The Site > Site Suggestions & Support
a fanwork section?
Priscellie:
The policies are different for every fandom, but it more or less boils down to what Rages said. Though according to the old McAnally's rules (are they still online anywhere? The Wayback Machine is being buggy), I don't think it would be an issue putting your fic on a personal site as long as you don't advertise it anywhere Jim frequents.
Mods, please correct me if I'm wrong in my assumptions. After all, when you make an assumption, you could make an ass out of yourself, and the "ump" will "shun" you. :D
Sway:
I guess I can live with that. I doubt that he'll frequent his own fansite ;)
And if I'm asked to take my stuff down, so be it. I don't wanna get sued ;)
Thanks for letting me know, though. :D
iago:
Yeah, the fanfiction stuff is pretty simple: if Jim knows about it, he has to do something about it. He's legally responsible to do something about it, because to fail to do that, would mean that he's giving up what is, essentially, his trademark, to stuff that he's created. He can't fail to do that. So on anything we know Jim to frequent, he can't be exposed to it.
Sway:
Yeah, I get that.
Apparently, it's different for each fandom. Not the legality-part but what I've heard just now is that e.g. Joss Whedon encourages fanfiction.
But hey.. I kinda understand that though I wasn't aware of it to that extend. As I said.. I'll do it quite-like and when I'm asked to take it down, I will. There are only a few people who will visit me in prison if I get sued ;)

Which brings up an interesting question about the MUSH being created off his works. Hrm. *
*An honest Hrm. No implied snarkiness.
