Right, I'm done with the negativity. Constructive criticism and valid posts are the only ones I'll address from here on in. I'm merely fuelling the fire at the moment.
To give you an idea or option, the film I talked about before did a kick starter to get their film off the ground. Might be something for you to consider -

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm retaining all of the IP or not doing it.
If people were to invest actual money in it I'd also feel bad giving them random crap rather than an actual meaningful stake, which I wouldn't be prepared to do.
Might be good advertising mind, maybe I could take it on Dragon's Den.
Perfect, you're on the Good List Baz. So appreciated.
Right, suggestions on getting that out there effectively? Given it contains almost nothing?
'Wild Berry Vape Club' (£10), ensuring that your name appears in the credits
'Timehopper' (£25), all the benefits of 'Wild Berry Vape Club' plus exclusive access to production staff through our official channels
'Hot Tubber' (£50), all the benefits of 'Timehopper' plus FIVE signed pictures of Yevrah (selection to choose from)
'Yoghurt Knitter' (£100), all the benefits of 'Hot Tubber' plus a pocket book of his best forum posts and a 'SCIENCE' t-shirt (sizes XXS to S, black only)
Fucking hell 😂
That is genuinely exactly how I thought it would look. It's fucking brilliant. More so if you know what'll follow, probably not at all if you don't.

The grind is on.
There’s a whole raft of time shifting series that have been made, and a lot of really popular one so if you can mail it then it’ll definitely get attention.
Might be worth trying to understand why some held interest and others didn’t. Flashforward got canned after 1 series, life on Mars/ashes to ashes did very well. What can you learn from your analogues?
I’d imagine a lot of the intrigue will come from working out what’s happened, but that’s more drama that sitcom.
Will there be any different perspectives on each of the time zones? Ie is the forward through the lens of a guy and the back through the eyes of a girl? One of my favourite films is along those lines (flipped) and despite it being a total “girls film” I bloody love it as a concept.
Also good luck. It’s good to have a passion to keep life interesting. If you throw a bunch of time and effort into this and enjoy doing so, the outcome is irrelevant.
You do you, Yev.
Even if it doesn’t work out you can say you gave it a good shot.
Do you communicate solely through smileys and Office Meme's these days?
I do sympathise with this getting attention for the wrong reasons, even though I see both sides. If somebody had finally started making some real progress on their lifelong dream, I think the excitement would be enough to pull an all nighter.
Also, reminding somebody of their struggle when they're energetic and productive is a pretty quick way to slow them down. Yev shared how he was feeling with us and the fact he won't be doing so again shows that the reaction of the board as a whole was the wrong one. Concern is natural and obviously comes from a good place, but do it privately.
Keep the energy up, Yev. It sounds like you've got a good mindset approaching the pilot so let's see what happens.
As for the script, I read the first few lines with the vape juice and stopped reading. Doubt that helps, but here we are.
The board's reaction was perfectly fine. He said he was struggling, and people offered some advice. Two weeks later, during which time his posting got no less maniacal, he was all fine but also wished he had never mentioned it because now people think there is something wrong anyway this sitcom I have planned to the most minute detail and know exactly how I will sell it to Netflix and how do I get permission to use well-known songs in it... If this was Smiffy people would be tipping social services off and locking their windows at night.
As long as it gets more views than Lord Jerrington it should be considered a success.
That's not happening. It's the board's RickRoll equivalent. Plus I kinda like that.
I see your point, but also don't think that if there is something wrong that it's currently being handled well. What does Yev do now to not have certain posters on his back? Post boring stuff for a bit? Even if he stops posting, he'll have Luca sliding in his DMs asking if he's dead or not. If he stuck up that YevRage Algeria(?) post now I bet you'd get similar comments to this morning.
Anyway, this probably isn't helping anything either.
Stop banging this tart and give us the next scene.
He writes best during bangs.
Might as well just cut out the 20 year high flying career middleman and get straight to the Harvey Weinstein denouement.
Wait a minute.
You slept yet mate?
Rampage impending.
And we're done.
Phonics, thread in the office when you're next on. Cheers bud.
EDIT: Ignore this Phonics.

Let’s crack on.
Why isn't this in the writing thread?
