Well I only posted one show which looked to be a flop with BTB-ers, so I was thinking of reinventing to attract more people. At this point none of my current storylines are that deep yet.

Truer words have never been said. Planning is a key to a sucsessful BTB. If not, you are left without any direction and you maybe be able to pull off some good fueds, but preperation lets you work out great feuds that readers will care about and that make the whole roster look strong.

Well if you want too. I would definetely go for it. Also, if you are not getting alot of reviews as it seems to be. I suggest you go around other BTBs and review. IMO, since i have been here guys like DDMAC and such don't do the review for review so i would look for people who advertise this

Postage. Stopping storylines and starting new ones from scratch isn't the best of ideas to be perfectly honest mate. You should just stick with the ones you've got and plan them out before you carry on writing. It will all seem rushed and wierd if you have a certain set of storylines the first week, and then totally new different things the next.

This seems like not getting any reviews yet has put you on a downer. I'm just going to say the same kind of thing I said last time. Don't give up, trust me I've learnt that lesson a thousand times. You have some potential from what I've read in your thread so far. Just becuse people haven't reviewed you yet, doesn't mean to say they have not read it. Trust me it happens alot with new threads. You ought to stick with it and give the readers something to read and think, you know what, this person deserves some help. You know, then when you keep improving on a regular basis someone will let you know about it.

These things take time, but giving up is the cowardly, easy way out. Come on man, set yourself a challange. Take a little break out from writing if you have to, or even just take a break and plan ahead, something which does actually work. So yeah don't give up and you'll get there in time

I can amen to that. Tell me about it. A lack of planning can do a thread in. Not planning also makes you lose a little bit of inspiration. I'm not sure about anyone else here, but if I don't know what I'm gonna do with a storyline of a certain wrestler, I just lose motivation.

Although more experienced guys like the Mac don't offer rev-for-rev, I would suggest reading their BTBs anyway. Don't just review to get reviews back. In a way, its sort of free advertising for your thread as well. As far as reading up on ther "non-" rev folks, they are some of the best. Find a little something they're doing that you're not and try to improve. I know reading plenty of KOP shows helped me improve my game a little.

Does anybody know if a king of the mountain match has ever been written in BTB? I'd like to read it.

[Lashley™]

What is it? Is it just like King Of The Ring?

Good idea?

Nope, bad idea. Never take away, always add. Work with your current storylines and improve them. Maybe add 1 or 2 new angles, but never go in a totally new direction by scrapping every storyline at once. It takes time to turn things around. Just work at it, it's more realistic and works out for the better.

Seconded.
