Greetings and Salutations from TWERPs,

Every once and a while, I try to work out what progress we've made
and where we will be going from here. On October 22, we were able
to release the third act of our third episode, "Yours, Mines and
Ours" after an extremely long delay. Those of us on the production
end of things apologize for the long wait and appreciate your
patience in sticking with us. While the delays were caused by
several back-to-back difficulties in our real-world lives, we are
hoping and praying to be past it and ready to charge ahead.

When we first started TWERP, we had an unrealistic vision of
producing new episodes every other month (at the very least). This
vision was caused by a mixture of not being fully aware of what the
project entailed and using groups that had a far larger personnel
base as an example. We were inexperienced, though dedicated to
producing quality entertainment.

Now, two years later, we have been re-examining our "business model"
and have realized that some of our expectations were extremely
high. We realized that we had a choice to make: produce average
programming quickly or produce high-quality programming over a
longer period of time. We have chosen that maintaining the quality
he have established so far is more important that getting an episode
out every other month, as has been shown by our frequency in the
past. After all, we believe that quality is better than quantity.
In other words, you shouldn't see much of a change in our
productions, but the expectations we put on ourselves will be more
realistic.

Our current hope is to complete the fourth episode of Star Trek:
Eras – "Tough Decisions" – and the first episode of our new series,
Derrick Geist, by the end of the year. Shortly thereafter, we will
finally complete the first episode of IMWAN4 – "What's Happening?"
In spite of what has been stated above, we're pushing on these shows
due to commitments we made and feel obligated to keep as soon as
possible. Our new model will then kick into effect for 2009,
putting out 2–4 episodes per year on each of our shows, making sure
we give our listeners the best possible quality available.

As always, we are open to expanding our cadre of staff and have tons
of ideas we would love to work on. We are only limited by what a
handful of people can accomplish in their spare time. Therefore, if
you are interested in contributing to TWERPs, be it as a voice
actor, sound editor or writer, we encourage you to visit our Casting
Call department at http://www.twerponline.net/help and drop us a
line.

If you have any questions or feedback, it is always welcome. Feel
free to drop me a private e-mail at jim@...

Thanks,
