We have noticed a large influx of pitch events being announced. As you know, Pop Up keeps our event a "surprise". It's a bit harder to avoid overlap!

To combat pitch fatigue, we are letting YOU decide whether we should proceed with our 12/3 event or not!

It’s completely in the dark, has lots of fast paced twists and turns, maybe a dead end or two, then a huge drop at the end. #PopUpUnpack #writingcommunity

#WealdandWen would be an on the rails ride, taking riders through atmospheric set pieces. Visitors should expect warm mists, bright colors in all the wrong places, deepest shadows and chittering things lashing out to muss hair and tug clothes.

Ooo i think TMoD would be either a) a dragon themed roller coaster thats exhilarating and kind of beautiful OR b) a slow, spooky, dark ride through a nature infested horror house that leaves you wanting to crawl out your own skin…

Just wrote a scene where my space pirate MC hides in a spun up asteroid’s crater and needs to match its rotation and direction simultaneously; avoid debris; & account for centrifugal force. It made me want a theme park ride that’s a simultaneous roller coaster/Gravitron… Specter’s Wild Ride 🤢🏴‍☠️☄️

i think my current wip is a ferris wheel, specifically one where the ride stops for too long when you don’t have a clear view and the minute you get to the top and can see the whole park, it moves too quickly and you lose it

It's gonna be very cold and very spooky, with candles, thunder, a massive, intense drop at the end.
