What's the status of Heatz? Is there anything I can do to help get it finished?

Smokin' Vokoun didn't send me his match. If you want to do it, that'd be dandy. If not, though, I'll just do a quick write up (like I am for the other match)

Honestly, I'm going to start posting the results of matches that go unwritten as dark matches. The entire purpose of Heatz is for new people to develop their characters and match writing skills. There is no excuse for people that are on Heatz! not to be writing their own matches, and I surely don't care about the direction of their characters if they don't.
From now on, if a match goes unclaimed, the result will be posted before the show starts, much like a quick result.
Ex.
Viva Los Bio Dome def. The Undead Man
and a few lines below, the show will start.
------
Sure, someone else could take the job and put Heatz! together, but why the hell should people have to assume more work because you guys don't want to develop your characters? Screw that noise. If you don't want to write your matches, or input anything, then you can have a quick result that will do nothing by way of making your character relevant.
With that being said, though, the show can be edited if you decide to write your match late.
If you want my honest opinion, I think Evil M is far too nice to us, and takes way too much shit on his plate. At the end of the day, if one of two (or four) people in a match couldn't assume the responisbility for that match, it shouldn't have to be written by someone else.
That's the rule on Heatz!, I don't know if Evil M is going to institute it on Raw, but he should. We've had late shows far too often because of people not holding their ends, and to quickly write a match takes five minutes.

Dark Match: The Smokin' Vokoun def. The General of the Monkey Army
Sunday Night Heatz!11 - May 5th, 2010
Non-Title Match: Inspector Shetty vs. Johnathan Michaels
The intro pyro goes off and Inspector Shetty is already in the ring anticipating the arrival of Johnathan Michaels.
DOA from Foo Fighters hits, and Johnathan Michaels makes his way to the ring.
Referee Spud Johnson checks both men for weapons and calls for the bell.
Michaels charges Shetty and flattens him with a quick clothesline. Shetty quickly gets up and shakes off the effects and the two men trade haymakers.
Shetty throws an irish uppercut and Michaels. Shetty whips Michaels off the ropes and hits him with a big boot.
Shetty picks Michaels up and quickly goes for the Calcutta. Michaels pushes him off and Shetty bounces off the ropes and walks right into the Fade to Black.
Michaels wipes his mouth and walks over to Shetty, drags him into the middle of the ring, and locks in the Key Grip.
Shetty fights towards the ropes, but Michaels continues pulling him back into the center of the ring.
Shetty reluctantly taps.
Here is your winner, The Champion of Honor, Johnathan Michaels!
----------
Titanothere vs. Dream Warrior
Sean Kelly: And now we come to an exhibition match between the twice snubbed Monster of the Mesozoic Age and the hot new prospect Dream Warrior.
Michael Gettenpill: That's right, Sean, let's join Jerry Fish as Titanothere makes his way to the ring...
Jerry Fish: Our next match is scheduled for one fall.
"Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult hits the speakers. Titanothere emerges, lowering his head and pawing at the ground with both of his feet. He then proceeds to run down the ramp and to the ring.
Jerry Fish: Now entering the ring, weighing in at 366lbs, he's the monster from the Mesozoic Age... Titanothere!
Titanothere crosses the ropes and starts to remove his black studded shoulderpads as Dream Warrior warms up.
Michael Gettenpill: Say, Sean, didn't Kris Kobain retire Dream Warrior?
Sean Kelly: Yeah, you have a point there. Hey, wait a second… Speak of the devil….
Kris Kobain is walking through the crowd with a sign saying, “Your Dream Is Dead, Warrior.”
Michael Gettenpill: It’s Kris Kobain! Looks like he also noticed that Dream Warrior is supposed to be retired.
Kris Kobain has a shouting match with Dream Warrior, but Referee “Spud” Verne Johnson demands Dream Warrior’s attention.
Sean Kelly: Referee “Spud” Verne Johnson is making sure that both men concentrate on what’s important right now.
Michael Gettenpill: We’ll probably see developments in the future, but let’s get to match.
Referee "Spud" Verne Johnson starts the match. Dream Warrior runs up to Titanothere, jumps up, and locks his legs around Titanothere's neck.
Michael Gettenpill: Dream Warrior going for a huricanrana...
Titanothere doesn't budge and Dream Warrior dangles off of him.
Sean Kelly: The Monster from the Mesozoic Age may have had a few setbacks lately but his size is a force to be reckoned with.
Dream Warrior holds onto Titanothere by the legs and sits up to throw a punch at Titanothere, who blocks the punch and lunches for Dream Warrior's throat.
Michael Gettenpill: Dream Warrior's in trouble now...
Titanothere tightens his choke hold as Dream Warrior grabs at his wrist. Titanothere grabs onto one of Dream Warrior's legs with his other arm and starts to spin around.
Sean Kelly: Dream Warrior is going to be seeing stars tonight.
Titanothere continues to spin around as Dream Warrior goes limp.
Michael Gettenpill: Titanothere should do stuff like this more often.
Titanothere swings Dream Warrior into a ring post and then swings around and chucks him away.
Audience: Ooh!
Sean Kelly: Ow! That had to hurt!
Michael Gettenpill: Can the Monster from the Mesozoic Age capitalize?
Sean Kelly: More like "will" he.
Titanothere puts his foot on Dream Warrior's chest as he beats his fists against his chest, flexes his upper body muscles, and roars to the audience.
Michael Gettenpill: Look at the primal rage pouring out of Titanothere...
Referee "Spud" Verne Johnson counts 1, 2, 3.
"Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult hits the speakers.
Jerry Fish: Here is your winner by pinfall... Titanothere!
Sean Kelly: Titanothere picks up a win at last.
Michael Gettenpill: He should jump right back into the championship fray.
Sean Kelly: But the Smokin' Vokoun took away his chances at the Hardcore Championship and he lost his number one contendership for the Inter-Forum Title to the Revolution of Evolution Square.
Michael Gettenpill: He's not out of options yet though.
Sean Kelly: Like what?
Michael Gettenpill: The Championship of Honor... Who would be able to stop him?
Sean Kelly: Jonathan Michaels...
Michael Gettenpill: Titanothere is just as tall as Evil M and even heavier than Boiler Room Brawler. He is easily the biggest member on the WWCF roster.
Sean Kelly: Well I think that that's enough speculation on Titanothere for now, let's move on to the next match.
----------
Tyfo vs. Evil M
Fish - The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
*Thunderstruck* Fish - Introducing first, from Rockland, Massachusetts, weighing in a 315 pounds, Evil M!
*New Blackjacks theme* Fish - And his opponent. From Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 245 pounds, Tyfo!
Referee Spud Johnson calls for the bell. Tyfo cautiously moves towards M, who stands firm. Tyfo throws some punches, then shoots M into the ropes, but M reverses it and catches Tyfo on his way back with a back body drop!
Gettenpill - M with the first impact move of the match!
Tyfo back to his feet, but M meets him with a throat thrust, knocking Mr. Money in the Bank to the mat! Tyfo rolls to the outside for a breather.
Kelly - Smart move by Tyfo, distancing himself from the big man.
M follows, grabs Tyfo by the throat, and tosses him back in. He tosses his opponent into the corner, then hit’s a running elbow! Tyfo falls into a Chokeslam attempt, but fights his way out! M goes for a big boot, but Tyfo catches it and drops M to the mat! He drops an elbow across the leg, then legdrops it! Cover!
1! Kickout!
Tyfo backs up, hit’s the ropes, and goes for another elbow drop…
But misses!
M sit’s up!
Gettenpill - Uh-oh! It doesn’t look good for Tyfo!
Tyfo kicks him in the head and works over the leg some more. He manages to get M on his back and goes for the Texas Cloverleaf, but M grabs him by the throat!
Kelly - That’s one way to break the hold!
He gets to his feet and goes for the Chokeslam, but Tyfo grips the back of M’s neck and goes for a guillotine choke! M forces his way out of it and hammers Tyfo to the mat with a vicious spinning elbow!
Gettnpill - Tyfo saw stars after that one!
He grabs the disoriented Tyfo and drops him face first on the top turnbuckle! As Tyfo spins around, dazed, M grabs his arm and hooks him in the Crowbar!
Kelly - Crowbar! Crowbar by Evil M!
Tyfo tries to get to the ropes, but M has the hold locked in good! Tyfo taps!
Fish - Here is your winner, Evil M!
Kelly - Evil M just defeated Mr. Money in the Bank in our main event on Heatz!!1
Gettenpill - An impressive win for the Evil One, taking a page from his partner’s playbook!
Kelly - Folks, we’re out of time! Goodnight!

and to quickly write a match takes five minutes. Well, not so much with me. Mostly because I have difficulty concentrating.

I wrote it up in no more than 5 minutes. I just don't see a reason to care about other peoples matches if they don't. If something comes up, and they had something written and need someone to finish it, or have ideas about the finishes they wanted, that's totally different. For matches to go unclaimed is so unacceptable to me. Vokoun, afaik was going to write his match. When it's sent, I'll edit heatz and insert it right on in there. Until now, though, it should just be a dark match quick result.

Well, that rule works fine for Heatz since most of the time, what happens doesn't have a direct effect on storylines, unless it was requested there for a reason, in which case the match is usually taken before it's been announced.
But on NiteRaw it doesn't really work, since everything is usually intended to go somewhere. Therefore, writing it as a quick result, while easier, kinda screws things up.
Plus, half the time when shows are late, it's due to me being too lazy to write my match(es) early. In fact, the only reason tonight's match was done on time was because the show was being posted by someone else.
So at least for the time being, I won't be implementing that rule for NiteRaw.

I understand where you're coming from, but people should be in charge of their own storylines. A quick result wouldn't screw things up if you elaborated on the finish in order to continue a storyline. ie. Viva def. The Undead Man via disqualification due to interference from Taco Salad Man. Or whatever. Half of the time when shows are late, it's because you have to write 3 matches when you should have to write zero matches. Quite frankly, you're far too nice. People are quick to complain about a show being late, but you shouldn't have to write half a card, and people should stop expecting you to. A handful of people around here write matches. Nobody said they had to be amazing and super elaborate. They just need to be written and turned in on the day of the card.

I almost didn't write the tag match for niteraw yesterday because i didn't have much time but I said screw it and just did it in less than 30 minutes. Matches really don't have to be all that long. Originally with Heatz over a year ago I wanted it to be overview small matches so it would be easy to put up.
Match writing is usually the biggest thing that kills a fed so I don't want people to get bent out of shape over it. We are still extremely laid back compared to other feds and that is the way I like it. Some feds do all kinds of stuff that must take all the people in them all their time to do because they take it way way too seriously and WWCF just isn't about that.

I try my best to help writing matches. My only problem is I work weekends (I begin working Thursday night, usually straight into Sunday or Monday), so I tend to get home late or have work to get done at home. I have found, though, that whenever I do try to write a quick match, I tend to get into the match and it usually goes three pages anyway.

Well how can ya when "Crap" is in the name? But yeah, I agree that the laid back nature of this e-fed is a good quality. What if we wrote up a comprehensive collection of promo and match writing tips, including technique, process, but also regimen and discipline? It would probably be helpful for new members. Or else, maybe there should be a list of general tips for being in this e-fed on the main page - ways to make the most and get the best out of it.

To be fair though, you have to account for real-life circumstances affecting shows and write-ups. I still don't know what happened to Aaron Enigma, and he was in the middle of a world title angle.
Maybe something happened to Vokoun that prevented him from sending the match. Can't realy chew the guy out if this is the case, sometimes that's how it is. There's been more than one occasion where I agreed to write a match and then couldn't.

Heck, I was supposed to work on a Niteraw Promo with Vokoun but I haven't heard a peep from him all week since then. Probably something came up and hopefully not another Enigma-like dropoff.
