Consequences of Unscheduled Programming! Vox, in a perfectly reasonable and not-at-all illegal move, “acquired” a group of writers and forced them to produce a slate of pilots to boost VoxTek’s ratings—different genres, randomized by a wheel, all meant to push creativity and deliver hits. And to their credit, the concepts are varied, the execution sharp…, but upon review, Vox starts noticing something. No matter the premise, no matter the setting, the same two figures keep appearing: a certain radio demon and a very familiar princess, repeatedly thrown into increasingly strange situations together. At first, it’s subtle—shared scenes, lingering dialogue—but then it escalates. The tension builds. The closeness becomes intentional. The situations become… suspiciously charged. And despite himself—despite knowing this was absolutely not part of the assignment—Vox keeps watching. Keeps noticing. Keeps waiting to see just how far the writers are going to push it this time… and, much to his own irritation, realizing he’s a lot more invested than he’s ever going to admit. Join some of the best Charlastor writers writing crazy TV pilots for Vox - it's been a ride, and we are so happy to get this up for you! Join us weekly for updates from our writing pals!
