New projects.

Lately I have been into audio recording.
I listen to This American Life until my ears bleed. I scour the storycorps website looking for new slices of life to devour.

One might say I am obsessed.

But now my obsession has shifted ever so slightly. Now I am obsessed with doing my own recordings. My first endeavors included recording my Uncle's phone messages he leaves me and taping my friend talking about his past. Storycorps assures me that there are interesting stories to be captured out there. Ira Glass tells me that failure will come before success does. But as much as I am interested in hearing another story it doesn't seem to do much more than whet my curiosity.

I am seeking your (yes you the reader) assistance to make this more exciting for me. I am looking for a telenovela/ soap opera to record using my voice and the voice of others. I don't know how many people are into writing soap operas, but you should be.

Let us make this interesting...Just because I have no idea how many people will even respond to this.
I want your soap operas!
The guidelines are:
- no longer than 4,000 words of dialogue.
- it must be double spaced.
- make sure there are at least two characters (preferably more).
- must be in english.
- DEADLINE: May 28, 2009 (thursday)

*Note: this can have a definitive ending, but preferably I would like this to be in the format of a show that will have many episodes.

Please email this to phantomlipszine@gmail.com

The soap opera the editors and I like the best will receive $10 (I know not much but I don't have a job!) and a free copy of our first issue of Phantom Lips!

So get on this people!!
