Audience participation encouraged
So, I keep talking about the new fiction project. Here’s what it is:
A news blog, set in a post-apocalyptic-oid future, documenting the crumbling of society. Creative types of any medium will write stories, stage pictures and shoot video of what’s going on in this theoretical age of economic standstill, societal decay and environmental collapse.
Rather than setting up a relatively simple fictional world where one sits down, figures out what the main focus of the story is, and patches together the external details (the ones not central to the story that make it seem believable), we have several people, trying to think out as much of what’s going on in the world as possible. Then, within that world, we find the stories ourselves.
I’m not sure if that’s as coherant as I wanted it to be, whatever.
If you’re interested in this, and you’d like to contribute to any stage of it (the planning, or the actual implimentation), let us know. We’re open to anybody’s ideas, and any area or level of expertise would be appreciated.
