I hope each person on the team will develop one or two such characters.

Jilly Kidd has given me our first series plan. It offers a very promising world concept, one that could accommodate multiple characters and draw on other talent resources in SL. It could be modified to fit more than one series.

I expect this to be a recurring event if we find that some others can make it. Of course, we will look for other times as needed for other people-- when we are working on someone's idea, we will want that person to be able to participate.

*Concept includes descriptions of
- the important characters
- the world they live in
- comedic situations that will serve for episodes
Amazon says:
We are looking for 22-minute narrative live action or animated primetime series you can't find anywhere else. Generally speaking, we like character-driven ideas in well-defined worlds. We want shows that are smart, original, loud in concept and most of all, funny; think Archer or Curb Your Enthusiasm. For live-action, we prefer shows with some level of serialization. We are not looking for sketch, reality or talk shows. All scripts should be within the normal television standards for content and language.The resulting proposal(s) would not necessarily be submitted to Amazon's invitation, but the above guidance describes what Amazon considers suitable for commercial comedy on web television. Thus the project will follow those guidelines.

I hope each person on the team will develop one or two such characters.
-
Develop means
- write a description of the character with emphasis on comedic features
- write a scene that illustrates the character in comedic action
- write a back-story as the character would tell it
- suggest the kind of other characters that would work well with this character
- describe the world that this character should live in
- describe several comedic situations that this character would work in.
- be ready to play (improv) the character at group meetings
