If you are even toying with the idea of this, you probably should read this article.
This is not so cool and I think a lot of fanficion writers will take it in the teeth if they go this route.

Thanks to Grey853 for forwarding this to me.

Um, your link to the article brought me to Van Gogh's "Terrace" instead. Could you check the link please?

Sorry, fixed now... That's crazy...

thanks will read it.

The ones I worry about are the people who think it can't happen to them and then they discover all their rights are gone and they don't even own their OC anymore. That's harsh.

Ouch what a sad state that this might happen--hopefully not for MFU

[spikesgirl58]

We can only hope!

The idea of paid fanfiction was so beautifully intriguing--should have known there'd be a catch (or rather, catch-es) somewhere. :L

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. I had already decided this had bad vibes. this only confirmed it.

I don't mean to try myself, and I'm still grateful to you for keeping us informed. Someone might have a lot more reason to be grateful.

I'm hoping I can keep just one person from making what looks to be a huge mistake. I couldn't imagine losing my right to write my own characters or situations.
