The Schedule for Monday, October 31st
Undead Pride Day is scheduled for Monday, October 31st. On that day cities around the globe will be hosting Undead Pride events.*
*All Undead Pride events are fictional, and only exist in the descriptions that you make of them on Twitter (and Facebook, Tumblr, Google Plus and other social networks.) Together, we will create the reality.
So on that Monday, take to Twitter and the other networks and write about what YOU are seeing and experiencing at the Undead Pride events near you.
There is a basic schedule of events you can use as a guideline for what you talk about, but we encourage you to go off the script whenever you feel like to describe your own personal story of the day. Do not feel constrained by the schedule - your creativity is what makes these events come to life.
A few tips:
-Follow the main twitter account @UndeadPrideDay. It will send out the schedule during the day, alert you to changes and additions, as well as provide links and retweets to especially good contributions.
-Tag everything you post with #undeadpride
-Feel free to dip in and out over the course of the day as your time allows. There is no requirement to be glued to your phone for 12 hours straight (although if you want too…)
-Find other people online who are playing and talk to each other. Invite others into your story. Play along with the stories that other people are telling. This, more than anything else, is the key to creating a memorable event.
