This is where ideas for Wishkres' website should be discussed.

Of which the web site is (currently) here: http://www.whis-kers.org/dirkgently/

Oooh, great design. I went on clicking every link of the menu until I realised they made a sentence... :smack:

Mwahaha... But hey, have patience, I'm working on it... or rather, I'm writing an essay about samurai for history class, but shhh!

When the minor changes to lines have been made by mixers and cast, Sep on imdb has offered to put them in beautiful .pdf format. We could have the scripts available for download on the website?

.PDF format is the devil. The devil, I tell you.
Simply because I don't have Acrobat Reader, and when I tried to install it, it didn't work.

Another idea for the website:

Include everyone's picture icons. Ok so i dont have one, but having the icons incorporated onto the website (maybe subtly..) for all to see would be a nice tribute to the crew and cast.

Also get a behind the scenes picture of gonzoid auditioning (succesfully) for the role of the tea cup from one of the earlier threads....?

Curses!
I missed that. I have the perfect candidate.

Oh, the PDF scripts would be great! We could also have them in other formats as well (.txt and .doc good for other formats)?

Hahaha, that picture would be hilarious... We could put it up. :D

I think it would be neat if we had cast/crew bios (did I mention that already?) that could include a picture of that person or their avatar (as suggested) or their pet or their next door neighbor... :P But everyone would have to write their own, 'cause... I said so.

But content for now (that I need to do soon!): how to audition, roles still left to audition, recording tips, cast list, crew list (who all is doing the production-y script writing stuff?), some sort of news/production blog, and hopefully a summary of the plot and characters. Oooh, should I post the trailer on the web site also, or should I wait until we have a more "official" one? Hmm.

I hope nobody minds that I haven't really been working on it much this week -- school's been crazy, but hopefully I'll be able to get some more work done this weekend. However, I have this big crazy English project (one we've been doing for MONTHS) that will be due next Thursday, so I might not get too much done until the weekend of the 7th. Is that all right?

(I'm trying to fix a problem I have with the URL, so if the first one stops working for some reason, use the second -- it'll only be a temporary problem though)

I have the web site up! Yay, me! I apologize for the delay, but I went and got my first car this weekend, and I had to drive it around and irritate people and everything. In any case, the web site's pretty much done (as much done as it can be at the moment), but meanwhile, I could use some help:

1. If there are any problems with the way something looks or works, let me know -- I haven't been able to test it out in any other browser than IE 6.0, so I haven't a clue to what it looks like in other ones. Also, let me know if I have any spelling / grammar mistakes, whatever. If anybody wants to rewrite or rephrase any of the pages, go right ahead and I'll change it. Give me complaints, suggestions, anything.

2. Cast & Crew page: I'm going to need some help with this one. Are we using real names for the series or not? If we are, I'd like to post them, and if not, I can get rid of them, whatever. Also, I'm not sure if I have the correct information. If I credited somebody for the wrong thing or credited somebody wrong or just plain forgot somebody, let me know. And, as you can see, I have no idea who all is doing music...

Also, I'd very much like to post cast bios on the site, but obviously, I can't write other people's bios. Should we do it, yes, no? If we do do it, then I'll need people to submit their own. You can include whatever, name, birthday, what you want for your birthday, where gifts should be sent (er), hobbies, why you're in this, pointless pictures (try to keep pictures at a width less than 380 pixels though or else I'll be resizing them), jokes... whatever floats your boat, and I'll put it up. You can check mine (and gonzoid's) for a quick example. If you want to submit a bio, you can post it here, PM it, or email it to me (wishkres@yahoo.com) or the series email address, if the others don't mind...

3. Blog: I had to fight with it a bit, but I got a blog script up. Therefore, anybody with access can update the blog, and I won't have to, LOL. The blog is to let people know what we have accomplished and what is going on with the production, I guess. If you want to be able to post in the blog, PM me and let me know what you want your username and password to be, and if you want, you can also give me an email address and/or a homepage URL (completely optional though). I'll PM you back with the URL you need and stuff.

Also, as you can see, I kinda need to delete the test entries, but I'll do that once the site is finalized or whatever.

4. Two questions from me:
Should I post that audio trailer that was made with the auditions, or should I wait for a more accurate one?
Secondly, I know it's a bit early to worry about this right now, but are we going to post the episode scripts on the web site as well?

I think that's all I have to blabber about.

:D Thanks...

Oh, and I just realized that I forgot the audition page. What roles (at least the main roles) are still open for auditions? Any?

This is fantastic, dear Chelsea! Very well done. I - because I cannot spell applaud or what - salute You.


By the way, music is by Fleppo, isn't it?

Perhaps we should post the trailer or something on the website as an audio hint of what's to come?

Also, the first episode when it's done o.c. (which should be soon - I'm hoping within the next few weeks, with an initial version online in the next few hours...)

Also, seconded (thirded?) on the website being brilliant
