>I agree (I write/produce Pahala Shore). I say go for >it and start your own series or soap. Mini-series >(like The Gift on my site, Pennelson Productions) is a >good way to test the water, or even a reality series. >Since you have so many great ideas, go for it. One >thing, make sure your soap has a good angle/slant to >set it apart from other soaps. To prevent Pahala from >being another Suburb Sim, the amount of cross-overs is >limited and the story follows a set of younger sims >(college and young adults) than Sageway is. If you see >interesting chracters on another soap, then approach >that producer. > >As one of the writers for Suburb Sim, I knew Roxy >didn't get a lot of air time and she seemed >interesting to me, I had already written storylines >for some of my sims and had a soap planned for the old >dimension (The Sims 1) but that was trashed after The >Sims 2 arrived. When I approached the producer about >using Roxy in a soap about college students it fit >perfectly since Roxy was about to leave for college >anyhow, so it was a natural transition, however Pahala >Shore had to be different from SS in order to survive. > >Personally at times having a character from another >soap is hard, since I don't want to know the >storylines of SS in advance (spoils the episodes for >me), I have to watch carefully and incorperate any >important details into Pahala Shore (take Garth's >accusation and trial, his child would know about it >while she was in college, even if she didn't return >home for it). > >Like Sam said-it's VERY time consuming and viewers >don't like long lulls bewteen episodes or even stops >and starts. PS left the screens after I lost the files >for the characters, but now it's back with sims from >other hoods (see Simmerville for more information on >that type of gameplay). Also, I film far in advance. >Right now I have enough episodes filmed to last until >the middle of April (with two episodes aired a month) >and I am only five scenes away from finishing the >filming for the rest of the season (the end of May). > >If a mini-series is not your cup of tea, the reality >series is a bit easier (depending on what you decide) >When I did the SimBachelor series, I could film the >entire series over 1-3 weekends since it was basically >letting the sims go on free will and recording the >photos and adding reasons/motivations behind thier >actions. > >I hope you start something, I've seen your ideas and >you seem to have a lot of them, so take the plunge and >hope to see your show on the airwaves soon.
