They're going to do "Stranded" but as the backdoor pilot to The Sentinels but use the remaining short scripts instead of the McKinney novels, but set it in the present day.
Stranded is one of the stories, and although Kat said it is like a pilot, it is not. It is a standalone episode coming in a few weeks to a month. The Sentinels would be a foolish thing to use as script fodder. It would be an in joke. Best to make Rebels instead, or something the Intergalactic, and have it star the Macross, or do something original. This is not set in stone at all.
Can anyone get in on doing the Mouse Trap films and appear in them if they just authored episodes?
No. We have no plans for an author submission. This is confused because in the archive there are several authors, but they're past authors who had worked before in the MUSH and already had submitted when it was allowed. Every one of the stories came out before 2007. Most are from the 2003 Trans Tech magazine.
Trolls have appeared to complain that they did not like this author or that story, for reasons, and also commented that one of the former presenters had been kicked off the TF boards for being a troll himself, and yet you are using some of their stories?
We are aware of this person. It is not his current life that interests us, or what he did in 2013 or so, but rather, one of the stories which was accepted. The story will go on. It is in fact the current one in production. The behind the scenes does mention he was kicked off though. The troll will be satiated. We're not about to start a flame argument over whether or not an author should be separated from his or her work.
Surely you are going to give them all royalties in he end?
Technically they get a byline. Each story chosen was chosen well over 15 years ago, so their submissions and ad sense would have long expired. The byline is enough. Also, each story is not put up monetized. We can't make profit on them. So they can't either. Think of them as free content creators.
But you guys did a Macross 7 story, so how is that any more obscure than Macross Do You Remember Love?
It is about the same. But when we paid homage to Macross 7 during Shadow Children we also wrote it so that novices would instantly follow the narrative. The story is basically the two dimensions merge to stop the bad guy from doing something mean involving the hero's past. It's a very simple story. Anyone can follow it. Macross DYML is a condensed version of the Macross show, and is thus extremely confusing to anyone who is not familiar with it. Hero's journey again, but there's a lot of intertwined plots, the love triangle, and the rest. It's just not likly any version we'd do would make sense.
Are you the ones who brought Rick Hunter home?
Yep, in the final episode of the Trans Tech series, the SDF Three arrives home out of space time, in 2046, and the universe is well. The Endless Circle is a slightly different universe where events happen a bit changed, as the result of the Yune Timeline. Back then we just assumed surely Yune and the Shadow Chronicles would be eventually finished, but they never were, which is why in 2015 through 2018 you got our version of how those stories would have unfolded, Space Bridge and Shadow Children and Return.
