right it has been a while seen my first two teases and i want to make another one based around wwe or tna etc
i am just looking for ideas as to what you would like to see in a tease, what it would contain, how long it was, anything.
i would be really interested in finding out your views about it

hope to hear from you soon

although it is considered smart to write about what you enjoy, I respectfully feel that you limit your audience by concentrating on teases based on wrestling.

The content of a tease is only part of what will make an audience enjoy it. I think a bigger part of making enjoyable webteases is creating a sense of immersion. The better you can do to keep the reader within the flow of your story, the better they'll feel about the tease.

I think proper grammar really helps a lot, at least capitalization.
now i am sure you would of guessed that the wwe is tight knit family and you will have to prove yourself if you wish to become part of it!
This is very jarring to read and it takes someone out of the tease.

This sentence still isn't grammatically accurate, but just capitalizing what needs to be goes a long way to making it less jarring.

(Also, please don't open start a webtease with Vince McMahon's gob staring at me with that balls-the-size-of-grapefruits smirk. Don't you know I had my dick in my hand? :crazy:)

Writing teases specifically to hit a certain rating is the quickest way I know of to never want to write another tease again. While the wrestling teases aren't going to appeal to very many people (I was a diehard fan through WCW, Attitude/McMahon-Helmsley/Ruthless Aggression Eras, and I still would never open or play through a wrestling-themed tease), I still encourage you to write what you love, and do so unapologetically. That's the only way I've found personally to avoid getting burned out on writing teases at all.

If you do branch out into other themes, you'll probably reach a wider audience. By all means go that route too, just make sure any tease you write is for yourself first and foremost - and never worry about what rating it's going to get.
