 --==oOoOo==-- So what's this, then? A weekly project which is kind of a youtube-podcast-flash-fiction-art thing with mild audience participation. The plan is to write a story about Worlsend Gate each week, record it, and put it on Youtube while taking "noun" suggestions from the comments and viewers. What is Worlsend Gate? It's the Grave Post of the world. Founded by four families who discovered how humanity would end, Worlsend exists fifty miles south of Queen's Galley in the fictional American State of Noxis. If you want the description in comic form, here's a link. The town is based loosely on Silent Hill, Night Vale, Arkham, and so on, with a foundation of hope and despair and four sins of the founders. Stories of Worlsend Gate are based on the citizens of the town, most of which were dreamed up by other people as a community project of my websites(The So-called "Natchians"). These stories will hug the line between fearful and silly. Alright, I'm listening. What's the gimmick? Each week I'll write, direct, produce these little story videos. At the end, Youtubers and you guys may suggest a noun (person, place, or thing) that will link the current episode with the next, creating a chain of stories. These episodes WILL have news at the beginning regarding my work and my website, but I plan to keep that under two minutes and add a little button that will skip to the Worlsend story. The focus will be on the flash-fiction of Worlsend Gate. Was that a spider I just felt? Maybe. Someone trained all the spiders here to actively hide from humans. Just don't look at your hands. Don't worry about them, but don't look at them. What do you want from me? Besides a little patience? Two things. I need noun suggestions. I need critiques. In my limited travels on the net, I haven't seen anyone do this before. I'm sure it's somewhere in the ocean of data, but I certainly am new to this (podcasts, reading out loud, etc...), so I need help. I need to know what I'm doing wrong and how to improve production. What is it about this show that could be done better, and how? Unless I'm told otherwise, I shall makes a little list of episodes here. Updates will happen every Monday. --==oOoOo==-- Grimwit fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Sep 17, 2013 |

New Episode. --==Episode Three: A Pleasant Bus Ride==-- The episode, I was able to take more time and edit properly. Seedlet was awesome. She sent me multiple takes of the same lines, letting me choose which one I liked best. Super great! Grimwit fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Sep 17, 2013 |

New Episode --==Episode Four: Everyone Remembers Their First Time==-- Alright, I'm halfway there. The writing feels...rushed, even though I wrote up to a 4th draft, but the reading came out pretty well. Super Thanks to the Natchians for their voice work. A few more episodes and I might start sounding professional.

Evil Seedlet, a Natchian, added this as Fan Art. It's of Melody from Episode Three! Eventually, I'll get down to sketching all the characters I've used and put it also in the art section.

Newest episode! I was lucky enough to stumble on some 1920's music in Archive.org. Awesome stuff. --==Episode Six: Under an Emerald Moon==-- I've also made some cards of the characters that show up in the show. Here's the seven I've finished.

Alright, a day late, but still kick'n. --==Episode Seven: Am Hoomahn==-- This time around we have a Shame Video for Not updating on time Here it is --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD17eNhX0SA Finally, here's the image in the background of the episode. I'll update the OP. I'm actually surprised. I've been doing this for almost two months and not a single one of you has a critique, comment, or even a ban. Not sure what to make of that.

I know it isn't much of an addition, and I'm sorry. If you saw last episode, you'll know that this week my wife and I took some time off. Normally Sunday is my big day of working on the Podcast and that was just out the window. We DID go to the Ren. Fair in Maryland, tho! Jousting. Anyway, I took a little time this Monday to make more Character Cards. Here they are. They're descriptions are on the second post.
