To be honest Vol, if it is full of actual drama it may be well received by serious people with something to add. You seem to be ignoring what it would take to get people rushing towards the drama. Lowest common denominator and there is no accounting for taste might be two things to keep in mind if you want to play in the mud.
People don't want to here about suicide training or supposed epic cyclocross feats unless you are capable of making the story more interesting than the event.
