Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 5459047" data-attributes="member: 277">Yes she  has okayed fan fiction on web sites which got her approval to post fan fiction. I don't remember if the sites ask first. Or once it was brought to her attention she gave it her okay. But if I remember correctly the sites were not for profit. Basically a fan boy paying for the site out of his pocket and no money being made off the site. The mods and owners of ENworld can correct me if I wrong.This is commerical site. Or lawyers may thing so. Since subscriptions and products are be sold directly from this site. And go to maintaining and paying employees of the site.I am very senstive to this since, I have to deal with my wife's grumbling any time she finds her works in another print or electronic magazine. Especially on works which she was paid for, still holds the copyright to the work, and we had travel expensives to go to live reading.SOP is an email/snail mail to the place and a copy to  her files. Telling the person/magazine they been naughty, please don't do again, and please the standard price (which she knows but I don't) for her work. Now most the time it was an honest or lazy mistake. And occasionaly I have seen a check to her for $2.67.  But most of the time no money.Now $2 is not a lot but by having a document trail. WHEN she gets famous this will prevent the Dirty Dog Publishing from claimng her poem "jasper is idiot on Enworld" is open source (not the right words). Just because they only found a copy buried on Xbox Live forums under Gamer Parents folder. When she only published in E-Book, under the title of "My Husband the Idiot".I am also slightly senstive to my works on line. Years ago I think I posted a thread here on the Criminal Santa Clause which listed a list of crimes to charge him with.  Due upgrading pcs, and bad disk lost my copy. Found on a web site in England dated 4 years after I posted.  Good thing I got a copy. But the bad thing could have been if Enworld had paid me $10 with split   50/50 copyright and then Dirty Dog Publishing created a kiddy book out of it.  And that book became a best seller like Polar Express. Then was turn into an Oscar winning movie which replaced Avatar as all time grossing blockbuster. Both Enworld and I would be out hundreds of millions in royalties.</blockquote>
