I now have two ideas for my final project. I think the one I'm going to end up trying to do involves an "historical documents archive" containing "found" materials from a period in "history" involving a zombie invasion.
The idea is this-- there was a zombie invasion at some point in the early 21st century. After years of struggle and turmoil, the virus causing the zombie invasion appears to have died out, and isolated survivor settlements across the US started cautiously coming out to take stock of the new world. As they began exploring the old cities, now ruined by incursion of undergrowth, etc. they discovered several servers that had not been destroyed. On these servers are blog posts, videos, pictures, all from a group of survivors attempting to make it to safety. These fragmentary survival stories are being gathered into a historical archive as what is left of mankind attempts to make sense of the past.
That's how the website will be set up, anyway. The physical "meat" of the project will be the blog postings, made from computers, cellphones, and voice chat to the blogs, as well as several photographs and videos, and perhaps even a videolog, with transcriptions to match.
It should be a fun project. I have volunteers ready to help expand the blog postings, as well as dress up as zombies and stage photos.
