Right before autosage, the last thread had a bombshell dropped in that working television voice actors and writers were actively participating in this fan project.

A bunch of successful 20-or-30-somethings are helping to make a young teen's dream come true.

I think the creator must have a terminal disease or something.

Sharkman, there seriously needs to be a comic about this. Or an animated short. Or a Three pat nine hour Hollywood epic trilogy that will shame anything that has come before and will after.

Their animator dropped out two months ago before they could fully finish the prologue to episode one, thus it's on hiatus. They say they'll still work on it, but no video content will be released until he's replaced.

I can't remember if it's been mentioned before, but "Avatar-the-DoD"'s stuff on dA keeps popping up when searching for "gaang jr" (in quotes, the only other stuff that seems to appear is actual GJr stuff), and there's no mention of that phrase in the artists' comments or anything.
http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=5&q=%22gaang%20jr%22

Any other explanation than "gaang jr" being used as a keyword in these submissions to increase pageviews? In which case I'd have to say thanks for the implied compliment about GJr being able to draw a crowd or something silly like that.

Hmmmm, I like the idea to be honest. It has a batman beyond feel to it. Like how most of the old cast are gone, and the ones that stay are old and help guide the new youngsters. And like how gotham got a new batman, the 4 nations get a new avatar. I honestly think if done right, it could be great.

Okay, if people remember strange things going on with DeviantArt searches, I've discovered something else that's odd. I've been searching for Legend of Korra speculative art (for shits 'n giggles), and something like nine-tenths of the returned results are for DoD stuff. See for yourself: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=Legend+Korra

DoD doesn't have any characters coincidentally named 'Korra', does it? Incidentally (leaving aside our mocking cynicism for a second), if anyone's read through the comic, how is it? Worth browsing?

Dude, wait what? I just woke up from a nap to read this, and I think I still need convincing that this isn't all some sort of fucked up fevered hallucination brought on by eating way too much pizza last night.

All I can say about this SerialKiffer is "Christ, what an asshole!"

I'll never understand juggalos... and reading his serious hate for the stuff we've been doing is just fuckin' hilarious (though that might be the late night and my confused brain talking)... it's like this whole time we've been part of a bitter feuding rivalry except someone forgot to tell us to feud too.

What's the problem with the Dark Lotus thing? I challenge you to find a writer not inspired by music, and if no one knew what it was based on beforehand, what's the big deal? Doesn't that mean Kiffer took it far away enough so that it became something different?

Don't get me wrong, Kiffer's quite a bitch, but this seems misdirected...

Also, now that I think of it, didn't someone specifically come here to say Kiffer was never actually in charge? He only came up with the original idea and everyone else worked with it? When did that change?

Because it's like being inspired by music, then naming your group "Pink Floyd Studios" and your story does nothing but constantly and overtly reference "The Dark Side of the Moon" with main characters that look like Roger Waters and David Gilmour.

There's inspiration, and then there's taking shit too far.

>Also, now that I think of it, didn't someone specifically come here to say Kiffer was never actually in charge? He only came up with the original idea and everyone else worked with it? When did that change?

It didn't, and it seems that's the problem. It sounds like Kiffer, dissatisfied or whatever with the project, took the script everybody was working on, tweaked it, and gave it to a separate artist to make into a comic without any prompting or consultation with anybody else. When asked to address the obvious ICP references and why he was trying to take the reins from the many he'd gotten under his project's banner, he flat out refused to budge, so they decided to kick his ass out and stop making constant reference to ICP.

In short:

Fucking fan-projects! How do they work?!

I really want to not just instantly make fun of this, because I know quite a few folks who like ICP who are actually Good People, but then I think "hmmm... what if I was making an AtLA fan project and I tried to base a character on, let's say, Carl Newman," And then I just get the giggles.

I am honestly baffled that anyone is surprised this whole thing is based on some preteen angry angst band.

I mean, God, the title you guys.

Thanks for the supportive comments. (:

>So what does this mean for the project. Are you guys keeping the characters but scrapping the current story? How far does this set you back?
We are planning to keep our main characters around, but any ICP references and concepts in the storyline are ones we want to throw out. Because some of these were central to the storyline (Shen's role, for example), a good deal of the story has to be reworked. It's hard to answer that last question because of this...

These are ADORABLE. Made my morning.

You know, if this whole shakeup effects your main villain, I think Sharkman has already suggested the perfect fix.


I'd also like to say that, despite this setting you all back, and I'm sure it was a tough thing to do. It really does seem better for your project in the long run.

I don't know the guy personally, but just judging by his responses on this board and his apparent attempts to start some kind of "War" between the two projects I can't imagine he was a joy to work with.

...and I'm still trying to find what connection the name Jillian has to ICP. My Google-fu has failed so far, but there has to be one, why else would he have been so adamant about not changing it.

No.82633
The fucker's responded with denial. See the original "Change of direction" thread.

Also, it was probably him who used the DoD account to fave some second-rate right-wing political cartoons. So yeah, fuck this guy.
