PN Animated Adaptation Canceled · 11:55pm Sep 12th, 2014
Yeah, you might remember a year ago, when I announced that there were those interested in making an animated adaptation of my first MLP fic, Post Nuptials? If you do, you might be wondering why news on it petered out.
Well, we wrote the script and just about finished it. Then they started another project and communicated with me about it less and less. Then, last night, BronyRanger PMed me and gave it to me straight: he lost interest. Everyone else pulled out.
I'd love to take this elsewhere, but two things stop me:
1. I can't do much with it. I've already done the writing, and I have no clue how to make an animated adaptation in any other way.
2. I doubt anyone cares anymore. I was popular when we started, but with Families I think I went Jar Jar Binks on myself. Plus, A Canterlot Wedding was over two years ago, and the fics not that much younger.
I might make the script public at some point, and if anyone actually wants to, I'd be willing to work with them. But don't hold your breath.
That's terrible man.
But, I don't think that you went wrong with Families. If people don't like it, it's their problem. I actually enjoy the sequels very much.
I agree with Hidden. I myself halve enjoyed all of your work up to date and hope to see more.
I feel like I'm one of the only ones who actually prefers the sequels. On the one hoof you've got fluffy character moments and a bit of angst, on the other you've got conspiracies and multiple plot threads. Heck, I first heard of this series via mentions of Olive Branch on TV Tropes and read it to see just how the heck somepony could turn so many against Celestia.
Aw, I would wanted to see it
Damn, sorry to hear that man...
Doesn't matter. I am still doing a live read one day and make it myself.
Shame. I really enjoyed working on it. But, yeah my interests have moved to different projects. And you got Direction still going. So I'm disappointed but I not surprised.
I remember reading that story....quite frankly I don't think this could have happened to a better story as I eventually figured out Post Nuptials is basically a glorified fix fic.
I have to admit I've been wary of diving into Direction - I suspect it's one that I'll have to read when complete rather than as it goes along.
