Casting Calls

What we're looking for in the "auditions" is less of what you've done in the past and more of what you're hoping to bring to the series.

[b:2y1izkxm][u:2y1izkxm]Audition Criteria:[/u:2y1izkxm][/b:2y1izkxm]
Example Post(s) - An example of your writing that best defines your character (limit 3 posts)
Your Role - Main Cast, Supporting Cast, Guest Star, Cameo Appearance
[quote:2y1izkxm]Main Cast - Featured characters in multiple episodes. This means a bigger commitment and more writing but at the same time no one is going to force you to post. Main cast members must participate in at least 15 episodes during a single season. (ex. SG-1 from Stargate)

Supporting role - This is still a major character that has a reoccurring part, the only difference is that where the main role will have multiple episodes featuring him or her, a supporting role will only have a few, if any depending on preference. It's not necessarily a smaller or insignificant role. Supporting cast may appear in up to 15 episodes during a single season. (ex. General Hammond from Stargate)

Guest star - They can be here for one episode or be a reoccurring character throughout the series. Someone that comes and goes and it's always a treat to have them. A Guest Star may be in up to 5 episodes during a single season. (ex. Bra'tac from Stargate)

Cameo Appearances - A character that wants to have maybe a post or two in an episode just to be involved but doesn't want to be a major part.[/quote:2y1izkxm]
Your Character's Role - What you want your character to be during this/what part you want to play. Basically lay out how you see your character being portrayed in this (Hero, anti-hero, villain, etc.), it helps to be as detailed as possible.
Your Episode - What you plan on using as a base for one or more of your feature episodes. (Optional)
Time - How much time you can commit to the show. (Main and Supporting Cast)

You can also add things like why you want a main role or if you'll have other characters in various roles. Remember that main roles will become available as the show goes on, whether it be due to character deaths, leaving the show, or various other reasons, and there is also the possibility that extra slots will be added through the series.

These roles aren't set in stone, this is just the starting cast. The show will adapt as it goes on.
