Its hard working with multiple people on creating a shared universe, because each person wants to go their own direction, and do their own thing, write their own style, without keeping it constant, and talking and planning everything out. Trust me, I know.

For the most part, Paper and I pretty much agreed where the Phase was heading. However, we can into issues with the movies we weren't writing, Tiger Rage and Energy Revolt.

Jack wanted to have CHAOS be aliens, wanted to make it like a copy of Man of Steel, and a bunch of other things. He wanted to make Lauren a cold-hearted beach who fights, instead of a spy who has powers like I had originally intended. Some of these things were fixed. Others still went into the final copy (the cold-hearted beach part was one that stayed).

Toon had other ideas a well, but they weren't as bad.

No offence to Jack or Toon if you see this by the way. You guys are awesome.

Secondly, it sounds like you're having a bit of a crisis concerning you being a writer. I've had a few of these, so let me explain to you what I've learned.

I've learned that ya know what, its a Ben 10 Fan Fiction site designed for teenagers. There aren't one million teens who like Ben 10. That's just not true. Ben 10 is (utlimately, as some people need to just learn) a kids show that we, as teenagers just happen to still like. Plus, its fan fiction so you don't even get the followers that it would get if it wasn't fan fiction (like I mean if it was a real novel) so that means even less readers. That's part of being on here.

Secondly, I've learned that honestly.... it ultimately does not matter if people read your show or not. You aren't spending 100 million producing it. You aren't having studio executives on your back telling you you need 9.15 million viewers for your pilot episode. Its a fan fiction. It does not matter if people don't read it. What does matter is if you enjoy it. Its not about people reading it, its about doing what you love. If you truely enjoy writing Sif 100: The Rebooted Series, then write it! Don't stop something you love to do. If you like writing it, then that's reason enough to keep going. Don't start hating to write the series because no one reads it. Its not about them. Screw the readers! Screw them! Just do what you like to do, and that is writing Sif 100: The Rebooted Series!

Another thing: Maybe you guys are doing way too much. You have three shows going on: TRS, TLOM, and Richard 10. Plus you have two movies by the looks of it, all of which are supposed to lead up to Shields of Justice. I think you guys need to cut down. Which means, either push off the movies, or just scrap them, and update your plans accordingly. Its too much pressure on you guys if you can't manage all of this.

Start having meetings, and introduce a veto system. Say... you each get three vetos. You can veto three things (saying it can't be in the Rebootedverse) every meeting, and once those vetos are up, while you can still suggest that Mig or whoever else remove it, but they don't have to. If you veto something, they have to.

Don't give up! Continue the dream!
