I am looking for several people to add to a writing team for a potential online show. They are not needed to see a script through, or even write any of it. I just need people who can bring their own brand of comedy into it. The show will use puppets, and feature no live human actors. (A Few Dead ones though). The basic premise is the inside look at the life of a labrat, treating their home like a prison. Think OZ, but with rats. Episodes would be around 15 -20 minutes each.
If interested please email me at spademovies@gmail.com please include as much evidence of your style of comedy/humourous writing as possible.
EDIT: Also, the writers would be more than welcome to voice a rat. Auditions for voice actors will be held after the team is assembelled, and the pilot is written.

Any one familiar with animated shows or sitcoms in general will know that I'm talking about a writing panel. Of course they get credit. As one of the writers... Logical.

Sounds great but I'm not sure what kind of humour you're going for. There are plenty of different kinds... are you looking for a little bit of everything?
I just want as many different types/writers as possible. We'll see where the comedy goes after I see what I have.

Just to let everyone know. We had two people interested. Total. I don't want to do a halfassed show, so unless some serious interest is shown. I won't go ahead.

Well it's a good thing that you accepted it to be a lost cause rather than try and keep it going with two writers and have it be a really bad show. Ah well, better luck next time romeospade.
Yeah, I learnt my lesson about halfassing a project before. Not going to waste anyones time.

Two writers isn't a sufficient base to get it going? I find that kind of hard to believe. If nothing else, you could probably get at least two episodes from each writer (If Michel is expressing interest, maybe more as he turns them out quickly.)
Use your base shows to attract other writers.
I'm a comedy writer myself, but know nothing about writing something that would spoof Oz, as I have never seen the show.
If I ever go to prison, I'm making sure I have hundreds of bars of soap. This way, if I drop one in the shower, I can wave good-bye to it and get another.
Back on topic. Writing about gay rape in the shower can only be funny for so long. I think to really get into the intricacies of the plot, you have to explore the seedy underworld of the lab, and how the rats are forced to barter with crackers and cheese to survive.
OK. Well I'm cancelling it officially then. The submissions I have, don't catch my eye as anything special. Over and out.
