Download Dragonfire, Episode One

Hey there everyone,

Well it's finally that time and we at STS are proud to bring you the first episode of Firestorm, Book One: Dragonfire!

IN THIS EPISODE:
Sorry folks, no synopsis this time, wouldn't want to spoil the start for ya.

AFTER THE EPISODE:
Mike talks about the changes that have been going on over at savetheshows.com and the coming changes to its sister site, Fightforadjl.com as well as the forum going up at STS (forum.savetheshows.com). Be sure to check out the new user system and register, it will be well worth it soon.

Expect Dragonfire Episode Two to run in about 3-4 weeks, we're giving our actors a little bit of a break while the college final exams take place. Can't make life to hectic, can we?

Enough talk, time to head into the eye of the Firestorm...

Bonus #2: ArkansanDragon Interview

2008-02-29T17:24:00.004-05:00

Hi all,

I want to go ahead and tell you that this interview was recorded nearly 2 months ago and hence is somewhat outdated in the things we discuss....however for the most part all the things that you will hopefully enjoy are still current.

My chatter before the interview starts was recorded only a few days ago so it is all current.

Points of note: There is an ADJL rally/chat tonight at 7PM EST (thats 1 and a half hours from this posting). You can connect to this chat by going to the following link here.

There is also a fanfiction competition going on at Tv.com. Listen to this episode to hear about the Grand Prize. Click Here to see the TV.com Thread

Bonus Episode #1: Trouble With Physics

2008-02-19T22:29:00.004-05:00

Hey all

After the long wait since our last episode STS is proud to bring you the first true story content of the ADJL project! It is "Trouble with Physics" written by ArkansanDragon (the writer of "Dragonfire" to air in 2-3 weeks.

NOTES:
There is some audio distortion at times in this episode, this is caused by a (hopefully one-time) fluke in my recording software because of all the editing. If you listen at half volume on an iPod it isn't bad.

Special thank you to Lionfayt, he stepped up and voiced Jake for this episode only even though he is on hiatus from voice acting. From the next episode on Jake will be voiced by James Adler.

We all have Justin and Lionfayt to thank for the hillarious blooper reel after the story content in this episode, they were kind enough to let me mix their mistakes in and share them with everyone.

An interview with Fan Fiction writer: ArkansanDragon will drop into the feed next week so look out for that.

Special thanks to PhilMatu for teaching me the code to fix up Savetheshows.com, and its only going to get better!

ADJL LIVE Rally recap

2007-09-01T02:50:00.000-05:00

Well it's finally here kiddies. I finally got the time to edit some bits from the Live rally on the 24th together. Most of the rally actually took place in text chat an can be viewed in a PDF in the post above.

The topics in this podcast are kind of scattered thanks to some very...creative...editing on my part. So I'll outline the basics of it here.

In the first 10 minutes you hear from Mike and SDS webmaster Greg as they reflect on the rally and look forward to the future efforts planned to save the AmDrag. (SDS Mass mailing on sept 1st at 9PM est and more!)

The last 15 minutes are filled with an actual voice conference held during the Rally with those of us who managed to get in Voice chat. Enjoy.

The episode can be downloaded here

Update and

2007-08-14T00:34:00.000-05:00

Hi all, long time no cast!

The Update

I would like to take a second to quickly apologize for the horrible lack of episodes we've been experiencing since the synopsis dropped nearly a month ago. We are not trying to be a pod-fader (podcaster who doesn't post regularily) it's just happening due to the difficulty of running a show with 10 actors. Everyone is now cast and most of our actors have sent in the lines for the first episode.

We'd intended to drop a special short fan fiction in celebration of Save Jake WEEK yesterday, that will still happen We have one more actor we need lines from for that one and then you will all recieve your just rewards for a hard week of contacting Disney!

Synopsis PDF

2007-06-16T23:26:00.000-05:00

I know some people just don't like to listen to one guy talk about a show for 20 minutes (and yes I know my voice was being a little difficult at the time), so for those people we've dropped this PDF of the synopsis. It was originally written to help with the reading, and is not entirely written in propper writing convention, but is readable. This is the same synopsis read in Thursdays episode minus the extra talk at the end.

I hope this helps everyone get caught up in the story. See you all in 3 weeks!

Synopsis Episode

2007-06-14T23:47:00.000-05:00

Well it's Finally here and with time to spare! The American Dragon Jake Long Synopsis episode. This will get all first-time ADJL fans a taste of this great series and why we are trying to save it, but there is also something in it for long time fans! After the synopsis Mike talks about what they've been up to getting the show ready as well as introducing the first book.

The one thing the episode does not cover is that we need short American Dragon Fanfics to fill in the gaps. If you are a fanfiction writer with an ADJL oneshot or are interested in writing and/or reading one send an email to Savetheshows@gmail.com

There are some problems with some parts of the audio, I'm sorry
