    I want to work with other people

    Sadly I have no videos to share (except for my English class project, but its terrible). Ive got a lot of story concepts Im thinking of turning into novels, but I have one series I desperately want to turn into a television-style Youtube series (the one I keep bringing up). While Ive reached...

    plot Realistic Criminal Organization: Loyalty, Incentives, Environment, and Betrayal?

    Ok, thanks for responding. What you just described would definitely be the type of thing that would horrify my protagonist and drive him to leave the organization he works for. A big part of my story is that my protagonist does leave the organization he worked for. The fact he doesn't have any...

    plot Realistic Criminal Organization: Loyalty, Incentives, Environment, and Betrayal?

    I stepped away for a few days, and thought a bit. I am writing fiction, so I have leeway; but I don't want to defy the laws of nature and logic anymore than is absolutely necessary to give the type of experience I am trying to offer. With that said, you make an interesting point about upper...

    plot Realistic Criminal Organization: Loyalty, Incentives, Environment, and Betrayal?

    Interesting. I am kind of proud of how punctual I am sometimes; I don't have a lot going on in my life and I never leave at the last possible minute to get somewhere (except the post office, for some reason, but I'm a pretty quick driver). Borrowing from my own experience and applying it to the...

    plot Realistic Criminal Organization: Loyalty, Incentives, Environment, and Betrayal?

    WOW! That's a lot of replies; I really appreciate it. If it is true that FEAR is what primarily motivates everyone in the organization to be loyal, then this actually makes my job a little easier; I thought it was more complicated. Granted, I will still do some research because I care about...

    plot Realistic Criminal Organization: Loyalty, Incentives, Environment, and Betrayal?

    Hello, thanks for the response. My only understanding for how a criminal organization would run is based solely on what I've seen on television. I was wondering if any intelligent human being would ever want to work for a criminal organization since you sacrifice all of your freedoms, put...

    plot Realistic Criminal Organization: Loyalty, Incentives, Environment, and Betrayal?

    Hello, I have a question relevant to my story. A key part of the plot is that my protagonist is going to get recruited into a criminal organization and work for them for a few months, somewhat tolerating the lifestyle, until he witnesses atrocities that are so reprehensible that he decides to...

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    Hello, Im not asking a question, just announcing that Im not giving up. I’ve been spending a lot of hours rethinking the entire series and trying to draw connections between isolated scenes and making sure they line up in a coherent and meaningful way. I may be onto something. One issue with my...

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    Hello everyone, I want to start by saying how much I appreciate your feedback. While I may receive suggestions or constructive criticism that kind of "suck the wind out of my sails" and make me wonder if this story is worth telling, they can also help me to identify "blockages" that are...

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    That is a very big point in season 2. Fred has never had a girlfriend, hes socially awkward, and now has a criminal record. He realizes that he needs to get a respectable job and to stop living out of a storage unit if hes going to have a prayer of finding a stable relationship. There will be a...

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    I thought about going that route for a while; where the main character has (off-screen) been in and out of trouble for years before the story begins. One big concern I have for making my character a former criminal turned criminal again is that this character would never do the things that are...

    @StoneJack Did I mention my uncle's name somewhere? I don't remember calling him Bob.

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    Short answer: I spent a lot of time thinking about and writing that second synopsis, so I'd like to see what some other people say first before I completely give up on it. I recently discovered the Dan Harmon Story Circle and realized I had accidentally/coincidentally followed 6 of the steps...

    Hello, All your feedback is greatly appreciated. I am pleasantly surprised that my post has gotten lots of attention recently; I felt like I’d run into a wall and I appreciate all the constructive criticism you have provided to help me direct my attention to weaker areas so that the series as a...

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    Thanks for the feedback. This has been the most Ive ever gotten ever, and its all happened in less than a week. Ive got some polishing to do; huge chunks of the story have never been summarized in text before, so Ill need to hash it all out and analyze it over several days so that I can...

    critique High-Octane Thrill-Ride, but grounded in reality. Feedback welcome.

    Hello and thank you for your feedback. Please let me know if there is a better way, but I was going to film this in the style of a television series, but post some of the early episodes on Youtube. I would post links of these Youtube videos on car forums that I think would be interested. I’ve...
