AWWWWW XHF! DONT YOU DARE BE SOUR, CLAP FOR YOUR WORLD-FAMOUS T-G-K AND FEEL THE POWAAAAHHH!
IT'S A NEW FED, YES IT IS!
So the first night of TGK's 6-man climax is up! And what did you think of it? Here's the place to post it so Mad Dog knows what to do differently and what to keep on doing!
My initial thoughts: I thought it was a little awkward having the show hosted on Wordpress, it might have been a bit easier posting the entire thing here.
That said, TGK's site is a great little company website and gives the fed a really "pseudo-professional" feel. I like the little nuggets of news we get, though it was a little strange reading matches as a series of different posts rather than in one big post.
Another thing TGK does differently is writing style. Gone are the standard "script" style matches in favour of prose. It's unconventional but it works as Mad Dog is a great writer and he's extremely effective at adding in those little details that add a lot to a scene.
Overall, short show but very well written though I'm not sure whether I'm meant to understand the twist at the end or whether GDG is a completely new character that we're sorta supposed to play along with as if he's a returning legend. Either way, Furetcha is going to have to cut a hell of a promo against him!
great show, Mad Dog, keep up the good work!

Thanks steele. I'd argue that the real strength of TGK was the great roster that you and everyone else contributed to.
I'm thinking about doing the results on the actual forum and phasing out the blog.
God Damn Grandpa was a character that I wrote for the "sample show" people could look at before deciding wether or not they wanted to participate in TGK. It's still on the blog, about the same size as our first episode, in leagnth.

The roster did turn out great, MD. I'm really hoping everyone sticks around for the next show.
The writing was excellent and a lot of fun. The opening and closing chaos paints the fed in a good light for the future.
If you do move things to the board, I'd advise also posting the sample and first show too; just for archival purposes.
It was a lot of fun, Mad Dog; but I can see how something of that size could kill you on a weekly schedule. You may want to consider adding another admin/writer if possible. I know you mentioned a monthly show; which could work too (though you might want to have little events here and there throughout the month to keep people rping. Like autograph signings or "Tragic Roadside Clean Up Day" or something.
Solid first show, dude. You should be proud

Wanna see Frank Fletcher in dem short shorts. But what would the process be for adding writers and such? Is it like recruiting for roster members?

I generally recommend hiring admins from within the fed, since they already have a stake in it. You'd also want someone who follows your writing style for shows. Even just one guy nearly halves the work you have to do
I have a recommendation should you choose to add another staffer to your team, if you want it just shoot me a PM
