Are you planning on releasing the episodes on DVD when the seasons are over and done with...or are you going to wait and release the series? Is that part of the plans? DVD release is one of the ancillary ways to monetize this endeavor, if we do release to DVD it would probably be when the new season begins.

I know that most fans of the original series are not big fans of HEROINE. Some people hate the story they used while others hate the acting level involved....and some hate both. Noting the second one in particular, how did you go about casting for the roles in your production? In the other thread, most of them seem to only exist on their MySpace pages and may not have any acting work credited anywhere. Were there open tryouts for people to audition? If so, did you post it somewhere? If they were not open auditions, how did you go about the process? Good question. Yes the auditions were open and we used the conventional methods for casting utilizing Craig's List and a couple Casting Companies. We have great Cast many of them have already been in the business for awhile either Television and Film or both. When we release the Cast and their bios you'll see familiar shows on each Bio and we even have a couple of actors that were directed by Mel Gibson, so I can assure you that the acting level will not be of the caliber Heroine was.

Okay. That's encouraging. Does that mean we will be able to find them on places like IMDB and other well recognized movie database sites?

If it is done, will it have special features and such like interviews with the cast, etc? Yes, we film everything from Table Reads to Rehearsals. All thirty two members of the cast have bonded as a family and when they are all together you never know what is going to be said or what jokes they pull on each other. We will post some online but the main portion of these behind the scenes footage we intend to keep to ourselves just in case we decide to release on DVD.

First Question: Will it be available in stores? Do you have an outlet for them or will it be primarily done online or Ebay? Will it be at places like Borders and Best Buy? Second Question: Do you wish I would stop asking questions? Wait! Don't answer that!

BUT if we do decide to go the DVD distribution route I have personal ties with Navarre on other projects I was involved with. www.navarre.com/As for your second question, that's why I am here to answer any question about TGAH 2008 Project, within reason.

That's great...on both questions. Don't feel stuck in this section though...you can participate in the other sections too! When you do the episodes at the end of the seasons, will they be cliffhangers until the next season or will it be similar in nature to the style of the original GAH series?

Each episode has its own cliffhanger and each season will have its own cliffhanger. Please keep in mind that we are concentrating on Season 1 as a foundation whereas setting it up for Season 2. Doing it this way will give the Fan Fiction Writers on the planet a deep enough foundation to add to or subtract from our interpretation. I personally think Season 2 will be the most fun when we allow Fan Fiction Writers to determine the direction of these Webisodes. To my knowledge no one has ever done that before and I am willing to experiment and see what happens.

You said "To my knowledge no one has ever done that before and I am willing to experiment and see what happens."1.Can you give some insight as to why you would like to try this "experiment" and 2. what are some results you hoping to see from this particular experiment?

I like Nicol's questions too, but would pose another one about including other writers: How are you going to determine the ways to allow the fanfiction writers to participate? Will there be guidelines to meet and stuff before being allowed to enter? Does helping with one episode exclude them from helping with others? If successful, will it continue through the third season?

Fan Fiction is all about your personal relationship with an asset, the Internet has made these relationships possible between individuals, groups, and communities where they wouldn’t have been otherwise. We never know what we’re going to find. Just like the web, Fan Fiction is created by humans with human biases and human failings, each infused with as much human bias and personality as humanly possible. I am curious to see how many Fan Fiction Writers will be willing to be involved in taking their creative-work to the next level without borders, limits, or even rules; and see if this type of medium becomes a true world of its own. That's it no hidden agenda just curiosity.

That would be up to the legal department of Red Jammies Entertainment to figure out the best ways to allow Fan Fiction writers to participate. I have a set of guidelines I would like to see and the staff here have a set so that discussion goes on every Saturday and we still haven't agreed what is the best approach. Excluding one from helping another would not be a rule I think it would defeat the purpose. We hope it would continue through Seasons 3,4,5 and so on.

Neat. I think that idea is very clever and would definitely get more people involved...after all, how do you write for something you have never seen. Sorry about the misunderstanding. On exclusion, I meant would that one writer not be able to submit more than one? Some people might feel excluded if one person kept having ideas that were chosen over others. I was thinking in terms of that, but I realized I did not post very well about it.

You mentioned that music would play a part in each episode ever considered trying to get Joey Scarbury sing any songs?

That's good, because a lot of us have stories to tell,and i think could easily adapt them to this new continuation of yours. let us know on what you guys come up with, as i'm sure a lot of us would be willing to help contribute as this goes along.

I'm still curious on the look of the new suit. Ted, there are some clips of the suit in the TGAH 2008 YouTube group. The best way I can describe it looking like right now are hip hugging tights, the belt, a top that has hip cutouts, sleeveless top with epaulets, and the cape. I don't know if it has boots or if it's like Holly where the shoes were more like the custom red ones that Katt had in the original show (just covered with the boot spats.) But I admit looking at them, they're a bit fuzzy or a tad too far away. Is there any way we can get a better pic soon so we can see what it does look like better?
