LAST EDITED ON 03-03-08 AT 03:28 PM (EST)First - Complete admiration for the work you and Zoid put in, I don't think I could attempt it and function at work, and the dreams must be maddening. But what you do is so nice and smart that I promise, I will catch up. I love it so far.
And I appreciate the insight to what it might take to think thru the doing of a BB series, it's actually kinda intriguing the way you lay it out.
Now, what pops into my mind is to do it totally from the vantage point of one hamster, and lay it out as a mystery. Which wouldn't have foreordained conclusion.
One would have to get away from the viewpoint of being in the audience watching the show, or reading the book, or even the idea that it was a fictional BB series (which it actually would be), but that it is more of a personal experience. It wouldn't be a mystery in the sense that there is a central crime to solve, but in the sense that one is involved as the crime is being committed around you. Or a series of mini-crimes.
Not putting yourself into the mind of each character could make it a more manageable project. Perhaps less entertaining as well.
An actual crime (a murder? murders? A subtly serial killer cast in the show?) wrapped in the guise of a BB TV show?....Nah, too Jessica Fletcher.
I'm going to come back to this later and see if I made any sense.
ETA: I think I just repeated Estee (roughly at least) - Beg pardon. Also for thread jack
