We watched a few web series on Tuesday’s Story Lab class and the one that I like is The Guild created by Felicia Day, who is also the main character in the series, Cyd Sherman (a.k.a. Codex). It is a story about Codex and her online team members staying online for hours to play the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) called The Game. Codex suggested to her members saying they should actually meet up after getting ‘fired’ by her therapist and she thought she should restrict her online hours from getting too immersed into the game. Zaboo, one of the team members who went offline for a very long time was found standing in front of Codex’s house and started living together with her, and the story expands from there.

It has a great start as I would start thinking what happened to Zaboo and Codex after they start living together, and why is everyone so reluctant to have a meet up when Codex suggested? Another great idea of this web series is that basically the episode will start off with a video blog of Codex, talking about her story. The story flow is at a fast pace and it is not draggy.
