As creator of your cartoon...

[Fluffy Pinkie 417]

so lets pretend that you've created your own cartoon which has been approved for at least one season which has to run completely. since i hope to see my idea one day on the small screen, i Thought of creating this thread. The cartoon can not be rated more then TV-7. If you decided to create your cartoon what kinda guidelines would you set yourself to follow? here's mine

 

Never conform- Always remember your original idea and never have anybody force you to change your thoughts or ideas for the show unless it appears as something that can not fit into the TV-7 group.

 

Love your fans- Never forget about your fans! Set up some social network contacts by which your fans can comment to you on and by which you appear on frequently. Always listen to any Praise and criticisms that your fans have on something and try to improve on it without getting rid of an episodes main idea. Show up at any conventions you can and answer questions.

 

Be honest- When you agree or disagree with something that happened don't try and make excuses tell people why you support or don't support something but be civil about it

 

Appeal to all ages- While kids may be your main audience don't forget the people that watch the show with them. Make sure that your show can appeal to adults and teens as well(Throw pop culture references, Have life messages, Think MLP).

 

Never become money hungry- My show is meant to be entertainment , not some money grabbing scam. Don't just throw in characters because the company wants to make a quick buck. Always stick to your guts and only add something if it's similar to something you already had in mind for your cartoon and or you think may greatly approve the show.

 

everybody's important- Never have any of the staff or cast of your cartoon think their jobs are less important then somebody else's. Let the staff or cast come to you with any ideas they have and make sure to give them praise. May sometime offer to have staff and cast dinners where we can relax and talk about life.

 

Well that's really all the guidelines i would/will hopefully use to stand by when i create my cartoon. what guidelines would you use as creator?
