During the last Inklings we discussed AWR doing a collaborative project, and the podcast in particular. The general feeling was that we should organise a writers' room on Skype to discuss the project before making any firm decisions.
What we did talk about, though, what form the podcast should take. I think most people were reasonably happy with the Generation Ship setting, although maybe no longer with the newscaster framing device (perhaps Welcome to Night Vale similarities has dated). What Sensar very sensibly suggested is that we should look at just writing a Pilot, before attempting anything longer (like a serial).
The other issue is that I think there were a split between exactly how far AWR should take the project. Liam knows people who could produce something if we end up writing a decent script. I think Pete and I are far more interested in that idea, of writing scripts and then getting other people to make them a reality. On the other hand, I know there are other people who would really love to do the production ourselves and give voice acting a shot. So we need to figure that out.
So... we need to come up with a date for AWR's first writers' room. And at that writers' room, we need to focus on: the idea/premise (do we stick with the Generation Ship? What framing device?), and the plot for a one-off Pilot to see how we go.
