I had an idea that I thought might be fun for each of our scripts. I was thinking what if at the beginning of every episode description, we had a "Previously On..." segment, and at the end of the episode we could have a "Next time...on Buffy the Vampire Slayer..."

Now of course Neil wouldn't have to do a "Previously On..." segment for the first episode because obviously we won't know what will happen at the end of Season 7. And here's how I thought w could write the "Next time..." segments: Well didn't Kash say the episodes would be posted here first before anywhere else and we'd get a few done at a time before we posted any? So it's not like one goes out without having any more done.

Well here's I thought it could go: Episode 2 is finished and posted on this board. The person writing episode 3 reads that and writes a very short "Previously on..." Segment, including direct quotes from the previous episodes. Including direct quotes will make it less work and more like the real segments. Then episode 4 will be posted on this board before episode 3 goes out anywhere else, so then the writer of episode 3 can read episode 4 and go back and write a "Next time..." episode to include on episode 3 and submit it to Kash. So just like a little addition to the episode once the next one is finish. It will work if we do like 3 episodes at a time, which I thought Kash said would happen.

It wouldn't be much more work at all, especially if we take direct quotes out, and I thought not only would it be fun for us but also build up a little hype on the boards for the next episode. What do you all think?

We would have to be, as you say, at least 3 episodes ahead of any other places that post the episodes *coughcoughBC&Scoughcough*. I'm up for that, though, seeing as mine's a two-parter i'm gonna need that "previously" bit!
