Book This! - General Discussion

[GCB]

Have begun writing SMACKDOWN, am excited to write it. Matt vs. Jeff, Kane vs. Taker in Buried Alive match, some other matches I'm really looking forward to. Some big promos with Elimination Chamber on the horizon, this has potential to be my best SMACKDOWN ever/since the night Punk won the World Championship. It has a bit of a PPV feel about it and the first match is getting written out in full just because I feel like it.

Prediction time - Matt or Jeff? Taker or Kane? Who will be the sixth person in the Chamber with the two winners, Punk, Kofi and Show?

 

[The Cult]

Wow looking forward to it GCB! Matt and Kane to pull out the victories! But got a feeling Taker will get the win. Can't wait to read it.

 

[Silly Willy Nilly Vanilly in the Milly]

Matt.
Taker.
And I think Christian, despite his loss last time, will get another chance and get it.

People have lives and work and family and no doubt they are FAR more important than a stupid Book This! show but there are some people, and they are your fans, who expect a post, at least a preview, every week so that they know when to be ready and what to expect. And whoever said JAM is still around here well I got news for you. He's busy on another forum. I hear from him every now and then.

 

[Da Prophet]

Those people are stupid.

They EXPECT a show? So what?

This isn't a real wrestling federation. It's not about making money, if people don't like the frequency of posts, then they'll just have to lump it or move on. I'd suggest subscribing to your favourite, then you'll get an email whenever it's updated. I really don't understand what you're getting at, Icon. You can't expect a quality show every week from people with lives, jobs, families and friends. A good TV show takes me a good 6-8 hours to write - at least. That's going to take some time for me. Would you rather people posted crap shows just so you had something to read every week? I've tried recap shows to keep my BT shows moving, I hated it. My BT is like a fine wine - you gotta give it time. I find it rather ironic that you gave your BT up because you had other things going on but then criticise others for the same thing. If Proph, Peep, Theo et al did the same, BT wouldn't exist.

As for JAM, he'll be back.

Choxy on the other hand - banned again. Wonder why this time. Shame.

 

[GCB]

Speaking of JAM, he's busy where? I know of another forum where he posts, he isn't 'busy' there ...

 

[Da Prophet]

Wait... you're telling me that Chip Butty isn't a real person? Hornswoggle joining Sheamus never happened? What the fuck?

 

[GLOBAL ICON]

I didn't quit because I couldn't handle my personal life with my BT!. I just didn't like to keep others waiting. Anyways, your BT your call. Do whatever you want with it. I'm going off again. And oh yeah, I'm not bothered with viewing any of your goddamn shows.

 

[GCB]

Oh well. See ya then.

I don't remember reading a single show you wrote.

 

[#1Peep]

If Icon isn't going to read my stuff, then I can't be bothered writing it anymore.

Just kidding. Who's Icon?

He wrote 'The Icon View' - surely you remember it?

3 matches of my second show down, 3 to go.
Again, asking for reviews in advance, and also asking reviews for my first for those who haven't checked it out yet.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

MIGHT begin work on my main event on the second episode of Overdrive tonight but no idea really depends on if I feel up to it tonight I know this weekend I have plans already so I would say sometime at the beginning of next week or MAYBE Sunday I finish up Overdrive and get it up but wont be before then.

^^^^^^^

Makes me not want to feedback to you.

Post your shows, the feedback will come if it is good enough.

Focus on getting the basics right. You've got a tough job because people won't know your characters well so you've got to get that blend right. There isn't going to be much to feedback on at this stage until we know/understand them. Be patient and the feedback will come. Don't ask for it!

GCB

 

[Silly Willy Nilly Vanilly in the Milly]

Thanks GCB.
EDIT: That's what I wanted, a tough job- challenge for myself.
Patience isn't one of my strongsuits, but I'm willing to wait as you say.

 

[GrandSword]

Smashing through my latest episode... hadn't been motivated and too busy to get past the first few segments but I'm on a roll now... Wha.. hold on ... Icon isn't waiting for this now!?!?

Oh well, do I keep going?

Advice anyone?

 

[NotoriousMEAT]

Well after a few years on these boards, I finally jumped into a Book This thread! My attempts at reshaping the WWE starting in 2007 have been posted with my first Monday Night RAW going up today! It might start a little familiar since it's hard to put your own stamp on an established time period (unless you just scratch everything and start over) but I'm trying to keep it as realistic as I can. Coming up next though is ECW, and I'll be shaking things up there rather quickly. Come WrestleMania 23, my visions for the thread should really start becoming more clear.

Thanks to anyone who has read so far, and anyone who does read, please enjoy!

Dude it's still disappointing that your stopping your TNA BT after BFG but oh well looking forward to your next episode GS.

Thanks mate. To be honest stopping might have been an exaggeration.. maybe a break before I return to it...

Makes sense haha.

 

[#1Peep]

Smackdown is complete.

 

[georgelfc123]

HeelZiggler, I've posted it on your thread aswell, but you need to cut down on the amount of shows you post a day. Because posting a RAW and SmackDown eachday will just make it difficult for other people to review. Maybe give some people a couple of days to review, but I respect your consistancy

 

[Silly Willy Nilly Vanilly in the Milly]

Just the main event left for my 2nd show... Will probably take my sweet time with it and have the second show up later today, tomorrow, or Monday (because Sunday is NEVER good with me).
