Hmmm . . . time sink or something fun? And maybe profitable?

So, I've been following the Vampire Mob web-series, and the more I see the more intrigued I get.

Not necessarily about the show, though it is fun, well-made, and worth your time, and I urge you to check it out if you haven't already. No, it's the format I find especially interesting.

The website has the first episode. Upon 5,000 views, the second is unlocked. And so on, up to the sixth.  So, as of right now you can go over there and watch the first two episodes, and soon you'll be able to watch the first three episodes.

But I kind of like the idea of doing something short, like this show. Each episode is around five minutes long, I'd say--maybe a little more. I haven't actually timed them out. But I can dash off a five pager in a couple days. I can do around six of those in a couple of weeks, I think.

Problem is, right now I don't have an idea for something like that, I just think I'd like to do it. Most of my ideas are a helluva lot longer than five minutes. My stuff tends to grow arms and legs and tentacles and whatnot, getting more and more complicated as I get into it . . . so maybe doing something short would be both theraputic and educational for me.

I dunno. I'm not gonna work on anything else until I finish the spec script I'm working on now, so there's no hurry. I'm sure something will occur to me in the mean time, idea-wise.

But what do you think? I know web-based shows have been around for a while now--do you watch them? Take the little survey you'll see there, in the upper-right corner, so I can have some sort of idea whether or not this'll be worth-while. It'll be there a month or so. Or just leave me a comment.

The fate of my so-far extremely hypothetical web-based show is in your hands!
