Since pilots, specifically original pilots, have become the standard "audition" for wannabe TV writers, I'm going to try and do a set of rules for them that mimics the one I've done for showrunning (can be found here --> https://mastodon.social/@JeffLieber/109315346829400049).

Please know these rules exist a) for me to work them out for myself b) as a jumping off point for discussion and c) as a set of precepts to abandon and improve upon once you've got it figured out.

So, without further ado...

As you hang out and find friends and learn the ways and realize the ultimate glory of a decentralized, time-based, short form social media site...consider dropping a few monthly quarters into the Patreon that helps repay those paying for servers. A little goes a long way toward preventing us having to endure The Alabaster Landlord.
