The project this thread concerns
does seem to be still limping on, however to be honest I doubt it will ever get off the ground– simply too ambitious. Professionals with full legal rights and an actual budget might well still be daunted by the scope of this.
Which brings me to a proposal: would anyone here be interested in collaborating on a
short (1-3 minutes) animated fan-film on a much smaller scale, relating just an incident or two from one of the stories? I'd be looking for general suggestions, and perhaps voice actors. I would be using this for self–promotion, and obviously it would be unpaid, but I'd give full credit to anyone who helped out.
