[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7692531, member: 1"] And additionally - and for me the would be more important than retaining ownership over that particular set of paragraphs - you keep names and other IP elements. If your article describes Droxx't, a new goblin ranger NPC who becomes wildly popular, he's yours, not EN5ider's. EN5ider can publish that particular article, but only you can publish Droxx't's Memoires, the bestselling hardcover. The important thing is you retain the ability to leverage any IP in it. You can even namedrop stuff you've written elsewhere, since you're not giving it away. And you can certainly build on a popular article. You write an article, everybody loves it, you think "hey, I can make a 30-page PDF out of this and sell it!". Or you can just sell your articles yourself on your own website. Though you don't get the art, sadly, as the artist, just like the writer, retains that copyright. That said, you could certainly contact the artist and ask if you can continue to use their piece, or maybe cut a deal with them. I've been quietly pushing for ethical freelancer pay, terms, and so on for years now. I hope that this little thing helps a tiny bit. (I've had a standing policy that any artist who does any art for EN Publishing can freely sell their art as prints - I know Claudio Pozas takes advantage of that, which I think is awesome - for example you can buy the amazing dragon art he did for the cover of TO SLAY A DRAGON directly from him). I like that WotC has started letting their cartographers do that, too, now. [/QUOTE]
