Hi I was just woundering if there is anything you can do to get Broken Sky made into an animi series, I know everyone that has read your work would love it. If anyone else wants to comment please do.

'Fraid there's really nothing I can do. An anime series is a huge investment of money & effort etc, and since Japan is still the primary market it really has to be in Japanese. Unless some uber awesome anime-type producer picks it up, reads it and decides it'd be the best thing ever, there's really zero chance.

Well, Miyazaki somehow found Howl's Moving Castle. There's hope. There is hope.

Wasn't there talk about a series based on the BSky books before? What happened to that?

Lisajane: I meant that I couldn't do anything to help it along (ie write a script or something) since I don't know Japanese.
Wyssis: Nelvana were gonna make a cartoon series. They got it to the stage of making trailers which looked uber awesome, but then it died cos no network picked it up. Boo!

Who owns the rights to those trailers? is there any chance we could get to see them?

I've personally wished for years that the folks behind Avatar: The Last Airbender would take a crack at Broken Sky. Preferably with a more open-minded sponsor than Nickelodeon, considering all the heavy themes brought up by Broken Sky; but they still managed to work all sorts of toothy themes into AtLA despite the network censors, and the second and third seasons were nothing short of epic.
Definitely up their alley. I wonder how possible it would be to slip a copy of The Twilight War into Mike and Bryan's offices somehow...?

I wouldn't mind seeing the trailers knowing there's nothing more after it. Better than nothing.
Though it annoyed me one day when I tuned into some kid's program that looked suspiciously like Broken Sky... at least, there were characters that looked awfully smiliar to Kia, Gerdi, Macaan and Aurin. I couldn't tell what was actually happening because there was no sound, but then some cards came out in some battle with little creatures that looked like Pokemon, and I figured it wasn't Broken Sky after all (unless there was some major plot I've missed).

Were the trailers ever shown on TV anywhere? One of my friends from Secondary School once mentioned having seen a trailer for a BSky cartoon, but she was a habitual liar so I didn't take her very seriously (honestly, this girl lied through her teeth if she thought it would get her attention). Might she have been telling the truth for once?

Nah. She was lying.

Figures. Weird coincidence though.
