Paramount DMCAs the Wolf 359 Project

*sigh*

Pity that The Money really doesn't listen that much to the fan base, they'd make a lot more money. Instead, they pull stuff like this and close down projects that they didn't explicitly authorize that cost them nothing and make fans happy.

I'm entirely unsurprised at how much the people in the C-suite ignore or decide against ideas that would make them a significant amount of money because they don't actually like their fans or care about them more than whether or not they're spending money.

Someone has saved Wolf 359 and is taking it to somewhere that Paramount won't be easily able to see it, and they'll keep working on it until it's time to release. It'll probably end up on AO3.

It already has done. Apparently, the screencaps are going to be replaced with original art as well.

Bully for them, to release it and to give it new art.

Nice!
