Sure. What I usually do is start with a blank page and add the basic description of the show up top, and then the series template (In this case, I made my own) on the left of that and add in headers, such as plot, characters, etc.

Another thing you should consider: add tabview. Take mine for example:



You want to make pages for these so that your entire series page isn't locked in source mode, making it more complicated to make. Here's another example of mine:

MX: Ep Guide

Then when you want to add stuff like add characters, villains, or aliens, go to these separate pages and add that. It shows up on your series page.

Once you do this, your series page should like this:



Do that with your other information (such as aliens and the episode guide table) and you're good to go.

For pictures, you can request art. There are many great artists scattered around this wiki who will be willing to create something for you.

All you have to do is ask around and give them your description of what you want and they should give it to you.

As for writing, Sif and I usually worked together on most of our projects, and we still kind of do, but write separate series. We plan out things months or weeks prior to when we actually starting writing stuff down.

That way, when it comes to writing, we have a clear idea of what we want to do from start to finish.

ALSO, make sure you add interestind dialogue. Make sure it isn't unrealistic stuff like:

(Mig): Help me, Dan, I am falling down from the tree!

Make it stuff that would seem more realistic that people use. Use contractions and stuff people would use in real life:

(Feminine): HAHAHAHA OMG YOU'RE TOO FUNNY...not really.

You could also add emotion to the character to give readers an image of what the character is feeling or acting like:

(Dan, sobbing): I can't believe...you would do something like that to me...(rubs tears from his eyes).

I had this issue when I was making Mig 10. I had a tendency to jumple all of my work into long paragraphs. Do not do that. Put it into very short paragraphs or even one sentence.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: DO NOT do your series just for the views. Do it because you want to do it and because you feel good doing it.

Also, make sure you advertise your series. Make a blog about it, post announcements on your series page, or link it on chat. Just don't do it every hour.

Hope all of this helps. Show me your series when you get started.
