This is an ongoing thread for one off posts for Dreams Ent Trainees doing videos, streams, and other similar things that Dreams Ent is releasing to help build up enthusiasm for their upcoming groups. Things that you might want to post in this thread:
- Birthday Posts: Generally, they're going to give the chance to people to post a cover or vlog or similar (whatever promotes them best) on their birthdays. This gives a chance for trainees to show off their skills and also for potential fans to get to know the trainees.
- Monthly Evaluations: Every month, Dreams Ent will be giving them monthly evaluations on dance and vocal (and/or rap). Some of these might be group things, which would be their own threads, but solo ones could get posted here. Again, they are only going to post ones that they think highlight or show off the trainees well.
- Day in the Life/Vlogs: This is again something that might more often be done as a thread with several trainees; however, because one of the selling points of Kpop groups is personality, they will be encouraging the trainees to start to establish a personality presence. Still, like everything the trainees release, this will be highly curated by staff: they're trying to build up a strong positive image for the trainees. These would likely be pretty short and focused on some aspect of training (or just involve them talking about something that would come off as lighthearted or charming).
- Other covers are always a possibility, and if you aren't sure if something would make sense as a promotional material, then feel free to come ask me or Redeim .
- There also might be some written (blog/tweet/etc) promotional posts.
There are a few types of posts that could be made from a format standpoint:
- Youtube: This is a pretty big base of these posts. They're pre-recorded, may receive light editing, and can be easily and heavily curated.
- Vlive: This is for streams. The trainees probably aren't going to often do these solo, but especially someone who has a more "personality" appeal might do one sometimes. They often involve interacting with comments and basically vlogging. These would be planned out with staff in advance, but they would have a higher element of improvisation and getting the chance to say things on the spot and have them go up because they are live streamed.
- Blog: There is a chance that the trainees could get to basically write "letters to fans." Again, these are heavily curated by staff.
A few notes:
- If you want to include someone else's character in your post as a side role, please discuss it with them. (Mentioning someone and what your character thinks of them is fine though, especially since if you didn't match it with the actual character perfectly, it's fine because your character might have misunderstood/misinterpreted something).
- Also, if you want to involve someone else's character, consider reaching out to them to make a thread instead! This is a fun place to put some character building, but the backbone of this entire site is of course threads with other people.
- So far, very few members of the Dreams Ent staff are characters on the site, so feel free to just use background characters under your control for trainers/managers/other staff, though because Dreams Ent is a small company, in general try to keep your background characters fairly self consistent. There aren't that many trainers that they work with.
- Remember, this should be something that would be front facing for potential fans to see, so it is generally going to be showing the best of the trainees (and what Dreams Ent thinks is good to show of them).
