I figured it was time for an "official" thread regarding the forthcoming audio dramas of my first Aliens fanfiction, "Boreal Nightmare." (Link to original story:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12849606/1/Boreal-Nightmare)
To be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to announce it because there are, in fact, two being produced. One is helmed by Project: Acheron, who offered it after I won the Alien Day fanfiction contest. The second is helmed by Anarchist86ed, who's running the Alien: Solara series. They're not the exact same thing, as Anarchist86ed decided to change the names of the characters in the script, and has added several details and elements that have made it a lot more different than the original. Acheron's is the "loyal" version, keeping the names the same (the story features characters from the movie).
I'm not spoiling anything in regards to Anarchist86ed's version ("Iceworld"), but the part one script was ten times better than the original two chapters of "Boreal Nightmare" and I think you'll enjoy it just as much as the version that is keeping closer to the original.
Also, Acheron offered to get James Paxton on board. I'll keep people updated on whether he says yes or no.
I do apologize that there are two productions based on the same story. I just couldn't bring myself, emotionally, to say "no" to either, because, at the time, Anarchist86ed had already started the script and I didn't want to waste his hard work, especially after seeing the finished script. I haven't seen the "loyal" script yet, as I've been told some changes were made to help it flow better in this medium.
Regardless, I'll leave it up to the Alien community which they prefer when both versions are released. I'm just glad people have enjoyed my work so much, they want to spread it via audio drama.
