I seem to not be writing tonight, so I decided to pick this up instead, a casting meme challenge given to me to do ages ago. This is totally the meme that never dies. (I never posted my first one to DW, but it's over yonder.)

Prompt: Detective story set in space. Someone is trying to sabotage the terraforming efforts, their only chance of survival, and there is only one person who can find out who and why... (from fluoresce)

TITLE: Ganymede
TYPE: 6-part miniseries
SYNOPSIS: It happened right after the latest ship landed. A communications blackout, then an explosion, then a tunnel collapse that wiped out twenty percent of the crew.

The only person rescued from the collapse is Jill Sotomayor, who claims to barely remember the event though her well-buried past suggests she may know more than she's letting on. There's no choice but to bring in outside help to finger the culprits, because sabotage or not, they have a schedule to keep and a planet to transform before they have no place left to go.

With a fully breathable atmosphere and arable land still years away, they need to seek out the traitors in their midst before their dream for the future turns into a death trap.

And, if you want to play too:

1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" (or "Hit me!" or "Give me all your money!" or any variant thereof) and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (post-apocalyptic scifi-fi drama, fantasy, noir gumshoe pulp, criminal procedure...IN SPACE, historical drama WITH WEREWOLVES, etc.).
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios, and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.
5. Give me another one to do. Actually, that should be number 0, up at the top.

I have a lot of work I need to get done, and I will be doing that very shortly, but I just needed to do something fun and completely without pressure for a little while, so I got Ruth to hit me with this meme.

Prompt: A troop of travelling players in space. (from eudaimon)
I'm also largely stealing eudaimon's format here, because I like the way she does business.

TITLE: Love, Blood, and Rhetoric
TYPE: Sci-fi dramedy. 13 episodes on Showcase.
SETTING: The starship Genesius, in the year 2166
SYNOPSIS: No one goes to Ekiah anymore. Or Urumau or Surui Septimus or, gods forbid, Ayafika after the revolution. But the Eris Players do. They'll play for anyone, anywhere, from the pleasure palaces of Gur-Koru to the streets of Bosia Prime. They've been doing this for longer than they ever thought they would, but all the galaxy's a stage, and trash pays the bills.
