No joke: I'm creating a soap opera. OMGWTFBBQ
 

Me and my writing partner and fraternity brother have been fans of daytime television all our lives. Whether it’s The Young & The Restless, Days of Our Lives, Passions, or Dark Shadows, we're men who appreciate a good drama. Now it’s our turn! We want to return soap operas to their roots: strong characters, strong families, and strong stories.

Join us as we create a new serial for folks like us. Interested in joining the writing staff? Send me a PM! We're looking for volunteer breakdown writers and script writers. This will be a labor of love for folks who love soaps and good storytelling.

Note: A head writer (me and my partner) is responsible for the creation of the show, the core characters and families, and the overall story bible. The breakdown writers are the folks who pitch plot ideas to the writing team and create "breakdowns" for the script of each episode. The script writers are the dialog mavens. They take the breakdowns and make them into scripts.

Like I said, send a PM if you're interested.

Not much good in the writing category, but if one of your characters happens to be a petite redhead with striking blue/green eyes, I won't say no to an acting role in your story. :)

Seriously, I'm excited for you. I hope you grab on to this with both hands and do with it what you're being called to do.<3<3<3

This is awesome, Sen :)

I wish I had the patience to put some of my goals into action like you (and AF and ree-xi) have done.

Thank you!!!!

And just so you (and everyone else) is fully aware -- we intend to take this back to the roots of storytelling. We want to do an internet radio show. We think that even though daytime serials are being cancelled left and right, there is still a thirst for good story telling and that people will tune in from work, home, or download it to their iPods.

So we could use your voice anyway, regardless of how the character looks ;)

Gettin laid off is a good motivator! If I'm going to be a starving writer, it won't be for long!

Well everybody knows, my mama always says "people don't know when you're hungry, but they know when you're homeLESS" uh huh. :D

Seriously excited for you, Good Luck!

LOL

Thanks! You know you want to get on this writing staff!

Man you would do this AFTER I don't have time to write as much anymore.

I know the feeling! Hang in there though.

Knock it out!

used to watch Days while in HS...don't know how that started. Maybe it was Marlena's exorcism and Stefano being Jesus (the deaths and coming back)

LMAO @ Stefanesus

Good luck Sen. I grew up on CBS soaps, scheduled college classes around Y&R/ATWT/GL, taped them while out in the working world, and may never recover from the destruction and cancellation of Guiding Light.

If I had that kind of talent, I sure would! However, I would love to lend my voice. Just think, the fear of participating in akward sex scenes has vanished. :D Once you all get to the phase of seeking out actresses, let me know!

I'm sorry for the loss of your CBS shows, seriously. It's a shame what they did to Guiding Light.

LOL....will do!

Having watched Y&R literally since I was born (the whole naming your child after a certain Abbott sister phenomenon....yeah, thanks Mom), this is AWESOME.

Everything I know about radio drama comes from listening to The Cinnamon Bear over Thanksgiving vacation as a kid. I bet I could make really good sound effects though ;)

However I have no writing skills whatsoever. If you ever need other assistance I'd be glad to offer what I can.
