Hey I just thought i would let you know that I have just started a blog website following myself in a fictional zombie outbreak. I will be updating it every day with posts, photoshopped images, and cleverly edited videos to tie in with the illusion that I am actually a survivor in an apocalypse. I hve a bonus in that iam a video editor special FX artist and 3D animator so these will surely help me with posted media

So far we are on day 3 of the outbreak and there is nothing really hardcore going on, just the discovery of a new bird flu. Some of the text is clickable and it takes you to other websites that tie in with what is going on. For instance i explain that birds started falling out the sky and bird flu is a suspect. Offsite links will take you to factual websites explaining everything you need to know about dead birds falling out of the sky and bird flu. Not only is this educational, but in some cases it will frightenly tie in very convincingly with the story.

Anyhow you get the idea, i want to try and get this viral if possible, its all new and early days yet but have a look and see if we can get it noticed.

I welcome any feedback, comments or potential things you would like to see as this blog progresses into "walking dead" anarchy.

While done before, this appears to be a more clever attempt at it with pictures and such to support it all in all well done. Good luck.

I will give it a shot, I am a big fan of how Adrian's Undead Diary is going so this may be an interesting take on the subject.

Nice. l like what i see so far.
The video updates are great. Did you project that image on the wall in the second video?

the 2nd video was actually an old baghdad video clip of a bombing run in 2003. I just placed it over the window and tried to mask out any of me overlapping the window

why thanks. I have noticed a massive jump in page views the last few days I must be doing something right. Now the initial storyline has opened up the pacing and general writing style is going to get much deeper now. Just finished a new update and we have our first window pic of the infected.

Would the internet be functional with a zombie apocalypse of this size?

Hey, I took the time to read most of this. And while I did enjoy it, the format makes it really difficult to digest. Also, you would really benefit with some editing - even something as simple as a new set of eyes reviewing your posts before they go live would really help.

Overall though its not a bad read.
