Writers Wanted for the Apocalypse

Hey boys and gals

Are you a fun, happy person who likes to think about the end of the world and doomsday scenarios?
Do you like to imagine what post apocalyptic landscape might look like?
Are you obsessed with the inevitable ruin of mankind?!

If you are....or you think you might be..... or would like to be.... then I got a job* just for you!!!

I want to produce a semi-improvised, character based, end of the world radio podcast......
"What in the God's name is that?!" I presume you think..... well drop me a line and I shall reveal all, but generally:

There is an idea, there has been some groundwork, I can give you a brief and there are actors and improvisers who are rearing to go..... now all I need is some awesome writing power to help me devise (many versions of) the world's demise..... it aint a big job and I would only need a small time commitment as I am looking for a few writers to help me get the job done.

If you like the sounds of this and would like to know more send me a message. I would really appreciate if you include a quick list of your top 3 end of the world scenarios.

Thanks for reading,

*job= unpaid project, there will be cups of tea and I am happy to post out biscuits for those far removed (I am London based and would ideally want to get other Londonites onboard, but don't let geographical location stand in your way and contact away!)

Will the world end before my biscuits get to me in the post?

Probably, given the looming Royal Mail strike. ;)

Well they most definitely will not get to you before the apocalypse as I envision the apocalypse itself originating in the Royal Mail Complaints department whence all of a sudden it starts overflowing with strongly worded comedic complaint letters demanding biscuits that had never been sent :)

Laughing out loud

Yes! I seem to remember some kind of reference to that effect in the Book of Revelations. Or was it Nostradamus?

It actually could be caused by a biscuit shortage...I know that a lack of interesting biscuits can result in domestic Armageddon and spilt tea in my house.

Well the 4 horsemen of apocalypse (commonly thought of as Famine, Death, War and Pestilence) are actually called Flapjack, Digestive, Wafer and Pevarini

"Flapjack riding the pale horse" doesn't have the same ring. Flapjacks would be easy to beat in chess...

but what if you made chess pieces made out of flapjacks? Then whichever way flapjack would always win... those sneaky sneaky flapjacks.......

Who's a flapjack's favourite Polar explorer?

Captain Oates.
