Hi Czhorat
I hear what you’re saying.
Just wanted to say that my two experiences as a drabblecast author were both rewarding and unique. I’ve been on several different podcasts now and I can honestly say that I’ve never felt more apart of the team as I did with drabblecast. I was surprised to get an email from the producer, after they accepted a story, basically asking me for my input on the production. Other podcasts pretty much just buy your manuscript and you’re kind of at their mercy as to whether it’s going to be something you can be proud of. The Escape Artists being the exception – They do a great job every time. But with the drabblecast you really get a feeling of collaboration between writer, producer and editors. It’s a unique experience.
And yes, there are a fair amount of those surprise ending stories - both of my episodes being guilty of that. But give episode 27- “Crazy” by Patricia Russo and an earlier episode # 18 “The One That Got Away” by J. Alan Pierce, a listen.
Those are two of my favorite episodes – no surprise endings – just a whimsically tone that I think sums up the drabblecast – mystical-crypto-surrealism.
I can’t speak for the drabblecast but I can say that if they really like your story I am sure they will work with you to produce an episode that you will be happy with.
