Winds Of Change

Winds Of Change is a five-part mini-series by founding forum members AppleCobbler and Ross, published in September 2012. The episodes were published over five nights between 3rd and 7th September 2012.
The series follows the impact of a deadly storm on a fictional community called Harbour Valley. Although it was a text-based project, characters were actually cast (see below). To date, Winds Of Change is the only drama series AppleCobbler and Ross have ever worked on together.
The project originally had no title card; one was created for it retroactively in April 2020 by Imago Productions. If features the show's name written in title case in the font Futura, at the bottom right of the card, backed onto an image of an ominous, purple thunderstorm over a sea in the distance.
==Reception==
The project received a largely positive response. What few criticisms there were were fairly minor, such as the series being too short or occasionally lacking in detail with regards the storm.
