We're leaving you, Lo.

We've decided to part ways with the idea of our Lolita narrative.
Y'know, it was fun while it lasted but there was just too many foreseeable issues we just couldn't see a solution too.
  • The main one being copyright laws, and we mere students quite blatantly can't afford the incredibly costly rights to reproduce Nabokov's novel. We also felt attempting to reproduce the narrative but under a different name would look just exactly like that - some students attempting to reproduce Lolita under a different name, and quite possibly not as well as the first two remakes anyway.
  • We also felt actors was an issue for concern. Finding a convincing thirteen year old female actress who was versatile enough to portray overt flirtatiousness and believable distress and fear would've been hard enough, but finding a forty year old male actor who would be willing to portray a paedophile seemed like an even harder task.
So farewell Lolita.
It's wasn't us, it was actually you.
