This is why you might see the current project being sometimes refered to as AàV... :) It was originally a play centered around a love story taking place at the court of the French king Louis XIV, and was very much inspired by what the young writer read at the time.

A group of friends quickly agreed to get roped in on the project and togethere, we began planning the sewing and the filming and all the aspects around the project, along with agreeing with who was to play who (the original distribution the writer had planned actually changed a few times, and I might make a post much later about that, when a bit more will be released about the characters) and trying to find more people to play some roles. The actor for the Marquis de la Pêche du Comté, in particular, was very hard to find, and we must have asked almost every one we knew at the time, before remembering one particular friend who we had completely forgotten to ask, and who immediately went full on board ^V^ (props to him, that was real cool). 

In the end, we were very young, and our sewing skills were probably lacking a bit for our ambitious project. This, along with other events, led us to needing years and years to sew a few costumes which eventually kept us from achieving the original project sooner. HOWEVER! We never let the project go and although some of us might have forgotten a bit about it, we knew that we would end up filming or playing it someday.

2 years and a half ago, the writer reread Amour à Versailles and found it so naive and cheesy that she felt like the group just could not play this whole thing, and decided to completely rewrite it and change it into a webserie. With the full support from 3 friends involved in all the different aspects of the project, she wrote the new scenario. The original characters were kept and further developed and a few were added. 

Amour à Versailles became Lilies Stained Red in the Night or La Nuit, les Lys se Tachent de Rouge, a much more dramatic and at the same time, brighter and darker story, no longer centered on a romance but rather on a pretty different plot (that had been but teased in the first version) which I hope, you will find absorbing. It now takes place in an alternate Universe which gives us a bit more creative freedom.

Most people from the original team got back on board, a few more friends kindly agreed to join the project (<3) aaaaaand here we go! :D We are now more mature, independant and skilled (I hope X)) which will allow us, this time around, to get this cool *little* project done! ^V^
