I do not know exactly if this is the appropriate place to put this, but I chose to put this here because this forum has the most traffic.
I am sure that we've all heard of an audiodrama before, right? Before television, the main entertainment medium was the radio, on which different networks produced and aired a variety of shows ranging from sitcoms to suspenseful plays. If you still don't know where I'm coming from, just think of it like an audiobook with actors playing the various characters.
In the past, for fun, I have written audiodramas, such as a Star Wars one that takes place four-thousand years before the movies. Now I am on to more original works.
I've recently started working on and planning out a new concept project under the working title "Shadow Relay", an opera (simply meaning "dramatic work"...not music) and adventure show divided into multiple episodes as podcasts.
"Shadow Relay" focuses on the adventures of Jake Nolan, an orphaned, cynical, and occasionally manic, underestimated marine recruit training in New York, who accidentily proves himself worthy of joining the mysterious "Columbia Project."
After a series of tests and psychological evaluations designed to fit his needs and abilities, Jake is assigned to the prototype corvette "Columbia" under Captain Richard Pellew and is unnexpectadly promoted to ensign and given a position as "midshipman."
The drama, filled with colourful characters, action, and humour, focuses mainly on Jake (as he rises up the ranks) and his crewmates' experiences aboard the "Columbia" upon the various missions it is tasked with, as well as developing characters and relationships/bonds between the crew. Along the way the crew of the Columbia unravels a dark conspiracy that could potentially result in the end of humanity as we know it.
The storyline, aside from action, also focuses on the politics and intrigue as tensions rise between various world leaders.
So, for this project, I am in need of fellow writers and planners. I do intend to share the main idea, characters, and basic plot with the writers (since I cannot write EVERY SINGLE EPISODE) and all of us will be able to exchange ideas about the storyline and the "universe" (it's not an alternate universe, BTW). From there, all of us finally aware of what is going on sequencially, will write the episodes. Any inconsistancies will be fixed once all of the episodes come together.
Aside from that we also need voice actors to play the various parts, but that won't be a priority until later.
I am really excited about this idea and would actually like to make this work! If anyone is intrigued, I urge you to post below and I will send you more details.
