TEN Anthology is back!

Fall Line-Up Announced!
First up, TEN Anthology and Charmed Reset Reality are confirmed to continue running throughout the year, and in CRR's case will run straight into the next season without a gap, so lucky you, Charmed fans! In more Anthology news, we're told that the next episode, an adaption of "Ghost Rider", will not be eligible for voting at the end of the year, due to the writer (Dave Kohler) being absent at the time of airing, and seemingly for a long while yet.
As previously announced in February, Lara Croft Tomb Raider will be back for it's second season later this year, with six hour-long episodes making up a daring new story that reflects Lara's past. The show is joined by it's spin-off, Mona Lisa, which is described as a "more urban Tomb Raider", which will run for half the time, three weeks. These shows are expected to drop in November.
Another new announcement is the replacement of Dave Kohler's shows with two, brand new original ideas. Caydem Falls is the brainchild of Trent Chapman, and previously aired at VBCtv before it was closed, and has found it's new home here. The series is a family drama set amisdt a zombie apocalypse, and we're told that both the Network President's are very excited to have it airing on the network. It will begin airing around mid-year and will be the first of the Fall shows to air, so you can expect that to drop in June or July. The other new show was previously lined up for TEN Anthology, but the showrunner, Tom East, saw that the show had so much potential that he bumped it up to make it's own show. He is now aided by Chris Haigh, who is edited as Co-Showrunner for the show. Haigh has previously worked with East on the first season of Lara Croft Tomb Raider, and is an Executive Producer on it's second season and the spin-off, Mona Lisa. The show is known as Misery Business, and is said to take characters from East's life and put them into twisted situations, inspired by the true happenings of his life, although we're told that you shouldn't regard everything as true fact, because the show will veer towards East's personall fantasies more then staying to reality.
Another show os East's, the much awaited Doctor Who Tales, has been pushed back to the Fall line-up to allow more time on production. We are told, however, that everything is running smoothly, and that one episode is completely finished and ready to air, with two more in various stages of production, and five out of eight scripts complete. It is expected to premiere in August, and will be a bi-weekly show.
We can also expect one or two movies this year from the TEN staff, namely a top secret project known only as "Project Zero". We're told that not even Network President Dan Taylor knows what it is about, apart from that it is a collaboration between East and Haigh, once again.
That's all for know, we'll keep you updated if there's any changes in the schedule, but we hope to see you all in the second half of the year reading some of the great new shows availible!

Allenwood Placed On Hiatus
I am sorry to announce that one of TEN's most popular shows, Allenwood, has been forced into indefenite hiatus by the abscence of it's showrunner, Dave Kohler.
The show, which is a spin-off of succesful Supernatural Drama, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has so far put out three episodes but all future episodes are unavailible, because they were kept only by Kohler, and not given to other showrunners in case of situations like this one, because the latest episodes were still going through severe edits when Kohler last logged onto the board, as far as the other admins are aware.
Instead of airing a new Allenwood episode next wednesday, another show will fill it's slot. Buffyverse fans will not be dissapointed, as it is the first TEN Anthology episode, which is set in an alternate Season Four of Allenwood's parent show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Kohler's fellow Network Presidents, expressed sadness at the sudden hiatus placed on the show, but hope that Kohler is all right, and that his lack of appearance is due to real life reasons, and not something more serious.
As for Kohler's other show, Gifted: The Series, I am told that it will run until episode five, when it will be places on hiatus, if Kohler does not make his re-appearance until then.
Meanwhile, Allenwood has been placed in the "On Hiatus" section of the "TEN Archive" category, so if you want to go back and read an episode you liked, or you want to start reading the show before Kohler arrives with new episodes, that's where you can find them.
No news on how this will effect other shows, as Kohler is known to do all the graphics work, not just for TEN's site and forum, but also for East's Lara Croft Tomb Raider virtual series, and was planning to do graphic work on the upcoming TEN Anthology, which premieres next Wednesday in Allenwood's place, although we are informed it will not mess up the schedule for these shows, and that temporary graphics will be hosted instead.
Let's all hope Dave is okay, and that the other shows will not suffer a similar fate. To the future!

A New Year, A New Start!
Yes, welcome back to The Entertainment Network (TEN) and a very Happy New Year to you all! Okay, we did say we'd be back on December the 30th, but the Holiday period is busy for us all, I'm sure you know, so we put back the launch for two more days. I hope you don't mind this inconvenience, it was to give us more time to our families, to our presents, and to our work, of course!
Now, I'm sure you're all waiting to get back and to start reading new episodes, but before that's possible, for anyone who wasn't here upon our first launch, we'll be re-running the previous episodes of our shows every week for everyone to get caught up, before launching into new episodes of your favorite shows! In fact, the Lara Croft Tomb Raider reruns have even be edited, so if you're a fan of the show, you might just want to go back and read it just for the added enjoyment of some more exploration! Don't worry, you won't have long to wait - for Gifted fans, there's five episodes to be rerun, before an all new seventeen are launched in the following weeks! For Allenwood fans, there are three episodes to be rerun, followed by nine more in the following weeks! For Charmed Reset Reality fans, there are six episodes to be rerun, before following on with the next sixteen and finally for Lara Croft Tomb Raider fans, there's four parts to be rerun, before the following five parts will be shown. All of the new episodes promise more exciting adventures and more life-threatening dangers then before, that will really want to get you reading and reviewing!
As for in the way of new shows for the brand new 2009, we're told that there's currently three new shows planned, two spin-off's of series' here! Can you guess which ones? As for the original show, it may not be so original after all, as it is an Anthology show, as is fittingly named so. Anthology will boast six episodes from different established verses as well as all new original ideas by different writers on the staffing team. There'll be an episode every two months, at the end of the month, and all through December, you, the readers, will be able to vote for your favorite, and the show will be picked up for a run in our 2010 season! We're told among the established series'-based shows are an Alternate Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Four, along the very same vein as our own Charmed Reset Reality, penned by Tom East, but the story was designed by him and Dave Kohler, and a Ghost Rider episode penned by Kohler. Among the original ideas are a parody episode by Daniel Taylor and another script by East, a twisted, narcissistic and mysterious look on his very own life, called Misery Business. The Buffy episode is up first, so check back at the end of the month to see how things go down for the gang! The previously mentioned spin-off's will run for four and six full-length episodes each, and will be announced once the show it is based on has finished it's current season run.
I also suppose you're looking for news on our much-awaited Audio Series Doctor Who Audio. Well, I'm going to treat you to some. The staff came to the decision that the pressure to produce eight half-hour length episodes in time to air this year was too high, and instead of letting down the expecting fans and taking away one of TEN's biggest drawing points, it would split the amount of audio episodes in two, meaning that there will be four episodes purely in audio format, and four episodes purely in script format. The script episodes will be necessary to still follow the story, so don't think just listening to the audio episodes will mean you know all there is to know! The series, now renamed to Doctor Who Tales to indicate the mix, is still expected to premiere with it's first audio episode, "Flashbang", in March, so we hope to see you all then!
And now to talk about the current crisis. No, TEN isn't having staff troubles. No, it's not the credit crunch crisis thing that people keep talking about, it's the so-called "Decline of the Virtual Series". There's only one way to "end" or "cure" this "crisis" and that's to read and review! If you find yourself with nothing to do, why don't you log on and just sit down with a nice script either in your hand or on your computer and a nice cup of coffee or tea (prefer coffee myself) and just relax, and once your done, give us your feedback so we can improve, and keep the community active. Your help is what we need to keep growing!
As always, we are looking for new shows for or new 2009 season, so if you've good that little grain of an idea in your head, why don't you post it, you never know what might become of it! And lets not forget the community boards! Pop in and have a little chat with us every once in a while - what do you like to watch or listen to? Recently been dumped and need to vent? Found yourself checked into rehab by your own parents? We'll talk about anything with you! And for those of you who have already done this, thank you and we are grateful for keeping our community alive! Want to do more to keep the community thriving? Well why don't you help us promote? Include links to TEN in your banners or signatures on other forums you go on, or create promotion pages on other sites, anything you do will help us!
That's all for now, so enjoy and thanks for checking in and heres the first episode of Gifted, rerun for your enjoyment!
