Storyline Dynasties

Re: Storyline Dynasties

So, since this is a discussion thread about storyline dynasties and how to write them and all that, I thought this would be a good place for this. I want to pitch an idea to get a feel for if it would interest people. Basically, it's still a dynasty with all the fundamental components of a dynasty, but I have an idea for a different way of presenting the dynasty. It's a storyline dynasty not based on a player, or coach, or management member, but instead it takes the story and the team through the lens of a fans' perspective, and a sports writer's perspective. The story is about a sports journalist who works for the local news outlet and writes about the team. The team still becomes the focus, but just looking at it from a different set of eyes, a set of eyes many people might find more relatable since he is just a fan at heart as well. Do you guys think that the idea would work for a dynasty or is it just not really all that good for this kind of thing? Obviously I'll still be constructing a gripping, interesting off court/field storyline to accompany it, and the information on the court/field would still be the same, just presented differently. I have a story all planned out and ready to go and once I get rosters for '14-'15 of next year on the current game (I'm not getting madden 15/nba 2k15 more than likely) but I don't want to put it out there if it doesn't seem appealing. I think it's a good idea, but I might be overthinking things or trying to get too creative.

So again, the premise is still similar, it's just being presented differently. Instead of being the GM of, say, the Knicks, it would be a guy who writes about the Knicks for the New York times, or the New york post, and his reports would be used for the on court coverage, and it would also talk about his life as a reporter following a sports team.

I'm reading Friday Night Lights right now, and I'm loving it, so I'm guessing this would be the same as that just with the daily things that come with being a reporter. I'll follow.

Re: Storyline Dynasties

I don't understand the happenings. I'd be interested in seeing it though, all you writing is quality.

Gives me an idea myself but I doubt I have any time for it anymore.
