STBD Story Meeting and You

On Monday, several STBD regulars convened at a pair of tables in the Shadyside Crazy Mocha to float ideas for Season Five of STBD. We discussed goals and concepts for various characters, and for the series as a whole.

As with any brainstorming session, some ideas and insights were spot-on, and some weren't received quite so warmly. But exchanging these ideas is an integral part of creating the series WE want STBD to be.

What about you?

We'd love to open the story creation process to the audience as well, since you're the ones who keep coming back for more. Do you have specific ideas you'd like to pitch for Season Five? Would you like to try your hand at writing a scene? Let us know!

We're considering the merits of an STBD wiki. Would those of you inclined to provide ideas be interested in the wiki format?

Feel free to post comments here, or to email jkownacki somethingtobedesired com.

Interesting and funny things happen on STBD, but there's always the sense that the characters are going to be "ok" regardless. This may be by design, in order to keep things light and breezy, but there's no sense of anything "mattering". It's like the shuffling of chess pieces around the board without any of them being taken off... Not meaning taken off, like taken off the show like they do in soap operas, but there's no sense that anything's at stake for the characters in the short run or the long run.

Again, this may be by design. If not, I think a season-long planning out of an arc of things that MATTER for each character would add to the depth (and unfortunately the complexity) of STBD, which is already enjoyable as well as a pioneer and leader in the field, as far as I'm concerned. :)

Leo should get another girlfriend. There are few funnier moments on the show than when Leo revels in his undue happiness.
