When Another World Today launched in May of 2009, it was with the unprecedented intention of bringing a daytime show's fans into the official storytelling process. We began with viewer-directed polls, then, in June 2009, expanded into Role-Playing. It was the hope of TeleNext Media Inc. that AW's fans would invest in its future by actively helping to create its present.
Three months into our grand experiment, we are thrilled to report that it's been a raging success. Not only are readers voting in our weekly polls, but they have assumed numerous Bay City personalities through our role-playing game, and some have even created original multimedia to compliment it!
The article also gives a shout-out to the website created by one of the AWT board members ~ http://www.anotherworldroleplay.com/. The site includes a list of all the roll-play characters, the stories & *Cecile's* movie poster.
As a reader of the weekly epi's & a participant in the roll-play, I find it to be entertaining fluff and I look forward to the new epi every Monday. Keeping up with the roll-play is a bit more challenging. Sheesh...some of those peeps can TALK!
As a fan of AW, I hope the enthusiastic response is interpreted as an indication of how much AW fans STILL love and miss the show and will lead to P&G/TeleNext/Hulu adding the 1981 AW epi's to the current line-up. Many of the role-play characters are from the early days of AW and, obviously, are thought of as fondly as the characters many of us are more familiar with.

When I first read the email from AWT the wording had me thinking that it contained bad news---such as that the AWT episodes were going to be discontinued---and I thought, "Oh no, not again!" Happily the news is good and we the fans have shown them that we are still crazy after all these years(too bad SoapNet didn't get that message).
I too look forward to the weekly epis and, though I don't participate, I enjoy keeping up with some of the role play too. Honestly, a lot of it is a little too, shall we say, "involved" for me but if it shows TPTB that the fans are still interested it's all good.
There's no fan like a soap fan and AW fans are obviously a lot more devoted than most.
