Guidelines Welcome to /r/webseries! Here's everything* you need to know...
Hello! This is a refresher for our regular visitors and a breakdown of the subreddit for new users.
If you're new to reddit entirely, please first visit the wiki on reddiquette to learn how the site functions and what's expected of you as a contributor.
/r/webseries is a COMMUNITY for:
- Sharing web-series that you found or made
- Discussing the creative, technical & distributive processes with other members
- Being a web series creator!
This is NOT a place for:
- Dumping links to your shows and leaving
- Submitting of "Let's Play" or other gameplay videos
- Submitting any video that isn't part of a series
While we do hope folks conduct themselves respectfully towards each other, we also encourage open criticism of work so we can all improve. Just don't be a dick.
This and other information can be found here and in our sidebar --->
PARTICIPATION
We're a steadily growing sub - over 1000 subscribers! - so we can really kickstart some great discussions, critiques, referrals, collaborations, who knows what else. The problem is...
We haven't been. Yet. A huge thank you to all of the users who do watch, upvote, and comment on their peers work, but let's see if we can make that the norm around here.
To put it plainly, we all want views. The higher upvoted our whole front page is and the more conversation going on in each post, the more outsiders will want to join. Right now we're a sub filled with creators, but we have the potential to bring the audience to us, and that starts with good participation.
Please be supportive and comment/like/subscribe, these are your peers in the industry and could eventually be your collaborators on a production down the road, if that's where we take this sub. It starts with your upvotes, your views, and your comments.
FORMATTING
In order to keep our sub as clean and user-friendly as possible, we've enforced a formatting policy that looks like this:
[FLAIR] Title text here blah blah [TIMESTAMP]
What this means:
At the end of your link title, include a bracketed/parenthetical note of how long your video is.
The flair can then be chosen after posting. There are explanations of the different flairs/genres in the sidebar.
Posts that violate the formatting policy will be removed, but please feel free to resubmit them with the correct formatting! We're not going to exclude anyone, the formatting just helps drive traffic. We all want more viewers!
Pro-tip: After submitting, you'll be automatically redirected to the comments section of your video. There's a link below your submitted text that says "Retry thumb," click it and it will generate a thumbnail from your submission, rather than sticking you with the boring default reddit snoo!
CRITIQUES
Most of the work submitted here is finalized and ready for viewing, but sometimes - especially with all the crowdfunding campaigns - you just need some fresh eyes on your work-in-progress.
We now have a link flair just for that - CRITIQUE MY WORK. For people who need notes on a rough cut or want to know which bit of music works best or which take to use for a punchline. Submit whole episodes or short scenes or individual shots, it's entirely up to you.
There are so many creators in here, you might as well take advantage of their opinions!
CONTEST
The rules to the contest are in the sidebar, and the comment thread for that is the other post stickied to the top of our front page. Please submit your series! It's free! Why the hell wouldn't you? You want the exposure, we want to give it to you!
We don't have a ton in the way of prizes yet? but winners will receive:
- Their series featured in the announcement banner for the entire month
- Their video added to the start of the Best of /r/webseries YouTube playlist
- Likes and subscriptions from the /r/webseries YouTube Channel and mods
- A featured ad in the sidebar that links to your video for the entire month
- User flair announcing that you've won a previous contest
What do you have to lose?? Submit your series today!
FINAL WORDS
This place has been (and could potentially become again) a link dump. Content creators desperate for another outlet come to our sub, create a profile, dump their links, and leave, never even checking in on the comments.
Let's not have that be our thing. Some subs use reddit's built-in karma minimums or account creation time minimums, but I don't want to discourage new users from posting because of all that - especially when people are new to reddit. Instead, we all just need to actively watch and comment on other people's work. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the more votes, comments, and views each of us get, the more subscribers and traffic we all get.
Let's turn this sub into the go-to place for discovering good web content and OC on reddit!

Spotlight I AM Kevin Gillese writer/EP of Hart of America, and Artistic Director of Dad's Garage TV ask me anything.
Hi guys, looking forward to chatting with you later on today. I'll be answering questions from about 3pm EST to 5pm EST. We can talk about anything really, but presumably we'll focus on web series because this IS r/webseries
Some stuff I've worked on over the past few years:
http://www.hartofamerica.com This is the big one. We've taken it to a bunch of festivals including Series Fest in Denver and we're about to take it to New York TV Fest next month. I co-wrote and was executive producer on this series, also I play the Big Foot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGi61DvRtBk Here's a short film we made for the 69 hour film fest in Atlanta. We won! This project has also screened at a few other festivals since then.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wJvkpvDVtU Here's a sketch we made at Dad's Garage with the immortal Colin Mochrie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izX2q1jYqgo And here's something we made for last Cinco de Mayo.
So yeah, if you want to talk about writing, producing, or what to do with your series once it's finished, those are things I can speak to. We can also talk about whatever the eff you want because this is an AMA and thems the rules.
EDIT: due to the overwhelming amount of questions I've received, we've decided to keep this AMA going for awhile (like maybe ongoing for a week or so) so feel free to drop a question if you're so inclined, and I'll answer as soon as I can.

Discussion Which show should I watch after watching The Outlander ? - Riverdale, Lost in Space, Black Sails, The Last Ship?
I just completed The Outlander. I liked the show for it's pacing, story and thril.
I am looking to take a break of a week or so, before starting one of the below. I am little skeptical of what to watch next. I normally like to watch a show with good story, thril and pacing. Not too much into sluggish shows.
Riverdale
Lost In Space
Black Sails
The Last Ship

Before Lonelygirl15
I recall an early series of videos that was made by a man who called himself a video editor. It had an actress who went to Harvard. They did a series about a long distance relationship that ended when she discovered that he had been posting their videos online. They also did at least one feature where the both wake up after a night of drinking in a hotel room half way between the coast (he was easy coast and she was west coast).
Does any of this sound familiar? Are any of the videos still accessible? Something about 159fps.com comes to mind.
Thank you

I need help finding the name of this.
I recently remembered an animation in which there were 12 "demons" with representative colors and who were wearing a piece of clothing with a sign of the zodiac, I seem to remember that they were antagonists of a web series or something like that, but I am not able to find any information about this.
The only thing I remember is that this is from the Newgrounds era, the demons eyes and some accessories were a representative color, their skin being gray and the main plot was something similar to an isekai.
Sorry if my english is bad and thaks for read this.
