*nods* She has (gotten his blessing).  I was just curious as to the legal ramifications. I know Zelazny and Brust gave permissions for the MUSHes based off their works, but I also know lawyers  came in and harrassed Amber's wizards regarding the use of another author's characters in Amber*, so I was curious.

*For those of you who don't know Amber, it's a universe in which anything exists in infinate shadows (aka dimensions), so the works of other authors would exist out there somewhere. On AmberMUSH (a real-time text-based online rpg), some players brought other characters from other authors into the game. One author's lawyers took exception to this.

As avatars, I've noticed Jim & Fred actually look alot alike. Hrm.

I've also noticed that in avatar form (ie, cropped), Jim looks like a Phil Pfoglio character.

Why do no authors come to maine? Jim has to come to Maine.

They've read too much Stephen King or HP Lovecraft, and are afraid of Mainers.
