"Coming Out of the Closet" was a fan-made SpongeBob episode in production by several members of The SpongeBob Community and SpongeBuddy Mania. It was discontinued as of 2017.


Production

The episode's origins trace back to November 2015 when Teamwork expressed interest in creating a SpongeBob fan episode in a (now deleted) thread, thanks to The Great Wiping of 2015. After a week or so, Aquatic Nuggets private-messaged Teamwork, wanting to assist on the episode. The two wrote up a few outlines for potential episode ideas, and the one they settled on was "Patrick's Closet." By December 2015, the script was being written and preliminary model sheets had been drawn. On January 22, 2016, the episode was pushed back indefinitely. It was originally expected to be released sometime within 2016. On May 23, 2016 the episode was put back into development. On June 4th, 2016, Lego Spongy was hired as a voice actor and on June 7th, 2016, Slorps101<ref>http://twitter.com/Slorps101</ref> was hired as an additional storyboard artist on the project. On July 10th, 2016, Aquatic Nuggets was promoted to co-director, since he has had an administrative role over the episode and has overseen everything thus far. On July 12th, 2016, Stolen Maggie Daddies was hired as a storyboard artist. On July 23rd, 2016, well-known Youtube Pooper and animator Cartoonlover98 was confirmed to be involved in some capacity.

The episode will be frame-by-frame animated using Adobe Flash (meaning using the principles of traditional animation, ie. entirely frame by frame)

Backgrounds will be painted either digitally using Clip Studio Paint or traditionally.

Trivia

  • The original ending for the episode featured riddles. This was changed in subsequent drafts to allow for a more natural ending.
  • A segment of the episode featured Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in the initial draft. This sequence was removed in later drafts for time, and because it may be considered insensitive to do an impression of Ernest Borgnine.
