Hey guys! I noticed we don't really have an official procedure for making new show except that you make a thread for it on the Pitches board. I've noticed that users (including me) have just been going straight to admins to get their shows approved and I don't think that's fair. So I think we should have an official procedure for getting new shows created. Here is how I think it should go:


 * Step 1 - You go to the Pitches board and you pitch the show. The entire community discusses it, tweaks it if we need to, and we eventually come to a final plot for the show. On the same thread, we can hold a voting to see if we should continue with the show and make it a pilot. We should come to a final conclusion about whether this show has potential or not. If not, the show does not continue. If so, we take it on to the next step!


 * Step 2 - For the next step, we order a pilot for the show! We could announce the pilot in a press release and then whoever created it can start casting for the pilot. They can make a page for the show and everything. Once the show is casted (or mostly casted) then the user can make another thread on the Pitch board and pitch a few pilot ideas. We use these pilot ideas as a guide to see how the episodes will go. Using the cast and the pilot ideas, we discuss whether or not we really should continue with this show. We could discuss changes we could make to it, additions, things like that. Then we make a final decision about it. If we decide to scrap it, we cancel the pilot. If we decide to continue, we move onto the next step!


 * Step 3 - The final step is we pickup the show to a series! We make a press release saying it's been picked up and we tell how many episodes and everything. Then in another thread we can start discussing when it'll air and then the creator can go to town on the show! :)

So what do you guys think? I really like this because it's kind of like how it's done in real life ya know? And it allows everyone's opinion to be heard. So should we follow the procedure?
