The web series space has been buzzing lately with a number of exciting new episodes, premieres and industry news. Below is a roundup:* "What would you do if you only had 12 days to live?"

* ADULTS ONLY creator/writer Jason M. Burns shares some insight her learned while making the first season of the show in our recent interview: "The biggest lesson I took out of it was you don't have to do everything yourself. It's okay to rely on other people to get things done. Sometimes it's a budgetary thing, but every group that gets together for a project like this has a good core. Delegation is key. You can focus on certain things and not have to focus on everything."
Watch the latest episode of ADULTS ONLY below featuring the debut of Skid Row lead singer Sebastian Bach:
A special edition one-shot comic book based on ADULTS ONLY is now in the works. Written by Burns and drawn by Armando M. Zanker, the book will be published by Ape Entertainment and tell an untold story that will take place after the season 1 finale.
* The second season of DOWNSIZED was nominated for a 2012 Writers Guild Award earlier this year. Now the show has released a bonus episode.
