Allentown Zombie Examiner

Loki!
I've been mulling over the categories and "areas of expertise" available.  While my original idea was to apply for Religion & Spirituality so I could do articles on heathenism and Asatru and Odhinnism, I've had a brilliant brainflash that will allow me to have a lot more fun, focus more on humor, AND potentially claim certain home decor as tax deductible for work.   I've noticed that a lot of "examiners" focus on a specific franchise within the field of Arts & Entertainment.  There's a Twilight Examiner, Lost Examiner, Harry Potter Examiner, etc.  I was thinking it would be fun to be a Zombie Examiner-- then I could review books, movies, games, clothes/toys/misc, Zombie Crawls and Zombie Proms (they have those in Philly!), and even include stuff on Drac's Ball and NaNoWriMo. 

Or I could be a Vampire Examiner and include history and folklore along with the standard reviews and geekery. 

Or I could see how they feel about just a general Allentown Undead Examiner and cover both zombies AND vampires.  That way I can indulge in my real-life zombie mania AND my fascination with shroud eaters and mythology. 

But I'll open this up to a general survey:  What kinds of non-fiction articles do you think I should write?  In other words, is there a certain topic that you'd be eager to read about if you knew *I* was the one writing about it?  I'm posing this question to everyone just so I can figure out what kind of audience I might have (no sense in writing about Odhinnism if no one's going to read it!).

Mmmm, the more I think about it, the more I want to be the official Undead Examiner.  That will look fabulous on my resume!

I've only read about 15-20 of your 500 entries and I've enjoyed them all. Most of them are just updates I guess and not about any one particular non-fiction topic so I don't know what you're good at writing. Seems like you would be good at writing anything so I say pick the thing you're most passionate about.

I like to read about sports but I'm guessing that's not your field of expertise.

I WOULD like to read articles on your take of different religions.

Good luck on whatever you pick!
