Nanowrimo: 6 weeks to go...
Right, doing the making of The Authority the series, adapting the Warren Ellis comic. HBO/Sky-or-BBC joint production, filming mostly in UK, from casting, comic-con appearance, interviews to reviews and fan chatter.
I don't pretend to know a thing about making tv beyond what I've seen in all the behind the scenes, actors tales, etc, so may do a bit more research on certain bits like auditions.
Need to figure out which eps and structure of eps I'll be mentioning,
as well as plot of them. (definitely doing Jenny's death, at least a few flashback scenes of Jenny's life and the made-from-whole cloth one that's how Apollo & Midnighter met since they talk about that one in interview. Hmm. do I add the Change or Die storyline from Stormwatch or is there enough content in the Authority comic itself for 12 tv eps?)
Need to flesh out everyone else who isn't the Jenny Sparks, Jack Hawksmoor, Apollo or Midnighter actors (had vague ideas for this for a while). Do some more on comic con, figure out more structure so I've got a decent framework/plot/background to be able to keep writing even when I'm desperate.
Go check things like Game of Thrones and Rome to see timeline of filming, as well as time from announcement of pre-production green light to casting announcement to actual filming and post-production given that there's going to be a fair bit of CGI and green screen in most eps. Oh, and how many Carrier sets they'll need. (yeah, that one is another bit that's probably going to be all of one line...)
