Episode 9: Title & Mini-Synopsis
Hey everyone!
Episode 9 is now complete. Whew! I'm very happy this one is done! There was so much happening in this one that I kinda dreaded it! Unfortunately, so much happens in this episode as result of what happens in episode 8, that the synopsis isn't really going offer much insight into the episode. I wouldn't want to ruin any of the surprises for you! :-)
Episode 9: "From Top to Bottom Part II"
Cameras finally start rolling on Austin's movie; Dru must decide whether he's going to do something he said he'd never do; Jeremy's sudden illness leaves Reese and Kyle scrambling to find a replacement in their marquee scene; Austin appears on "The DL" with Kyle as special guest co-host; Relationships begin to come into question; April's hiding a secret; Austin turns to an unlikely source for help.
I look forward to episode 10, which will see many story lines from the first 3 episodes of the season come to a close and start all new ones that will finish out the season. Episode 10 is currently titled: "And the Winner Is..."
Until next time!

Episode 8: NEW TITLE & Mini Synopsis
Hey everyone!
Episode 8 is now complete. Shocker, the title changed back to the original title after I made a couple more changes while writing this episode. This is a very sexual, yet emotionally charged episode.
Season two most definitely seems to be moving away from the comedic side season one had and is focusing on the heart and emotion of all the characters as they face a wide variety of challenges.
I'm still very excited about season two. It remains the same show at it's core, but really dives into the characters even more than before.
Without further rambling, here's the mini synopsis for episode 8:
Episode 8: "Cherry Poppin' Part I"
Reese/Kyle's movie goes into production as Dru/Austin continue to struggle with scenes/casting choices; Courtney helps April with a difficult decision; Austin may be pushing Dru to hard; All four boys have serious discussions over scene partners and the impact it's having on their relationships; Dru makes his first appearance on "The DL"; Ian's obsession leads to a heartbreaking moment for one of the boys.
The plan is to write Episode 9, the second half of this two-part episode, next weekend. It's currently titled "From Top to Bottom Part II"

Update
Hey everyone,
Very happy to announce that I'm figured out what needed to be done to make episodes 8 & 9 work out in their reversed state and will get started on writing episode 8 this weekend.
Episode 8 did undergo another title change, now it's being called "From Top to Bottom Part I"
While figuring out episodes 8 & 9, I also made the decision to switch episodes 11 & 12 as well. Episode 12 was originally slated to be the crossover / back-door pilot episode for another gay themed, currently untitled drama/mystery series I'm thinking about launching. That will now be episode 11 instead. This crossover episode will introduce us to two of the main characters and two or three recurring characters. The rest of the cast will be introduced in the first episode, should the new series move forward.
I've VERY happy with the direction of season two. I think it will by far and away blow season one out of the water (and I really liked season one!).
I've got some preliminary ideas on season three's direction, but absolutely nothing has been locked in stone yet. Once I figure out where season three will go, I'll have a better idea of how to craft episode 13, which is currently slated to be the final episode of season two.
I can't wait to share season two with all of you on March 18th 2014!
If you haven't purchased season one yet, now's the time. You can be all caught up and ready to go when season two is released!
Cheers

Puttin' on the Brakes!
Hello hello everyone!
So, while I had hoped the next post would be saying episode 8 was completed, here's the mini synopsis, sadly I had to slam on the brakes for episode 8 as I realized I had a fairly big structural flaw with episodes 8 and 9 actually.
In a nutshell, the kinda jaw-dropping cliffhanger at the end of episode 7, which I've known about since the initial conception of season two's arcs, made the plans for episode 8 virtually impossible. In the back of my head, I thought I could just work around it, but when I was laying everything out, it just didn't work. I also need a little more time to introduce the new recurring characters better.
The original idea to fix this mess I got myself into, was to just flip flop episodes 8 and 9, focusing on Dru/Austin's movie first, then come back to Reese/Kyle's movie in episode 9. But then I started thinking, why even separate the movies at all, why not just mash everything together into a two-part episode instead?
So that's the new plan - the show's first two-part episode. I know I talked about doing that in the season one, but logistically it didn't make sense to do that with episodes 4 and 5 (for those of you that have read it, it just wouldn't have worked, right?)
But in this instance, it totally makes sense and I'm running with it.
This two-parter, whose titles are now going to be reversed, with "Role Reversal" becoming episode 8 and "Cherry Poppin'" becoming episode 9, will more than likely be the most sexually charged episodes yet. There will most likely be at least 3 "scenes" from each movie in these two episodes.
I do have to be very careful with these next two episodes, as they are the catalyst for the rest of the season's stories, which also carry over into the first episode or two of season three.
Here's a fun fact of the day for you: I HATE writing the "scenes" for this show. I absolute dread them when it comes time to write them. The big scene in episode 3 with Austin/Reese was 9 pages of torture for me. That scene was a big part of the reason why you didn't see anymore "scenes" in episodes 4-6. While I always try to make those scenes move the story forward and not just be there for the sake of being there, I still despise them with a passion. For all 4 boys, this movie battle tests them in so many different ways and ultimately will change the course for all of them.
I dread the "scenes" for these next two episodes, but know it's a must to move all of their characters forward!
So the new plan is to write part one next weekend and then part two the weekend after. That'll put me at the half-way mark for the season, keeping in mind that season two will have seven episodes instead of the six episodes season one had :-)
Until next time!

Episode Titles (Ongoing)
So I received a message from a follower of the blog asking me why I can't ever seem to make up my mind on the titles of the episodes. Granted, they do change on a pretty frequent basis. Here's why:
When I'm conceiving the ideas for each episode or story arc, it always starts off one way in my head, then ends up being something different by the time I write it.
While I do have a general concept for each episode, I do find myself making things up as I go. As result, original titles don't always match the theme of the episode once completed. Or, story lines get shifted around or scrapped altogether.
Below is a list of all episodes completed thus far, with final titles and original titles. Just so you can see the differences :-)
SEASON ONE
Episode 1: "Anything Could Happen"
Episode 2: "The Boy is a Bottom" (Originally "GENerosity")
Episode 3: "Frenemies"
Episode 4: "I Love/Hate You" (Originally "Surprise!")
Episode 5: "Hungry Eyes" (Originally "Walks of Shame")
Episode 6: "Rivals" (Originally "Challenges")
SEASON TWO
Episode 7: "Making Waves" (Originally "People Like Us!")
Episode 8: "Cherry Poppin'"
Episode 9: "From Top to Bottom" (Originally "Role Reversal")
Episode 10: "Revelations" (Originally "And the Winner Is...")
Episode 11: "Welcome to TRiX"
Episode 12: "The Golden Cocks"
Episode 13: "Say Something" (Originally "Decisions of Consequence")
SEASON THREE
Episode 14: "Full Disclosure"
Episode 15: "dra-matiX.com"
Episode 16: "The Boyfriend Series"
Episode 17: "The King of Kings"
Episode 18: "n/a" (Note: The title of this episode will not be revealed until the season is released)
Episode 19: "Demons"
Episode 20: "All of Me" (Originally "Questions")
I'll update this particular post as more episodes are completed and titles are finalized :-)

Episode 7: NEW TITLE & Mini Synopsis
Hey everyone!
Episode 7, the first episode of season two is now complete! I found that the show is definitely taking a more dramatic turn to kick start season two, as a wide variety of story lines are beginning. These stories should be very exciting and I look forward to throwing in a bunch of random curve balls over the first four episodes. Here's hoping everyone enjoys!
Episode 7: "Making Waves"
The movie battle between Dru/Austin & Reese/Kyle is in full swing. With both teams struggling to conceive original ideas, risque decisions are made to try and one up each other; Courtney & Jeremy's new interACTIVE talk show "The DL" debuts; An open casting call brings in a game changer for one of the teams; April gets a surprising offer; Ian's games are far from over.
Look for season two of dru-maddoX.com to be released on March 18th 2014 :-)

(Current) Titles for Episodes 7 & 8
Hey everyone!
I'm a day or two away from getting started on writing the first two episodes for season two of dru-maddoX.com! I'm very excited to dive back into it! The original plan was to get started writing today, but I needed to work out a little bit better of an outline for each episode's pace and such. Felt a little off.
By now, you've all discovered that I can never really decide on the titles for the episodes and actually stick with them, but I think I've got episodes 7 & 8's titles pretty much locked in.
Episode 7 is currently titled: " People Like Us "
Episode 8 is currently titled: " Cherry Poppin' "
I'm really looking forward to episode 8, as it features a lot of the "scenes" for Reese's movie. I spent a good amount of time trying to make his movie something way outside the box. Fingers crossed what I've come up with, works! :-)
The only other episode to have a tentative title so far is episode 10. That episode is currently slated to reveal the winner of the movie battle between Dru/Austin and Reese/Kyle, as well as bring several story-lines to a close, while kick-starting a whole bunch of new ones that will carry over into season three :-)
Hopefully the next time you hear from me, it'll be with an announcement that episode 7 is completed! Once done, I'll post the mini-synopsis of the episode and start teasing you with little facts here and there building up to the release in March :-)
Until next time!

Season Two & Beyond Update
Hey everyone,
I feel like a broken record, apologizing again for being so MIA from the blog - but unfortunately there just hasn't been time. :-(
But, I'm here now and have a few more updates on the upcoming season two, as well as some news regarding the future of dru-maddoX.com!
Prep for season two is virtually done at this point. I'm one of those weird writers that starts at the end and works my way back to the beginning. I always found it was easier to know how everything was going to end and then work everything out leading up to that ending. Most that have read season one's cliffhanger said it literally came out of left field and they truly enjoyed that. Lemme tell ya - season two's cliffhanger - quite the doozy! It will quite literally change the entire landscape of the series and propel it in a completely different direction.
Which also leads to, in my mind anyways, some more exciting news! Coming up with this doozy of a cliffhanger left my mind wandering on if I went with it, where would it all go? Thankfully, I loved the cliffhanger enough, that it led me to do some initial mapping out of seasons three AND four! That's right - it's official - dru-maddoX.com will have at least four seasons! Beyond that, well, we'll see what I can come up with - but the way it's all currently laid out, the series will have come full circle by the end of season four.
In some updated season two character news - 2 new recurring characters will be introduced, 4 season one recurring characters will return, as well as an expanded role for a character you already know:

- Jeremy Lockwood - Everyone's favorite bottom Jeremy, who appeared in 4 episodes of season one, A) Finally has a last name and B) Will be working very closely with Courtney on a new feature of interACTIVE as well as replace "Joe" as webmaster and cameraman for the site. Jeremy will still appear on camera every now and then, but will mostly take a behind-the-scenes role moving forward.
**RETURNING**
- May Flowers - May will return to stir the pot with April, as well as become an asset to....Kyle?
- Tony & RJ - Look for Austin's boys to make some more appearances throughout season two.
- Ian Andrews - Ian will make at least two appearances before his storyline wraps up. How that gets wrapped up though, that's the fun part! :-)
**NEW**
- Brody McIver - A new model for the site. Look for him to make waves in his debut on the site when he gets cast opposite Reese in Reese's movie.
- "Nick" - That's all I'm going to give you on this character. Any more information than that, might ruin the surprise ;-)
Hopefully the two week wait for this update was worth it! Current plans have me writing episode 7 (the first of season two) over the Thanksgiving weekend. With any luck, I can knock out episode 8 while I'm at it :-)
Until next time!

First Reader Review!
I totally just noticed that dru-maddoX.com season one has it's first reader review up and that reader gave season one the highest compliment I could've received - a 5 star review!
A funny, surprisingly touching look at the world of internet porn October 24, 2013
Thank you for your beautifully written review Nick. And to answer your question - yes, there are A LOT more fun things planned for season two! I just figured out, 3 days ago actually, what the season two cliffhanger is going to be. It makes season one's cliffhanger look like nothing! ;-)
What do you think of season one? Post your review on the amazon.com page and I'll post it on the blog as well (good or bad)!

Season One: Behind the Scenes and a look ahead to Season Two (CONTAINS SPOILERS - DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ SEASON ONE)
Hey everyone!
So sorry for the radio silence the past couple weeks - work has been crazy busy!
I thought it might be fun to let everyone know some of the "behind the scenes" moments in the creation and writing of season one. A lot of things changed during the course of the writing that you may, or may not, I'll be real about it, be interested in knowing. :-)
WARNING: Do not read any further if you have not read all of season one. Some of the information below contains spoilers.
DID YOU KNOW?:
- That in the original outlines of the show, dru-maddoX.com was not only going to feature gay scenes, but lesbian and straight scenes as well. The latter two were scrapped simply because I thought it might be too much too soon. While there was a "straight" sex scene in episode 3, I wanted the focus of the show to be on the core characters and I feared adding the lesbian / straight scenes to the site would involve too many characters right off the bat. Who knows, maybe in future seasons I'll add the lesbian and straight scenes to the site.
- There were no plans to put Dru/Reese or Austin/Kyle together. The original outlines called for a 4-way love circle, so to speak. Each guy was going to like another guy, who really liked another guy and so forth. IE: Dru was in love with Reese, who was in love with Kyle, who was in love with Austin, who was in love with Dru. Complicated, right? I opted to do away with that shortly after writing the first episode. You can see the initial ground-work of this 4-way love circle in episode 1, then it slowly fades away after episode 2 and we start seeing the Dru/Reese and Kyle/Austin pairings begin to happen.
- Ian Andrews was never intended to become who he became. He was literally just going to be a catalyst to bring Austin and Kyle closer together. I never had planned on him essentially becoming a crazed/obsessed stalker for Austin. That just kind of started happening as I was writing episode 5. I liked it, so I ran with it. SEASON TWO SPOILER: We'll see Ian at least once in season two. Austin has unfinished business with him ;-)
- Oh Courtney. I absolutely adore her. No matter what wild and crazy thing I come up with for her to possibly say or do, it always just seems to work. The sky's the limit with her. I especially liked in episode 3 when she sorta became friends with April. Those were some fun scenes to write.
- Speaking of Courtney - you might be surprised to know that she and Reese were technically never planned on being "series regulars" as it would be said in the TV world. They were both planned on being recurring characters. That changed very quickly for Reese after the first episode when I absolutely fell in love with writing scenes for he and Dru. They just meshed so perfectly that I decided I had to keep Reese around the entire time. It wasn't decided on Courtney until episode 2. Man, I'll never be able to look at a wire coat hanger the same again!
- My absolute favorite scene of the entire first season? It might surprise you. It was in episode 4, act 3. The scene where Kyle first admits his feelings about Austin to April on the back patio in the swing. Mother like April giving a very childish Kyle advice on gay love. I adore that scene. I thought it really gave us a strong look at how April fits into this entire story as well. She is, like it or not, the mother figure to all these horny gay boys.
- The show was always planned on being set in San Diego, CA. There was a brief moment where I considered moving it to Los Angeles, Van Nuys in particular, but I scrapped that. I have another, currently untitled, gay drama/mystery series that I'm working on which would be set in West Hollywood, CA and I didn't want two shows set in the same place. SEASON TWO SPOILER: You'll get to explore this other potential gay drama/mystery series towards the end of season two with a special crossover episode that will feature Dru and Reese introducing us to this new series and at least two of it's main characters. If the audience likes it enough, I'll write more of it :-)
- Austin was always slated to be the second male lead of the show. Reese, coming out of nowhere, stole that spot. I didn't realize until I was about 20 pages into the first episode that I hadn't even brought Austin into the picture yet. Not a good sign for the planned second male lead. I also never had mapped out that Austin was going to be, for lack of a better word, an ass! I still to this day don't know why I just made you hate him in the first few episodes. It totally worked and I had fun writing it, but ya, even I can't explain that one.
- The "fuck-off" in episode 3 was always planned to be something huge. I tossed around so many different ideas on how/what that scene should be. It was the first sex scene between the biggest gay porn star out there and the hottest fresh piece of meat the gay porn world has seen in years. The plan from the beginning for was it to be a BDSM scene. I tossed around the idea of turning it into a orgy of sorts, or a 3-way with Dru. Yes, with Dru. But then decided to keep the original plan of Austin dominating Reese with Reese turning the tables on Austin and dominating him. Throwing in each of them thinking about the ones they loved (Dru and Kyle) having sex with them during the scene was a spur of the moment decision when I was writing it. I think it really worked. It also led to a cool scene with Austin / Reese afterwards. I also wrote that scene with the thought in the back of my head, if this show ever gets produced, that would be fucking hot as hell to watch! Guilty pleasures :-)
- Austin's house arrest was originally slated to end in episode 6. When I got to the writing of that episode, I opted to keep it going into season two. While creativity restricting in a lot of ways, keeping Austin trapped at the house makes sense with the current plans for season two. This was however a fun way to give Tony and RJ more to do. They became Austin's eyes and ears outside the house. I had a lot of fun writing their scenes in episode 4. Look for them to make some more appearances in season two.
- I truly enjoyed the April / May scenes in Episode 6. We got to see a different side of April, which I think made her stronger. I really hesitated with using May Flowers as her ex's name but the idea of April Showers and May Flowers was just to absurd not to use. SEASON TWO SPOILER: We certainly have not seen the last of May. There's complex arc planned over the first 4 episodes of season two that will feature her return, but not in a way you might expect.
- We have however, seen the last of Courtney's sister Kim. That just didn't play out the way I thought it would. Kim served her purpose in episode 5 but I currently don't see any need for her to return to the series. Who knows, maybe that will change, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
- Courtney was originally named Jessica.
- I'm big on picking a soundtrack to listen to on repeat when I'm writing something. I won't go into what my soundtrack was for this particular series, but the one song that got it all started was Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen" - which is where the title of the pilot came from. I had the thought from the first time I heard the song that it would be an awesome theme song for a TV show. In my head, it's the theme song for dru-maddoX.com. Start around the 3:59 mark in the song and play it out :-)
- The original working title for the show was XXX. That was scrapped a) because of the movie franchise and b) it felt like it would be about nothing but porn, which is not what this show's about. I opted with dru-maddoX.com instead, capitalizing the X to keep the porn reference there, but making it less prominent. This idea is actually how Dru got his last name. It had to end with the X and there aren't a lot of options out there. It was between Maddox and Mattox - with Maddox winning out.
- One of the initial concepts had the characters all working together at either an office building or some type of restaurant or porn store. Those were all quickly dismissed.
LOOKING AHEAD TO SEASON TWO:
- We will meet Reese's mother for the first time. She's going to have some issues with her son being in porn.
- The "movie battle" between Austin/Dru and Reese/Kyle will be the primary focus of the season. One of the pairs' movies will feature the company's first 3-way. You might very be surprised as to who's in it! This battle will also put strain on our couples' relationships and possibly lead to the end of one.
- April gets an opportunity that could dramatically change her role with the site and her relationship with Dru.
- The boys will get their first taste of a yet-to-be-named porn awards. What happens following those awards however, will change absolutely everything and turn the site literally, upside down.
- Poor Kyle. This poor kid can't seem to catch a break. Life for him after turning 21 has been anything but ideal. Sadly for him, it's about to get worse. Something will happen that no one would've ever predicted.
- Jeremy will have his role expanded in season two. He'll also get a last name! He was featured all through-out season one with little back-story. He and Courtney will be teaming up to launch a new feature of interACTIVE called "the DL" that has the potential to be a lot of fun.
- We'll get to meet Dru's previously mentioned ex, Wes.
- The house will undergo some renovations between seasons one and two, which will take place approx 3 weeks following the final moments of season one. The backyard will be changing - adding two new shooting spaces and a hot tub. Expect these new shooting spaces to get a lot of use beginning in the second episode of season two.
There are a lot more exciting things planned, but if I tell you everything - there would be no point in reading season two ;-)
So sorry for the radio silence the past couple weeks - work has been crazy busy!
I thought it might be fun to let everyone know some of the "behind the scenes" moments in the creation and writing of season one. A lot of things changed during the course of the writing that you may, or may not, I'll be real about it, be interested in knowing. :-)
WARNING: Do not read any further if you have not read all of season one. Some of the information below contains spoilers.
DID YOU KNOW?:
- That in the original outlines of the show, dru-maddoX.com was not only going to feature gay scenes, but lesbian and straight scenes as well. The latter two were scrapped simply because I thought it might be too much too soon. While there was a "straight" sex scene in episode 3, I wanted the focus of the show to be on the core characters and I feared adding the lesbian / straight scenes to the site would involve too many characters right off the bat. Who knows, maybe in future seasons I'll add the lesbian and straight scenes to the site.
- There were no plans to put Dru/Reese or Austin/Kyle together. The original outlines called for a 4-way love circle, so to speak. Each guy was going to like another guy, who really liked another guy and so forth. IE: Dru was in love with Reese, who was in love with Kyle, who was in love with Austin, who was in love with Dru. Complicated, right? I opted to do away with that shortly after writing the first episode. You can see the initial ground-work of this 4-way love circle in episode 1, then it slowly fades away after episode 2 and we start seeing the Dru/Reese and Kyle/Austin pairings begin to happen.
- Ian Andrews was never intended to become who he became. He was literally just going to be a catalyst to bring Austin and Kyle closer together. I never had planned on him essentially becoming a crazed/obsessed stalker for Austin. That just kind of started happening as I was writing episode 5. I liked it, so I ran with it. SEASON TWO SPOILER: We'll see Ian at least once in season two. Austin has unfinished business with him ;-)
- Oh Courtney. I absolutely adore her. No matter what wild and crazy thing I come up with for her to possibly say or do, it always just seems to work. The sky's the limit with her. I especially liked in episode 3 when she sorta became friends with April. Those were some fun scenes to write.
- Speaking of Courtney - you might be surprised to know that she and Reese were technically never planned on being "series regulars" as it would be said in the TV world. They were both planned on being recurring characters. That changed very quickly for Reese after the first episode when I absolutely fell in love with writing scenes for he and Dru. They just meshed so perfectly that I decided I had to keep Reese around the entire time. It wasn't decided on Courtney until episode 2. Man, I'll never be able to look at a wire coat hanger the same again!
- My absolute favorite scene of the entire first season? It might surprise you. It was in episode 4, act 3. The scene where Kyle first admits his feelings about Austin to April on the back patio in the swing. Mother like April giving a very childish Kyle advice on gay love. I adore that scene. I thought it really gave us a strong look at how April fits into this entire story as well. She is, like it or not, the mother figure to all these horny gay boys.

Update
Hey everyone,
So I'm in the final phase of re-formatting everything so it'll read nicely on the Kindle/iPad/other e-reader programs. In the process of doing the final proof now.
I'm so excited to share the world of dru-maddoX.com with the world. I'm working on locking in a release date for season one - which I think will be within the next two weeks. Once I get a concrete date locked in, I'll be sure to post it!
Season two stories are still being worked on. I had a random thought for a story line for Kyle, but I'm not sure if i want to "go there" or not. Maybe when season one is released and people have had the chance to read it - I'll put up a poll to see if anyone wants me to go in the direction I'm thinking. I'm literally 50/50 and I hate that!
Please be sure to help spread the word about dru-maddoX.com season one. Invite people to follow this blog and post links to amazon.com, where dru-maddoX.com will be sold exclusively when it's available.
Let's make, from what I can tell, the first ever e-tv series a phenomenon!
Lots of love!

Updates
Hey Everyone,
I thought I'd take a quick second to update you all on what's happening in the world of dru-maddoX.com.
Season One's final reviews are underway. Gotta check all the spelling, grammar, etc. I went back and re-wrote a couple scenes in episodes 1 and 3 that I thought needed a little sprucing up! Very happy with the revisions.
The hope is to finish the reviews by tomorrow and then begin the publication process. My goal from the start has been to have this ready for release sometime in late September / early October and barring any set-backs, everything looks to be on the right track so far!
I've also been hard at work drafting the stories for season two. I'm still really excited about Reese's journey in season two and how that will impact not only his relationship with Dru, but his relationship with everyone at the site.
I'm also very excited to be bringing May back for a little bit. Found a cool story that involves her causing more drama for April.
Thing are slowly coming together for a fun Courtney and possibly Jeremy video blog idea. I'm still not 100% sure if Jeremy will be a part of this or not. That character is one that I would like to expand in season two and have the initial way how, but I still want to give him something more to do and develop his character a bit more.
There will be a new "series regular" if you want to call it that in season two. This character has quite the monkey wrench to throw into things and I'm excited how it's all going to play out. More on this character will be revealed once I finish developing him. I'm 90% sure I've locked in his name, but who knows. For now, his name is... Brody Lockwood.
I'm very excited to release season one and hear what everyone thinks about it. Little nervous too, can't lie :-)
I wish everyone a safe and happy Labor Day weekend and I'll talk to you all again soon!

Full Season One Episode Breakdowns
With Season One complete - I thought it might be easier for everyone to see the episode breakdowns in one, easy-to-read post. :-)
Episode 1: "Anything Could Happen"
Dru Maddox begins to assemble the talent he needs to launch his own gay themed adult website. With the help of his best lesbian friend April, Dru starts by going after the top gay porn star out there today, Austin Ryan. The only catch...he's in jail; Dru's dim-witted best friend Kyle recruits Reese, the hot new guy he meets at the gym to audition; Tensions begin to rise in the house.
Episode 2: "The Boy is a Bottom"
After a night with Austin, Kyle now thinks he's pregnant, which leads Courtney to take drastic measures; Reese and Austin prepare to film their first scenes for the site, which causes a bit of a problem for them both. Sexual tension between Dru and Reese begins to rise, despite April's concerns; Austin awkwardly pitches in to help raise money for the site.
Episode 3: "Frenemies"
Friends become enemies and enemies become friends as sexual / professional tensions threaten to derail the entire site; Austin and Reese prepare for their first big scene together; Courtney catches April on a lesbian dating site and decides to spice things up a bit; Kyle wants to be a model on the site; Reese asks Dru out on a date.
Episode 4: "I Love/Hate You"
Big changes are happening at dru-maddoX.com! An open casting call brings a fresh new face to the site; Dru's feelings for Reese weigh heavily on him, which causes him to take drastic action that changes everything; Austin attempts to repair the damage to the site and the relationships of everyone involved; Courtney starts the prep for Kyle's birthday; Kyle is jealous of the new twink that grabs Austin's attention and gets advice from April; Reese is set up by an unknown person.
Episode 5: "Hungry Eyes"
Things are getting back to normal at the site; Everyone is excited for Kyle's 21st birthday party; Austin & Dru both give Kyle presents he was never expecting; Courtney's lesbian sister visits and doesn't get along with April; Reese has a bad feeling about the new guy for the site; Someone's brownies wreak havoc; Dru opens the site up to previews and advanced membership purchases to surprising results.
Episode 6: "Rivals"
As dru-maddoX.com prepares to launch, new and old rivalries reignite; Austin and Reese differ on who should be the star of a movie for the site; Kyle has a difficult time processing what happened at his birthday; the site is sued by a competitor; April goes head to head with her ex; a performer fails their STD test.
UPDATES: The final reviews of each episode are underway. Ballpark that will be done in a couple weeks. Thoughts are racing through my head on where to go with season two. I've got some really cool stuff lined up for Reese and what I think would be a really cool moment for Austin to build towards. What I'm having the most fun planning out is the battle of the movies between Reese and Austin. So many different ways to go with it, it's been fun seeing what works and what doesn't.
There's also going to be a few new characters joining the show. Looking forward to seeing how they'll fully fit into the mix.
There's even the possibility of adding a 7th episode to season two. That episode would probably be the second to last of the season and would feature a possible back-door spin-off show if all goes well. Very exited for what possibly lies ahead!
Until next time...

UPDATES: The final reviews of each episode are underway. Ballpark that will be done in a couple weeks. Thoughts are racing through my head on where to go with season two. I've got some really cool stuff lined up for Reese and what I think would be a really cool moment for Austin to build towards. What I'm having the most fun planning out is the battle of the movies between Reese and Austin. So many different ways to go with it, it's been fun seeing what works and what doesn't.
There's also going to be a few new characters joining the show. Looking forward to seeing how they'll fully fit into the mix.
There's even the possibility of adding a 7th episode to season two. That episode would probably be the second to last of the season and would feature a possible back-door spin-off show if all goes well. Very exited for what possibly lies ahead!
Until next time...

Episode 5: NEW TITLE and Mini Synopsis
Hey everyone!
Took half a day longer than I thought it would, but episode 5 is now complete! I've, yet again, re-named an episode. Maybe I should stop saying what I think the title will be and wait until I actually decide :-)
Episode 5: "Hungry Eyes"
Things are getting back to normal at the site; Everyone is excited for Kyle's 21st birthday party; Austin & Dru both give Kyle presents he was never expecting; Courtney's lesbian sister visits and doesn't get along with April; Reese has a bad feeling about the new guy for the site; Someone's brownies wreak havoc; Dru opens the site up to previews and advanced membership purchases to surprising results.
Next up: I start working on episode 6 tomorrow, which I guess you could call the season finale of season one. Once that's complete, I'll do some more proofing to make sure everything is perfect and then start the process of getting season one published as an eBook.

Episode 4: NEW Title and Mini Synopsis
Hey everyone!
Episode 4 is now complete. What was originally supposed to be a single episode about Kyle's Birthday, then switched to a two-part episode, has now reverted back to a single episode. Kyle's birthday story-line however, was pushed completely out of episode 4 and moved to episode 5. Did ya get all that? :-)
As I was writing episode 4, I felt as if the relationship dramas needed to take center stage and made a bunch of creative changes on the fly. None of the original story-lines were scrapped, just re-assigned to either episode 5 or episode 6.
Episode 4 has actually turned into one of my favorite episodes so far. There's a scene between Kyle and April that I simply love. I think anyone who reads the series will love it as well!
Without further ado, here's what you can expect from episode 4:
Episode 4: "I Love/Hate You"
Big changes are happening at dru-maddoX.com! An open casting call brings a fresh new face to the site; Dru's feelings for Reese weigh heavily on him, which causes him to take drastic action that changes everything; Austin attempts to repair the damage to the site and the relationships of everyone involved; Courtney starts the prep for Kyle's birthday; Kyle is jealous of the new twink that grabs Austin's attention and gets advice from April; Reese is set up by an unknown person.
The prep for episode 5 is happening today and hopefully the writing will begin tomorrow. It's now currently titled "Surprise!" :-)

In The Beginning
Hey everyone, welcome to the first blog post for dru-maddoX.com.
I'm sure you're all wondering - what the heck is dru-maddoX.com!?!
dru-maddoX.com started as a TV pilot idea, tailored specifically for the LGBT community. It's a comedic drama that focuses on Dru Maddox, a former porn star turned entrepreneur that is attempting to launch his own gay porn website...you guessed it! dru-maddoX.com.
I feel I should say that while this series does contain pornographic elements to it, it is not a porno series. It's a series about struggle, relationships, creativity, heart and determination.
While dru-maddoX.com has been and is still in contention to be shot as an actual series, I decided to try and boost interest a bit more and launch the show as an eBook series.
Here's the kicker, I'm a screenwriter, not a novelist. So my plan is to release the first season of the show, which contains six episodes, as an eBook, but in screenplay format. Brilliant? Crazy? I'm not sure yet, but I think people will enjoy this series, no matter the format.
Over the next several weeks, I'll be releasing more details on the first season of the show. I'm currently in the process of outlining the last three episodes of season one and in the early stages of determining the direction for season two.
The cover art for season one was selected yesterday actually - more on that very soon!
Please feel free to ask any questions you have about the show and be sure to join the email list so I can keep you informed when the book will be released (Current target is late Sept / early Oct).
The first episode of the series "Anything Could Happen" will be available to download for free, to show you what the series will be like at no cost to yourself, very soon :-)
I look forward to sharing the world of dru-maddoX.com with you all very soon!
Cheers
