Missing Forum - DW I

[Wiregeek]

However Mrs. Lackey (or at least her lawyers) is
"Anal Retentive" about the Copyright to the World in Question.

You malign Mrs. Lackey, sir!

well, tongue firmly in cheek there, but she has instituted a new policy
which means all-green for DW1...

News: Concerning Fanfiction:

As you folks already know, my agent, Russel Galen, has in the past been
opposed to fanfiction. However, he is also Cory Doctorow's agent now,
and Cory is a persuasive little gnome.

As a result of this, I am happy to announce that we are officially
permitting fanfiction to be licensed as derivative fiction under the
Creative Commons umbrella.

What this means is: NO, you cannot make money on it. NO, you cannot
self-publish a fanfiction novel of Valdemar (or any of my other stuff)
and try and sell it on Amazon. And NO, I still am not going to read it,
because I am already so far behind on my research reading I barely have
time to read that.

But YES, you may write and post away, folks, so long as you license it
as derivative and under Creative Commons. If it is anything other than
PG-13, please take all the proper precautions to stick it somewhere that
innocent souls won't be corrupted. Do not scare the children or the
horses. Have fun!

yay, I'm glad she is coming to her senses about this (or it sounds like her legal council/agent is coming to their senses).

WG, this is old news, on the order of several months, and has already been mentioned here. I've been meaning to update the FAQ and a few other documents accordingly for a long time now, and have just kept procrastinating.

I will tell everyone now, btw, that Helen Imre and I have been discussing how to open DW1, since I hijacked the prologue I originally wrote for it and used it on DW2.

Do not scare the children or the
horses

Can I scare the Companions?

Actually, WG... in reviewing that older thread after posting in this one, I noticed that you had actually participated in it...

Only if they're fully-grown.

I think the Doctor might have something to say about you doing that.

Oh, there's a Crossover That Should (or Should Not, depending) Be -- The Doctor and his Companion. His large, white, horse-shaped Companion.

Especially when you consider the shenanigans which would have to go on (from one side of the divide or the other) in order for them to even meet up in the first place...
