1. WordCamp Tokyo 2016
How one post turned into a 60+
author Pulpozaur.pl blog
by Aldona Pikul

2. Hi, my name is
Aldona and I am
a blogger from
Kraków, Poland.

3. February 2013:
I should be writing
my Master thesis
but I’d rather binge-
watch TV series.

4. February 2, 2013:
I am a blogger so, naturally, I just had to
share my thoughts with the world on my
blog!
The Big Bang Theory

5. BOOM! Huge friends’ reaction on social
media, who say:
There should be a place
where others could share
their reactions to TV
series episodes like you
just did!

6. LET’S
MAKE IT
HAPPEN!

7. February 12, 2013:
I gather friends who liked the post the most –
Katarzyna Bajka, Przemek Zańko, and Artur Nowrot –
and we brainstorm
a. Structure: categories, types of articles, tags
b. Visuals: how should the website look
c. Publishing logistics: how do we get readers to
share their reactions and how do we maintain the
quality of articles
d. THE NAME: this one was tough

8. PULP (FICTION) + DINOSAUR
(because dinosaurs are cool!)

9. Karina Graj, our
graphic designer
friend, helped with
the visuals and
created our mascot!
PULPUŚ

10. LAUNCH DATE: 1 MARCH 2013
We got to work:
Write enough
articles to fill
the site for
the launch
Build the
website (that
was my task)

11. WordPress.com: ideal solution
when you have little budget like us
Using Custom CSS extension to grant
wishes of my team
When in trouble: ask questions on the
WordPress forum (that’s how I got into
translating!)
LAUNCH DATE: 1 MARCH 2013

12. LAUNCHED!

13. COMMUNITY INPUT
There should be a place where
others could share their
reactions to TV series episodes
like you just did!
Anyone can submit an
article via e-mail
Anyone can join multi-
author discussion articles
Curation: we read the article and
decide if it’s well-written
Policy: no to hating! No to pointless criticising!
Every article is proof-
read before publication

14. IN REAL LIFE
3 birthday parties, two of them – mini-conferences
Dozens of conventions and conferences as speakers

15. CONVENTIONS
SERIALKON 2014: first TV series convention in Poland

16. CONVENTIONS
SERIALKON 2015: twice as long, twice as big!

17. CONVENTIONS
