I just finished summer school and have about two weeks free until school starts again.
Following something Nony did a while ago, I want to try some fun strategies (or maybe even handicaps) out on iccup. For example, someone asked Nony to go goon/ob/mass dt. The idea was to snipe his opponent's obs so his dts could kill freely.
If you have ideas similar to that (but for zerg), feel free to throw them out. If you've looked at my previous blog posts, you'll know I really like going hydra/queen in zvz and zvt, and occasionally burrowling in zvp.
Another thing is, I won't wait until I get a huge advantage in the game before doing the suggested strategy. That wouldn't be fun. Note I'm only B-, B at best, while Nony was way better, so I probably won't be as successful as him. Regardless of how well this goes, I'll post the interesting replays.

drone + hydra
mass hydra
mass drones
send drones in front of hydras
use hydras to attack while drones screw up pathing and block melee units from raping ur hydras
at the same time lol as the stupid tanks fail to kill drones in one hit

stove
or, if you're feeling brave, royal stove
seriously, it's an amazing strategy that almost never works
but when it does, it's the greatest feeling in the world

this.
yesterday i did a stove pvt, the scout did near no damage, the dt was stopped by early turrets, first arbiter got sniped (lol), but then i used second arb to gain map control, i double expoed and won. poor guy. royal stove is extremely hard, cause getting an scv is near impossible and even then, you need to get tanks. however a recalled tank army is awesome

7 pool > proxy hatch vs P, i do it all the time^^. Send 1 drone early and get into his main, if he goes forge FE and gets his cannons up you can just keep massing lings outside his base, and make the hatchery inside his base, send 2 drones so they arrive just when hatchery finishes and you can make 2 sunkens! he will need probes and zealots to guard main entrance from your mass lings, so if he pulls too many to kill your hatchery you can hopefully break entrance. Make sure you have vision on a mineral in side his base with your overlord, then when your 2 drones arrive when your hatchery in his base finishes, attack with your zerglings and slide your 2 drones in there! make sunkens and hope for win.

ZvT/ZvP: Go for your usual kind of fast hive strategy, except after you complete the queen's nest, instead of getting Hive right away research queen upgrades and get a few queens.
ZvZ: Queen/hydra. Hard as fuck to do against anyone with any skill.
TvZ: Go FE -> 1fac/1 port, when you get sci facility, add on covert ops. At your nat get a nuclear missile silo. Guess what's coming folks?
TvP: Pretty much the same idea, except I like to do a normal 4 factory thing and start massing as I get sci facility, EMP, then drop a ghost at a Protoss expo and nuke it.
TvT: Rush BC's. Or nukes, I guess.
PvZ: Instead of getting psi storm, get maelstrom.
PvP: Arb rush.
PvT: Hallucinate.
Edit: I know you only asked for Zerg, but if you decide to off-race and try some fun things, well...

Proxy hatch is always cool, with sunken bust on the side, you can do that sort of thing on blue storm, with the large main bit on the side.
For Terran match ups, the deep six build is always awesome,

1 fact expo into 3 fact tanks only and then send all scvs/tanks in hanbang all in attack
not sure of the timing, maybe around like 50 or so?

Mass Scourge + Lurkers + Lings
Kill all his overlords with scourge to deny detection of lurkers and lings to kill spores if necessary
._. idk lol
Edit: zvz btw obviously haha
