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 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!
