I think its vitally important that an IP get good representation across the board. I am ashamed to admit that some of my favorite novels have been the tie-in material that J. Robert King wrote for the Magic the Gathering card game (Paticularly the invasion cycle), and you could tell that he really made a story out of what used to be a bunch of cards. On the other hand, I tried to read the Vampire Wars trilogy by Steven Saville: a tie-in to the Warhammer franchise of wargames and roleplaying games. I couldn't even finish the second book before I sent it off to the adoption center (Half Price Books). Quality multi-platform content just seems to be so key in not just adding to a franchise, but also adding quality works to a genre or even to literature itself. <br /><br />I also know that regardless of any knee-jerk recation I may have to tie-in material, novels that are involved in another IP can be of an award winning quality. I never expect a Star Wars or Mass Effect novel to win the Booker prize, but maybe one of those two works could win a Hugo. Come to think of it, on this day in 1926, George Bernard Shaw refused his Nobel Prize for Pygmalion, and 8 years later Pygmalion would go to win an Oscar. He won just about the biggest prizes you could for a literary work and a film adaptation. That would be like Ender's Game winning the Hugo and the Oscar (which based on recent reviews, it seems unlikely that ender's game is getting that honor).<br /><br />That being said, I wonder if Tolkiens version of the LoTR movies would win any awards?

I’m not s...Thanks for the response to the article…<br /><br />I’m not sure money, or mass-marketing appeal needs to have too much of a part to play in the grass-roots shaping of multi-platform content. After all, the advances we are enjoying right now, give content producers, writers, app-builders, developers (the list goes on and on) the ability to pump out a variety of cross-platform content that take may take plenty of time, but only requires the minimum of financial investment.<br /><br />Tolkien himself created his own multi-faceted universe using just time and ingenuity, and whilst today is very different, it is the quest for ideas that we are interested in. Plenty of people may be concerned with the commercial potential of multi-platform, with multi-film deals, the double soundtrack, T-shirt and lunchbox deal. However, new content of this nature simply needs to be well done, with a great message, and be something that the author (or producer) can be proud of. Anything else doesn’t matter. Producing something good is good enough.<br /><br />And with regards to Tolkien and technology, many forget that it was (an already incredibly rich) Tolkien himself who paved the way for adaptations of his work on the leading technological platforms of his day by selling the rights to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings to United Artists in the late 60s.<br /><br />I also like to think he’d be an Android man.<br />Kathryn & Nickhttp://www.kathrynandnick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046069122215713180.post-62606348349327825922013-09-06T21:53:18.270-05:002013-09-06T21:53:18.270-05:00Hey!
