I've been doing some thinking and I've talked briefly with Shane about it. He backs the idea, so I wanted to go ahead and bring it up for debate and gauge the interest of those of you in the XWF Community.

I want to start a developmental show that is run right here on the XWF site. The point behind it is to give those of you who want to improve on your writing ability, the opportunity to take part in a show that is specifically designed to help you get the most out of your writing.

Any of you that are interested would not be forced to solely stick to the developmental brand. The show's focus would not be on results, but in me and others that want to help me, spend time with you one on one to help you begin to realize your full potential as writers. More on that later.

It would have its own 'brand' name and top title. Being the champion of such a show would require you to defend no less than twice per month.

I would want a RP limit of no more than 3 per week in order to allow you all to have fun and really focus on quality rather than quantity.

Wins and losses within the developmental show would only count for or against your show record and not reflect your XWF record for those of you that like to keep track.

More on the results topic. They would not be full results like you've grown accustomed to me writing when I ran Madness. They'd be shorter results with match summaries rather than all out craziness in match writing. The reason I gave up Madness was because I could no longer juggle real life, RPing and running a show that constantly reached near 100 pages and 15,000 words.

The focus, as stated earlier, would be to help develop you as a writer, and to encourage more participation by YOU sending in segments and things of that nature.

It would also be "opt in only" as opposed to having its own roster like Madness and Warfare.

I'd also like for one of the more established writers to participate once per month to place up against the champion in a non title fashion in order to test you and your improvement.

Finally... it's time for your thoughts. What do you like? What do you dislike? Would those of you that want to improve be willing to participate in such a show?

Opinions... I want them.
