SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Well that's the cool thing, I wouldn't want/need money. I just need people to help. Spreading the word, helping with ideas, voicing and even some admin stuff. I have a lot to do and I wanted to begin the process or recruiting and team building starting Jan 1st 2015. The goal would be to begin production in June of 2015.

Yes. That sounds like a brilliant idea. I would love to see that.

We need all of the help that we can get, but with a strong and dedicated team that will see it through.

In any case, if you truly have what it takes to assemble a cast willing to perform, and actually do this thing, i'd be interested in seeing how your project turns out. I'd offer to help out, but i wouldn't know how.

I am currently working on getting people assembled, that's a work in progress. Are you a good typer and analyzer? Do you like writing invites or scripts? If any of that falls within your talent or you want to take a stab at it please let me know. You can PM or reply on this forum here. At this point and time I am doing everything myself which is a tad bit overwhelming considering how much work is required.

I'm pretty sure there's already something like this underway, but i don't mean to discourage you or anything.

There are two that I can think of, however if I remember correctly one group/project is turning the book into a radio based/type series, the other was one person who did all of the voices. When I listened radio project I enjoyed it, however it sort of requires you to have read the book in order to understand what's actually happening. Agian, that was how it was for me. A great example was *SPOILER* when the two female riaders had killed the slavers who had Littlepip and Monterey Jack. One of the raiders gave Littlepip a good smack down. The issue I had was that there was a lot of sound but there wasn't an understanding of the extent of beat down. If I hadn't read the book I might have wondered how the heck Pip was able to get back up and kick the shotgun away.

That's my only thing, radio plays have a very limited ability at times and rely heavily on sound to help convey what's happening. Sadly the art of radio drama basically/almost died. A very good radio series was Boston Blackie and The Lone Ranger. The way they infused what was going on in fight scenes with the use of sounds helped the listener know what was happening. For example, Bang boom pow, "Now now you should know better then to hit a guy who pretends to be knocked down only to land two knock out blows to the face." Or whump "That crack to the head should keep him out long enough for the cops to find him at the scene of the crime." See that gives helpful information as well as a little insight as to what the heck just happened and not a bunch of sounds and no clue what just happened.

I tend to over think things and sometimes it's hard to shake a preconcieved notion. I do wish them the absolute best of luck and I want to see what they come up with next. The goal for this project would be to get the best of both worlds. virtually word for reading with some added sound effects at certain points. I wouldn't try to make sound effect for every single thing that goes on, and the scenes where their is a gun battle raging will need some additional considerations. Like I said it's still in the concept phase and it's only me coming up with things and I haven't had the fortune to have other people give me feedback on it. 

By the way thanks for the support!

Hi all,

So like the title sort of implies. Do you think the story/fiction Fallout: Equestria should be turned into an audio book version? I'm not talking about taking it an adapting it or changing it, just simply getting a huge cast and production team together to voice all of the characters that show up throughout the book.

The reason why I ask this is because I am thinking about doing such a project. As a matter of fact I am in the process of looking into doing something like that, however I am greatly concerned and worried that it will get a less then stellar reception. Not to mention the fact that I would need a lot of people working with me in order to just help get the basics and ground work laid out before a whole lot of progress could be made.

So what do you think? Would you be willing to give it a chance if the quality was good? Does this even sound like something worth pursuing?

If anyone would be interested in this project or wanted to get involved please let me know and I will be more then happy to talk to you about it. Again this is in the concept stage, and I would really like to know if anyone would like to see something like that happen.

Have a great day and I cannot wait to see what you think. To steal a quote from CannedCream, "Stay pony my friends!"

I must agree with the masses on this one. When I first became a Brony my friend who had been a Brony(and got me introduced/hooked on the the show) for a long time told me that I had to read Fallout: Equestria because it was one of the best fan written stories he had ever read.

I looked at the length and I thought he had lost his ever loving mind! I hymed and hawed for a long time until about two weeks ago when I finally bit the bullet and started reading the story. I got a little lucky though, I found a halfway decent reading of first 25 chapters of the book on youtube and began listening to the story and following along with the written text. The first night I did that I spent 16 hours listening/reading and managed a meager 2 hours of sleep before work! I then spent the next week reading like a crazy person! I was on an adrenaline high the entire time I was reading it because it was just so intense. You really get into the characters and you will find that you associate with one character or another the most.

I won't ruin the story for anyone who hasn't read it all but let me just say.....Red Eye is probably by far the most well written villain I have come across to date. Why? He never makes a mistake and has it almost perfectly planned out, his only folly is underestimating his opponent and even that was by the narrowest of margins.

I will also mention that the story is in need of a well directed multi-layered cast to turn it into an audio book so that people who want to read it but just don'e have the ability to commit that much time can just listen to the story. Currently I have yet to find something like this and I have decided(against my better judgment) to take on said project. Just because the story is so awesome and their are so many people who would enjoy it!
