The Guild is an American
comedy web series created and written by
Felicia Day, who also stars as Cyd Sherman (AKA Codex). It premiered on
YouTube on July 27, 2007, and ran until 2013. Seasons two through five
webisodes premiered on Microsoft's
Xbox Live Marketplace,
Zune Marketplace, and
MSN Video. The webisodes were later made available on the official
Guild website, YouTube, and
iTunes. According to Day, Microsoft's business model changed after season five; Day wanted to keep ownership, so the episode premieres moved to Day's YouTube channel
Geek & Sundry. The webisodes are also available via DVD and streaming on Hulu and Netflix.
