#don’t !

I would also add that JMS had to trash at least two B5 scripts back in the day when he was participating on Compuserve, and only after a concerted effort and a *lot* of legal paperwork was *one* of them able to see the light of day. Just do not do this please! Fanfic writers can and do prompts b/c we aren't profiting from the work; the minute profit comes in the whole game changes. Respect that!

We’ve been over this before

Folks, please pay attention to this.

Do not send me (in my inbox, or via message, or anywhere else) suggestions for things you’d like me to write. No matter how vague and nonspecific you think they are. By doing so, you are guaranteeing that they will never happen.

Such suggestions, even in the inbox, leave an electronic “paper trail” that the platform is required to preserve. People bent on making legal trouble for a writer can subpoena a platform for such data as proof that you got your idea from somebody else (like them) even if you genuinely previously came up with it by yourself.

“Oh, come on, who’d do a thing like that, what are the odds…?” people will say. But it’s not generally known that I’ve already been involved in a high-stakes lawsuit in which someone tried to sue Mattel over material I wrote when developing the initial form of the “Barbie: Fairytopia” universe (and the first Fairytopia film) for them. I’d never so much as met or communicated with the person suing them, had never read even a word of their work… but they still went to great trouble and expense attempting to prove that I’d had access to their material and used it without permission. 

Mattel won the suit—as I’d frankly been expecting: the attorney handling their defense was one of the most expert IP lawyers in the US. But it gave me the chills… and made it clear how very wrong things could go, and the kind of damage that could be done to my career and my personal life, if I even accidentally used ideas from unauthorized sources. 

Seriously, folks. I know you mean well! But please don’t make me tap the sign. 

I already have a list of things that can never happen. It’s already too damn long. Don’t make it longer.

DO NOT SEND ME STORY IDEAS (or “prompts” or anything of the kind) no matter how general or conjectural or unformed they may seem to you. To do so is to guarantee that they will never, ever happen. 

And in my own universes, your innocently-meant suggestion could mean that neither you or anyone else will ever see that particular Young Wizards or Middle Kingdoms plot, no matter how much you’d like to… because I take this stuff seriously.

Okay?

Thanks.

Okay yes we know that Andrew sprinted, dashed, HURTLED even, when he saw Neil on his knees even after blocking 150 + attempts on his goal because he loves that man. But also-

It had been Andrew’s idea to put Neil against Riko in the first place.

For Andrew it was reach Riko or die. (Die knowing that his contributing to exy ended Neil’s life.)

So I’ve been reading this bkdk slow burn fic for the last several years and the author is finally- fucking finally finishing it next month and i just had the wildest thought. There’s no way it’ll happen…but..what if they all of a sudden do a 180 after ten fuckin years of build up and angst and sacrifice and love and compassion and understanding and growth and then just randomly make deku kiss the bubblegum pop masc lesbian instead of his literal fucking soulmate lol.

It wouldn’t happen..but like could you imagine?

The only thing I love more than posts from my favorite blogs, are little personal posts from my favorite blogs.

Like yes thank you for telling me you just made yourself some cookies and are now watching your favorite movie from the 80’s. I love hearing about the weird conversation you just had with your cousin. I love hearing that you’re in your pajamas and drinking tea while scrolling tumblr.

It just brings me so much joy, it’s so fun.
