Line 59:

* An animated ''[[Elf Quest]]'' movie has been "coming soon" since the mid eighties. Though much of the (albeit scarce) pre-production art looks great, it's still never gotten further than that and will likely never be produced.
** Supposedly, the primary stumbling block is that [[Executive Meddling|studio executives kept trying to persuade the creators]] to [[Race Lift|make all the dark-skinned elves whiter]], and then losing interest when the creators refused to even entertain the possibility. [[Society Marches On|In this day and age]] that probably isn't such a huge issue, so there is still some faint hope.
Line 76:
* Issue #8 of [[Marvel Comics]]' ''[[The Twelve]]'', a 12-issue limited series, came out in January 2009. Issue #9 came out over three years later, in February 2012.
* This has happened in the industry for a while. ''[[Camelot 3000]]'', a series from DC Comics in the early 1980s. A 12-issue monthly series, the first issue came out in December 1982 and the last one in April 1985.

* The ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfic ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/264446/1/Hearts-of-Ice Hearts of Ice]'' by Krista Perry Fisk. An epic in both size and subject matter, ''Hearts of Ice'' first appeared in 1997, and over the next two years, Fisk (then unmarried and writing under her maiden name of Perry) turned out some 25 chapters of exceptionally high-quality story, with the 25th -- the penultimate chapter -- ending on a heartbreaking [[Cliff Hanger]]. And then ''stopped writing for ten years''. She finally completed it in 2009, but not before it gained the nickname "The Great Unfinished Symphony of ''Ranma'' Fanfic".
