He's taking out the non-OGL stuff.This is great! How are you addressing the IP issues?

Hatchling Dragon said:This is fantastic, I've often thought that many of the Story Hours here deserve to see print.
Now, I wonder if it's possible to get certain other DM's to finish thier Story Hours if they were to be published? I think the oldsters here know just who I'm talking about, or have thier own list.

With apologies to Monty Python:
"This is the book Ptolus with 'Ptolus' crossed out and 'Wyre' written in in crayon."
Morrus said:I don't know how many would want to do it - it pays $.02 per word, flat rate, and is accepted as work-for-hire. Requires significant enditing by the author to remove WotC IP issues. Some people who are particularly attached to characters or other material would therefore need to remove and substitute them if they wanted to retain ownership. It gets professionally edited.

Shemeska said:*chuckle* It's not possible for some of us, even assuming there'd be a following enough to make it a valid venture. While most of the major antagonists in mine are my own creations, it'd be impossible to remove it from the backdrop setting because of the history and themes it plays with. Won't make me stop writing it though, even if it's likely going to be at least another two or three years before that little monster is finished.

You have no idea how happy I am to see you say that!BLACKDIRGE said:Isn't it though?
Wait to you see the interior stuff.![]()
Oh, and thanks for the great edit. My prose has never looked better.![]()
EditorBFG said:An author referred to an edit I did early in my career as a "hatchet job" once, and now I'm always paranoid that authors will hate me-- heck, I was half-worried that Morrus hadn't emailed back because he was unhappy with the job I'd done.
EditorBFG said:So, let me thank you back for giving me such a great story to read. I was bowled over by the sheer inventiveness of it, so much so that I have (mostly) forgiven you for killing my favorite character...![]()
EditorBFG said:(As an aside, I am proud to see a fellow Central Valley boy doing such great work, as I see you live in Modesto. I've spent a lot of time in Modesto, working at the Prospect Theater on Scenic. I lived in Manteca almost continuously from age 11 to 28, so if you've lived there more than a couple of years, we were practically neighbors!)
