This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I would so love to see a not-for-kids animated version, as I feel that 
animation is almost the only way to convey the feel of a story like 
this (similar to how I feel about the rumored Neil Gaiman Sandman film- 
think Miazaki!). Did anyone see the TV miniseries of Ghormenghast? That 
was a wonderful (and fairly long) telling of the first 2 books of the 
cycle. I don't think Mervyn Peake was all that great a writer, those 
books were all about conveying loads of tone and atmosphere, and I 
thought the movie did it pretty well. Maybe a TV miniseries would be 
the best way to convey Sev's story, as layered and atmospheric as it 
is. I don't think there's a big enough fan base to support a cinematic 
film, but I'd never heard of Bridge to Tarabethia before, either, so 
who knows?
