Tangle's Guide To Making A Great Reality Show Series

Hi! I'm Tangle, creator of Big Brother: ThunderClan, and the purpose of this guide is to inform you how to make your shows addictive, so people will keep reading!

Step 1: Include Lots of Humour
Let's face it, no one's gonna keep reading your show if it's really serious, because that's boring. The aim is to make them laugh, because if you do that, they're gonna keep reading on. If you're looking for an example, check out my nachos scene.

Step 2: Give An Opportunity For The Fans To Have a Say
Everyone loves it when they get to have a say in things! Be sure to pay lots of attention to comments on your show/blogs you create about your show. Here are some examples of what you could do that involves the fans:
 * Give them an opportunity to vote off a cat/bring them back
 * Include them in the show (cameo appearences or as a contestant)
 * Ask them for ideas for episodes

I did one of these for a challenge show, and the fans gave me heaps of suggestions!

One example of how effective this was, was when the creator of Big Brother: StarClan allowed the fans to have a say of who was put in the house. This generated LOTS of comments from fans!

Step 3: Have A Few Twists
A show that has the same thing each and every time is pretty boring. Throw in a few twists. Some ideas might include:
 * A week where no one is voted off
 * Voting off a cat no one expected to be voted off
 * A week where everyone can be voted off
 * Inclusion of new cats part of the way through the show
 * Bring a cat back that has already been eliminated (I advise you let your fans decide this)
 * Rule changes (can be very effective)
 * Have a cat swap teams (if it's a team show)

If you use these ideas, they will make your show much better as the fans will want to keep reading!

I hope you enjoyed this guide, and have taken a few ideas from it :) I may add a little more later

Tangle :)
