User blog:Maxwestt/UFSW Survivor: What the hell to do!

Ahoy!

Hello fellowes and fellowettes, Max here. You might know me from such unfinished products as Alea Iacta Est and Alea Iacta Est. Guess what I'm here to talk to you about today? You guessed it! An unfinished project!

Now, for this one, you probably all know what I am talking about. It is of course, the one, the only, UFSW Survivor.

The main problem I have right now, is the fact that I can't get myself to write whatever I do. The second biggest problem is the fact I lost my co-host, Kaffe. Now, individually, both of these problems could be solveable. But together, you get the situation we are in right now.

The last thing I would want to do is give up on this project. I think the idea's awesome, and the issues we had, few as they were, were amazing as well. Fun to fo, fun to write, fun to plan out, you name it. So, I would never want to just abandon this project. Hearing positive things from the community also helped out, of course. A lot.

So, here I am, completely torn. I don't know what to do. Let me summarize the problems with the current Survivor, from my perspective.


 * Lost my co-writer, Kaffe.
 * Lost motivation.
 * Some people who were active when this started, aren't anymore now.
 * Way too long a time period between issues. Should I write issue 11 now, it would be 6 months. Unacceptale.
 * Too little interaction. Only the votes are what keeps you into the story. I don't like that.

That's it in a nutshell. Now, what to do about that?

There are of course a few things I can do to lift some of these problems. I'll list some fixes here.


 * Completely scrap project.
 * Find a new co-writer.
 * Start over completely, same people involved.
 * Start over completely, hold new auditions.
 * Start over completely, but in a different format.
 * Create a new community story, with interaction with the readers, probably about some new sort of game.

So, yeah. There's that.

Now, my question to you is, what do you guys want? What do you think about these problems? What should I do to fix them? Do you want to see more Survivor? Would you like more interaction, less, just as much? How do you feel about starting over? These kind of things.

So, I've been rambling on a bit, but I need to hear you guys' opinions. I can't decide this by myself, I feel it's not honest to you guys. So, please, tell me what you think.

Max out!
