Attention: this is a call to arms for all SSers. Our loyal comrade Darthmat went to the trouble of creating a truly kickass forum called The Writer's Block quite some time ago. We had some good times on that forum, but it was always slow going. And now it has been declared really most sincerly dead.

Now is the time for us to come to the aid of our fallen friends. I call upon all of you to help us give that forum a little mouth-to-mouth rescesitation.

How many of you have read World War Z (if you haven't, do it because it's freaking amazing)? For those losers who haven't, it's a collection of fake "interview" from all types of people who were caught up in various stages of the zombie apocalypse.
Here's my idea: we write one with a similar style, that tells the story of a global student uprising. Everyone would go to The Writer's Block, to the special forum Darthmat has provided for this very purpose, write a few, and then we'd compile them all into a badass book.
So if you feel like this would be a good idea, head on over and register. It will depend on how many people decide to get involved, but if each person wrote around 2-4 segments, it should do nicely. Once all the people who are onboard get together, we can lay out a general "timeline" for the revolution so that everyone's stories can tell look like a coherent historical record. Here's the catch though: it can't all be students. We'll need some from the perspectives of cops, soldiers, teachers, civilians, and family members related to the troops on both sides. Put it all together and it should turn out awesome.

This is the last stand of the Writer's Block...
SO WHO'S WITH US???
