For the fourth straight year, the EpiGuide Web Entertainment Community hosted a month-long writing marathon, starting on August 1 and running until August 31, where creators of original web-only entertainment series were challenged to write write write like they've never written before. We were thrilled by the participation this year -43 writers took on the ambitious challenge!
The project is inspired by the famous NaNoWriMo, the annual tradition where writers are challenged to write a 50,000-word novella in thirty days. We depart slightly from NaNoWriMo, however, because rather than a single goal for all writers, WeSeWriMo offers each series creator/writer to set his or her own benchmark. Since webserials and webseries come in many different formats and genres, from text-based narratives to podcasts to screenplays and beyond, milestones may vary. The idea is to stretch ourselves to the limit, so each participant is strongly encouraged to set goals that are ambitious.

We're a decidedly low-key, low-tech project so far. But we hope to grow in future if participation warrants it. Any willing volunteers are gratefully invited and encouraged to help us add to the WeSeWriMo experience!
