You know, the frequently asked questions. For questions that get asked. Frequently.
What is your posting schedule?
I post a daily news wrapup at the end of every weekday, usually around 5:30 p.m. (Mountain time) except when it is later or the very rare occasion when it is earlier. I promise at least one piece of non-news content – review, essay, think piece, featured link, funny video, zombie porn, whatever – a week. Sometimes I post non-news feature content daily, if I have the time and energy. In other words, it doesn’t hurt to check back every day; at very least you’ll get a news post.
I can’t be bothered to bookmark and check back. How can I be notified of new content?
You could subscribe to my RSS feed. Or, follow the site’s official Twitter feed. You could even become a fan of the site on Facebook. See how easy I make it for you?
Do you do videos or a podcast or something? Reading words is really hard.
Not yet. I hope to do something in both of those areas soon, though. If it is important to you, and would make you visit more often and/or shower me with money, you should bug me about it a lot and I will work harder to make such a thing a reality.
I’m a zombie filmmaker/comic book creator/author/whatever and I’d love you to review my movie/book/whatever. How can I make that happen?
E-mail me the basic info and I will get back to you with an address to send stuff to (or a way to get the digital files to me) and give you an idea of when you might see your work reviewed. The address is cory.casciato[at]gmail.com
Do you take submissions? I love zombies and want to write about them and/or I have a great review/news piece/whatever I’d love to see here.
Sort of. Sometimes. As a general rule, the IZA is comprised of my work and I am not looking for regular contributors. However, I do run the occasional guest post and if you have a newsy item, I definitely want to hear about it. Some of my most popular posts started life that way, and I always give credit if I use something you sent along. Make sure and include a URL if you want me to link back to you.
I have a zombie or horror related product and I’d love to see it advertised here. Do you sell advertising space directly?
Of course I do. These zombies chained up in the basement won’t feed themselves (well, they would if I let them go, but that would mean the End of Everything). I’m still finalizing my rates but e-mail me (cory.casciato[at]gmail.com or use the form at the bottom of this page) with an idea of what you have in mind and I expect we can come to an agreement that you will find them very competitive for such a focused, popular site (traffic stats available for serious inquiries).
What’s the difference between a capsule review and a review?
Capsule reviews are short takes, less than 250 words, on a given movie, book, game or whatever. Reviews are 250+ words, for movies, etc. that deserve more attention for one reason or another.
Why would you do that? It hardly seems fair. Shouldn’t everyone get the same treatment? Why don’t you write the same amount about all these movies/books/etc.?
Because, let’s face it, most of them barely warrant the 200 or so words I give them. The vast majority of zombie movies are pure crap, and the ratio isn’t much better in other forms of media. They don’t need an epic deconstruction of every element of the piece, just a quick overview to tell you what to expect and how well it is executed. Want to know more? Have a specific question I didn’t answer? Tell me in the comments and I am 99.9 percent likely to respond. I’m nice that way.
Do you really get asked these questions frequently?
Not really. But if I did get asked questions frequently, these are the questions I would expect to be asked.
Damn. My question isn’t answered here.
That’s not really a question, is it? But if you have a question, e-mail me at cory.casciato[at]gmail.com (you do know to replace the [at] with an @, right?) and I will answer it. Hell, I’ll probably even add it to the FAQ. You can also use the form directly below this answer if you don’t like e-mail.
