Well as most of you know we here at SPN have been thinking about a project for about 3 years now. While I have always been more comfortable writing sketch comedy I have always wanted to try my hand at writing an actual 5 minute per episode series. While it wouldn't have a very linear story line, I find it hard to write anything intresting that we could actually film, it would have a set cast with constant characters.
Although it's been in my mind for 3 years it's really right now only in the opening verbal discussion, mainly to solve set and character problems. Having said that character development has never been my strong suit as I always stick to sketch, even in playwriting.
Luckly we seem to have some set and cast slots filled so it mainly all comes down to character traits and storys to be developed.
Now although we have entered a vocal discussion phase for this it does not mean we are going to follow through and start it, we are just talking, but it seems like it's the closest I've been to doing so. If we do end up puting this series together it will likely not be until next year, I was hoping it to be sooner since I have a year off school. Even if we do the project normal SPN videos will still be writen and released along side them, I was hoping for one episode a month.
Anyways, I'll fill you in on any developments.

May I suggest, that before committing to doing a full series, make a pilot and judge how your many fans feel about it and then continue from there.

You mean all 3 or 4 people...
I was going to do what I always do, make it and if it feels good doing it, then do some more.

Because I need some sort of outlet.

Is an outlet really an outlet if it causes stress?

It's a creative outlet, not a stress outlet. Anyone how knows me knows that I have to keep myself busy all the time.

Or kill them... sometimes both.
Either way even if we do just do a "pilot" episode we still need to work out all the details so we have an idea what we are building off of.
