Lost Hedgehog Tales

So what's the deal with this? Finally finished reading the Archie Sonic series and have heard about Flynn teasing this book of scrapped content for years now.
Is he waiting until his retirement or the death of Penders to release it?

Ian wanted to post his ideas for Archie pre-reboot online. He realized shortly into writing this up that he would be ruining future storyline by doing this since he recycles dumped work constantly, plus Archie as a company probably wouldn't be terribly cool with that and he hates burning bridges.

So now it's an eternal carrot on a stick.

Its something Ian keeps using to give false hope to his fans.

>Archie as a company probably wouldn't be terribly cool with that and he hates burning bridges.

This sounds like Ian's bullshit excuse to not release this thing. Archie doesnt care about this comic anymore

I think it was either sega or penders actually. I don't know if sega would be particularly cool with an official writer giving out unreleased shit from their comic, but then again sega is notoriously lazy so whatever
Ian should just release it. I've been waiting for 9 goddamn years at this point.

Whats stopping him from saying those unreleased stories are fanfictions to bypass this ?

He's work for hire, if he doesn't do what they want they'll just never hire him for any future work. Also, the industry's pretty small, so getting blacklisted from one company means you're blacklisted from the entire industry.

Ian's very vague about what's stopping him but he's not doing it any time soon it seems. Maybe if he completely stops writing Sonic comics he'll do it.

Could just do what the Half Life writer did and change the names of characters and certain details to make it legally distinct enough to fly under the radar. But really, I think he's just reusing stuff from it like the above user mentioned.

That's my guess too. When he's retired from Sonic stuff, and there's no chance he can do something with those plots he'll release it. He's only turning 40 this year, so he'll probably be involved with Sonic for a while (unless Frontiers absolutely bombs and people blame it on his writing).
That, or have "someone" "leak" it.
