added an Executive Meddling entry cut from the main page
Added DiffLines:
* ExecutiveMeddling: The comic was originally published by ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'''s Richard Pini. Doran severed the contract after nine issues, citing Pini's interference in the plot, dialogue and choice of cover artist, not to mention allegedly trying to grab all the rights. Apart from one short story, none of the original version has ever been reprinted and probably never will (making it a case of KeepCirculatingTheTapes).

** On the negative side, Doran has totally disavowed the original version of the series from the 1980s (which had art that was entirely in pencil, without any inking at all), and has declined to reprint it, and even ''sent back'' copies of it that were sent to her for restoration. Granted, the redone versions are indeed much better, but anyone who wants to see its original form is out of luck.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Unfortunately, looking for it in bookstores is a ''pain'' because Doran [[VanityPublishing self-published]], and a lot of big-name bookstores won't carry self-published books. However, she wrote why she did this in one of her books and has mentioned she went onto self-publishing because her publisher originally wanted to take ''her'' off the staff for ''ADistantSoil''. Seeing as this was ''her'' work, you can see why.
