The History Of Autumn Lake, The Series

And what a strange story it is!  Autumn Lake was created, in one way or another, over the span of ten years.  As a child, I would sketch out different soap-like plots and jot down character ideas.  In 1998, I discovered the online websoap community and found several folks with the same interests I have.  Particularly, I was impressed with sites like Covington Bay, Footprints and About Schuyler Falls.  Each of these sites seemed to represent what I loved most about the serial drama format: the emphasis of character over plot.

I launched Autumn Lake as a daily soap in the winter of 1998.  Over the next three years, the series went through many transformations before finally falling into a semi-permanent retirement in early 2000. 

During the hiatus, I have received several emails from devoted readers asking when/if AL would return.  In the 2001 "Eppy Awards," Autumn Lake was voted as "Favorite Non-Current Series" in the Audience Choice Awards. 

Now, with our domain finally in place and new, re-tooled episodes ready to roll, we're giving this another shot.  I hope you all enjoy it.
