“can mutuals dm you?” my mutuals can fire me from a cannon through a brick wall, looney tunes style. as long as we’re all having fun

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

Orlissa

(i can't believe I have to say this)

Also this is not true. You do in fact have the copyright to the specific writing you did in a fic, because that's not how copyright law works. Like this is not a grey area.

People who write IP content for corporations give up their copyright on a contractual basis--the company wants writing they can sell about characters/settings they own without getting entangled in royalty obligations etc, so they hire people. Who sign contracts saying they don't own what they write as part of that job.

That's why you don't own Star Wars stuff you wrote for Disney; you specifically agreed not to own it.

Writing for IP you don't own leaves you in a position where you can't legally monetize it (without taking out the Owned parts ad rebranding), but it absolutely does not automatically cede or void copyright. That is super not a thing.

SUPER not a thing, I cannot say this enough.

I can't sell my Batman fic, but neither can DC Comics without my duly authorized consent. Because they own Batman, but not the prose I composed about him.

Do not perform that kind of massive corporate overreach for them. Holy shit. Do they not own enough.

[chimaerakitten]

It’s fascinating that this misconception of copyright still exists. Haven’t we all seen the posts on here where authors beg fans to please not send them fanfic of their works? They’re not doing that because they feel like it, they do that because fans legally own their words and ideas, and an author who takes them even unintentionally can in fact end up in real legal trouble for taking something that’s not theirs. It doesn’t matter whether they own the canon.

Challenging myself: for this upcoming Cosmosgate satellite, I’m renouncing the semicolon, my most beloved of punctuation marks.

Why torture myself thus, you ask? (Or not, but I’m going to tell you anyway)

I’m writing in the PoV of Colonel Shindi, and I’ve decided the sentence structure and rhythm should match his clipped tone speech patterns.

This punctuation deprivation is admittedly quite cruel and unusual but then that’s going to be the theme for next season on My Cosmos Is Yours, so we all might as well get used to it sooner rather than later.

[colourmestoked04]

I love the idea of the sections being seasons 😂

“Next episode on cosmos….”

Doctor: I’m so lonely! I wish I had a companion who was immortal too, or at least couldn’t die!

Jack: Hiiiii

Doctor: Not you.

[tozettastone]

you are personally and directly hit by a bus¹ and isekai-ed, via resurrection, into the body of the main character your most recent WIP

reblog and tell me: on a scale of 1–10, how screwed are you right now?

¹ this is, transparently, a plot device, so if you are about to tell me "joke's on you, I never leave my fifteenth floor apartment!" then you may rest assured it will have tremendous comedic value when the bus is launched into the sky and crashes through your apartment wall to flatten you anyway

[technicallywrite]

Screwed in the most delicious way, actually, if you mean the current chapter in progress. Can we please make that happen immediately? I’m very, very keen.

[horsetailcurlers2]

my favorite character archetype is beautiful intimidating sexy woman who is actually a lonely little dork with deep psychic wounds

A tiara is a backward symbol of how women are only valued for their beauty. And now that I'm wearing one, I don't care. I look awesome, and it's super sparkly!

I want to marry a writer.

I want to marry someone who can string simple words together and create a fantasy world.

I want to marry someone who cares so deeply they obsess over a single sentence for hours because they ‘want to capture the character perfectly.’

I want to marry someone who will spend dinner telling me all about where they’re taking their story next with such passionate it illuminates them.

I want to marry someone who will read me their work when I’m struggling to sleep.

I want to marry someone who will appreciate my excessive analysis of chosen points in a story.

I want to marry a writer.

I was doing a doodle and the aesthetic was giving high seas so I made a few adjustments…

An offering to the gods for a future high seas scene 🤔🫶🏻

I’m not doing very well at being in art retirement

[colourmestoked04]

Osgood would look pretty good upon that desk with Captain Stewart between her legs 🤭

[colourmestoked04]

They’re staring into my soul- while looking at each other

Question for A03 writers-

Do you enjoy long comments with thoughts/feelings/analysis? Or do you prefer short simple ones?
