Chapter One: The Beginning

Ok, I don't even know why they are insisting I do this, since were leaving in one hour anyways but because the boss man is scary when angry I'll grin and bear it…grudgingly. To say we learned our lessons and all would be redundant, true but redundant. To say we are back to who we were and no longer blinded by the shine of our stars and are now better and wiser for it, would only be half true (and redundant by the way.)

When we came here we were different people. Different then who we once were and different then who we are now, and more importantly the people we once were and the people we are now , which is a good thing. We are now better and wiser.

I'm going to get a bit personal here. When we first arrived a few weeks back we didn't understand why they were doing this to us. We were convinced that people were jealous so therefore being punished for that. Now we understand, we were assholes so we were being punished. We are now thankful that they did this and didn't just drop us. We now deserve what we have and who we are.

Ok, so that's my deal, Am I done now?

The Story behind the Success….com

Feature Success Story of the week:…Channel Awesome/TGWTG©
By Linda Pike

Through out the years we've seen many Cinderella stories for Musicians, Actors and Athletes but never have we seen it for 'Webstars' (Well know people on the internet). Until that is we were introduced to Channel Awesome's© website ©. The site started as a place for site head and front man Doug Walker to post his videos were he reviews films and TV Shows under the name of The Nostalgia Critic© but as time went on more reviewers would join his site including well known internet names like Linkara©, SpoonyOne©, and The Nostalgia Chick© (female counterpart to Doug's character). They were pretty well-known especially after their two year anniversary film series called "Kickassia©" in 2010. But 2011 held difficulties for Team TGWTG©, they somehow had gone broke and struggled to pay to keep the site going. Channel Awesome Heads Doug, Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis, Rob Walker (Doug's Brother), and Bhargav Dronamraju struggled for two months but all seemed lost. There was one thing everyone had forgotten; In September 2010 TeamTGWTG welcomed a new member.

Sixteen year old Melissa Henderson, or aka Melstar100, (who later became third member of the 'Nostalgia' Series.) the already internationally famous actress, author, musician and business woman joined the "Cast", She was close friends with Lindsay (Nchick) as she was the closest to her age and after being grouped together for a 4-part mini series that aired in November 2010. Melissa talked to Michaud and the Walker Bros. and in March 2011 Melissa bought the company to the pleasure of Channel .

Melissa was already a Self-made billionaire at this point and was able to help the site get better publicity and promotion (including the summer 2011 TGWTG Convention Tour©). By 2012 Channel players had become famous in North America and some of Europe.

Recently the cast of released their Four Year Anniversary Event Trailer and are reportedly planning for the big 5th year mark already and plan to film it soon.

Only it hasn't been all sunshine for the People at Channel Awesome. Since their Select Theater debut last year of the independent film "Saving Channel Awesome"© based on the real events and starred the real TGWTG cast back in early 2012 the press has been hounding the Channel Awesome Players.

The Rumors of ongoing debates with two of the main reviewers Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) and counterpart Lindsay Ellis (Nostalgia Chick) have been floating around forever. The Controversy that was proven false with Krissy (That Chick with the Goggles©) still is around and has put a major stain on Krissy's reputation even though she was proven innocent. Also people have noticed on occasion very Snobby behavior from the cast and fears of negative change in their personalities are growing higher ever since Kaylyn Dicksion's (MarzGurl©) 'makeover'. They've also been known to sometimes cause chaos at public events (accidentally we've been convinced of).

All we can hope is that Melissa Henderson and the rest of Channel Awesome Execs. Can manage their people and not cause anymore trouble, especially with the Turner Gala this weekend.

Melissa Henderson shut her laptop bitterly after she finished the article. "How would you like to try to control a bunch of people when your not even 20 yet!" she muttered to herself. Sometimes being as young as she was in the business world had its disadvantages. This was why she was grateful for her "support team" that consisted of the rest of Channel Awesome and her adviser/co-chairman (till she was 20) Felicia Brigmen at M-enterprises (which ran her corporation).

Melissa had started as an author of her now-famous series "Living With Danielle" when she was 14 and from there she was now a award winning author, actress, musician and was a successful businesswoman. M-enterprises is the corporation that ran her publishing company, her production company, her record label and now Channel Awesome.

The eighteen turning nineteen year old had learned the ropes at an early age and now they were like a second language to her. Yet, still people always take her seriously, including those bone-heads (as she had always referred to them as) at . She was concerned of their reputation and well-being at the Gala after what had happened last year at the Gala, she was to go and meet the Channel Awesome people in 15 to discuss this before they addressed the bone-heads tomorrow when they all arrived in L.A. for the Gala.

Melissa finished getting ready and headed out of her "L.A. work home " to the car and drove to the hotel were Mike and Walkers were waiting for her. She parked the car and ran into Felicia in the Lobby. She and Felicia knocked on Mike's room. Rob answered the door and they entered. Inside were Doug, Rob, Mike and Bhargav.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Melissa said with a friendly smile as the meeting began.
