ordinary can be applied to anyone who fights Zack). Some chapters make the people in WWZ and her drabble series into cards for [[MagicTheGathering Magic: The Gathering]], and that can be a little confusing if you haven't played the game before.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Pairing(s)'': None
* ''Synopsis'': Sometimes, in a civil war, there aren't clear cut good guys and bad guys. Why did the Black Hills revolt? Here's the story from a survivor.
* ''Comments'': A poignant look at what it was like to be the "human bait" that the Redeker Plan required in the United States. Grammar is a little wonky during the first chapter, but improves in all remaining installments. A painful reminder that history is written by the winners.
