Thanks for the welcome, and stuff, have any food? It's cold and I'm hungry, and tired of beans...

thank you ^^ its an awesome site so far I'm loving it ^^

ty, tryin' to figure the workings

Thank you so much Josh!  I am particularly struck by the diversity of the site, impressive.  Below is an explanation of what constitutes a "participatory culture".  Lost Zombies seems to incorporate all five aspects of a participatory culture.  

#3 explains the mentoring aspect.  In order to maintain the quality of the film, are some contributions disregarded?  Are participants ever given suggestions for how to improve their contributions?  How do members know if their films will be included?

Thank you again, this is very helpful.

For the moment, let’s define participatory culture as one:

1.With relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement

2.With strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others

3.With some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is

passed along to novices 

4.Where members believe that their contributions matter

5.Where members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they

care what other people think about what they have created).

Thank you!  I am a graduate student researching online participatory communities.  If you have a moment, or are so inclined, can you answer a couple of questions?

Does this site have mentors?  

How is the site monitored?

What is the driving force behind this site?

When is the movie going to be completed?

Is the editing a communal effort, or is it done by moderaters/administrators of the site?

Anything else I should know?

Thank you, I hope this isn't too intrusive.
