Z-WORLD DETROIT

[drown]

Didn't know if this was acceptable over at motorcity so I'll...put it here.

Detroit to be hit by flesh and brain-eating zombie apocalypse

Derelict areas of Detroit face being taken over by hordes of 'flesh and brain-eating zombies' if an ambitious business plan takes off.

Entrepreneur Mark Siwak wants to create live-action terror theme park 'Z World' on Motor City's run-down and abandoned streets.

Customers would pay to be chased by professional actors and try to seek shelter in ghostly homes, factories and businesses.

Siwak said it would breathe fresh life into the rundown city, giving jobs to hundreds, if not thousands, of people.

But critics say it is an 'exploitative and insensitive ploy' to profit from Detroit's problems.

Curbed Detroit blogger Sarah Cox said the plan 'sounds a lot like all that fun we had during the 1960s race riots'.

She added: 'It's nice to know Z Land is finally going to capitalise on our love of adrenaline rushes and nostalgia. Now even visitors from the 'burbs can 'wonder if they will make it through the night.'

Detroit has become known in recent years for pioneering 'creative solutions' like urban farming and pedestrian-friendly greenway trials.

Soaring budget deficits and a declining population has forced businesses and the authorities to 'think outside the box'.

And Siwak, who has raised $2,200 of the $140,000 needed through fundraising website IndieGoGo, said his theme park could be the perfect solution.

He told CBS Detroit: 'The city can only have so many urban farms or similar uses for vacant plots.'

And he revealed he is already receiving CVs from hundreds of residents keen to work at the tourist attraction.

He added: 'While zombies are great, the real neat thing about this project is the potential to inject some life into a forgotten neighbourhood - with the opportunity to work with neighbourhood groups and organisation'.

The project would follow in the footsteps of Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse, where thrill-seekers wield paint ball guns to play hide-and-seek with undead zombies in a formerly abandoned truck stop.

IMO: Running around abandoned, decaying factories sounds really neat. Abandoned houses sounds...hm. :|

Awesome! Looking at the fill/unfill ratio, we're currently standing at a 30% fill rate, which is really, really great for a km. *O*!!

Beta finding meme?

[drown]

Not sure how many people wander over here from the prompt post, but I was wondering...how many of you would like to see a beta finding meme? What it would basically be is that you'd fill out a small questionnaire (what you're looking in a beta, your weaknesses as a writer, what your writing style/themes are like) and people will privately contact you to offer to beta for you.

Another questionnaire will also be made up for those who would like to offer their beta-ing services as well.

Re: Beta finding meme?

[acerbictomes]

That sounds pretty good!

[(Anonymous)]

I was wondering if I would be stepping on anyone's toes (the mods of this meme or anyone else) if I created a community that kept track of the kink meme's updates? Pretty much basically what Filladex (http://filladex.livejournal.com/) is for Homestuck and Marukyu Revue (http://marukyurevue.livejournal.com/) is for Persona 4.

Please tell me what you think!

[drown]

This sounds really cool! A greenlight from me. :)

The shows fans, called Burners, were adamant about bringing this show back, and because of their tenacity, we’ve decided to put this show up for a vote.

...Think maybe we should get on this?
