Do you think....

maybe, if we took a massive vote on it, we could get Joe Dever and John Grant to let Project Aon's publishers add the Legends of Lone Wolf to the site? I'd definetly vote Yes. Your thoughts? I mean, I know half o' you don't like the Legends, but some of us do. The first two books are the only ones I have at the mo, and they're the US versions. I still dig 'em though.

Grant wouldn't go for it. And Dever really doesn't have any say in it.

What's odd about it is that Grant claims he wasn't making any money out of selling the PDFs of the Legends series; the money was apparently all used administratively. Therefore, in theory there's no problem with him allowing PA distribution rights since we could take over all issues on hosting, bandwidth, distribution etc., but I somehow don't think he'd go for it, since we are, after all, essentially an amateur collective rather than a "trustworthy" publishing company/organisation. As much as I dislike many aspects of the Legends series, it would be an absolute coup if we could get distribution rights from the author.

Perhaps we should also expand into other areas; does anyone have access to the Lone Wolf computer games? Maybe we should try contacting the publishing companies to see if we can legally host those as well. We'd obviously need scans of the packaging and rules as well as the data. Perhaps if we can get rights to most or every other Lone Wolf-related product, maybe we could have some sway with Grant.

And does anyone own any of those Lone Wolf statuettes/miniatures? We'd be interested in photographs of those too. And what about recordings of Joe from his TV/radio appearances--we'd like those as well. Magazine articles about Joe/Lone Wolf are also of interest to us.

Good deal Outspaced. I could ask Paul if we could print the Legends series. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
