Default Creative writing during BB10

Will regulars here now be writing their little stories/ soaps when BB10 starts or will this section experience a hiatus?

I ask because, if I can do season nine of the Mystical Realms Sagas (Still to pick a working title), like Season seven last year I run slap bang into it.

I think I delayed the first installment by a week so as not to collide with the opening night.

As in my original post in April, will others be posting in this section at all during BB10, or should all posting in this section be suspended during that time.

The expected of publication of episode one of my season nine of the Mystical Realms Sagas would be after the first eviction on BB10 like last year with my season seven

The thought process being that there is a peak of interest on opening night, and those who are not instantly grabbed by the choice of house mates will be gone.

However TiBB Enders is to be delayed until after BB10.

Delaying them is the best option I guess. No one is going to read it. Members won't even be running a game when BB is on. Too much activity.

It's just my advice, you're free to take it or not.

Ooh.

Remember my story where Nicky gets killed?

I am gonna finish it today and tomorrow.

It is shorter than expected as my teacher said she didn't want it any longer as we are moving up a year next week.

Normally I draft the next episode after I have published the current one, so I only have one episode and the prologue drafted. This is because if you have them all then there is the temptation to post everything at once.

As I mentioned, last year I started publishing my season seven just after the first eviction.

Did people really not read it until after BB9 finished if at all?

What if this BB is like the infamous BB4?

One counter argument to the putting everything on hold during BB10 would be that when BB10 finishes and after the first week afterwards a number of posters vanish, meaning less of an audience.

Getting back to my other point do we know how user loading goes during a Big Brother Season. I am aware of two main peaks, the launch night and the final, can any of the moderators provide figures for this?

In fact I may ask this in another section

I don't think you should put your writing on hold. It's not as if it won't be there when BB finishes for people to then catch up on.

Even though the site will be buzzing with Big Brother posts, there will still be times when people want to use the 'non BB posts' button to get away from the buzz, and that's when the creative writing section will be useful.

I'll still spend time in 'chat & games' and 'general chat' during BB, so it's no different to that really.

My opinion is that you should continue writing at the same pace during BB.

There's still plenty of members who will read and post about your writing during BB10, Sticks, but if you think it's best to put it on hold then that's fine.

I may bring back Flash! soon.

I was actually thinking about bringing TiBB GG back, but I'm not sure.

The plan is still to start Season nine after the first proper eviction

Not this Sunday stuff

There is a potential problem which may mean longer time intervals between episodes.

Things have been mentioned elsewhere which means my ability to work on personal files has been restricted.

Am not able to say any more...

This is nothing to do with anyone on TIBB - Something in the outside world gatecrashed in
