[QUOTE="Scribe Ineti, post: 236319, member: 5466"] Out of curiosity, I have to ask, DragonDroid... are you or do you aspire to be a professional writer? You mentioned you've sent stories to a couple magazines. If you are indeed looking toward being a published, successful writer, you cannot sit on an idea for 6 years. You mentioned you came up with the setting idea in 1996. It's now 2002 and you haven't done anything with it other than revise it and work on novels (unless there's more to the story you haven't mentioned in this thread). Six years and $0 on this one idea. And now you have the chance, however slim, to make $120,000 or more off that one idea within (my guess) 3-6 months. So what if you sell it and its no longer yours to play with? If you truly are or desire to be a professional writer, ideas are a dime a dozen. Stephen King has had more than one good idea, as have every other writer who has one or more books on the shelves.
