How do you avoid legal issues with authors if you’re writing a fan fiction story on a website?

January 28, 2010 - 4:28 pm 5 Comments

Like, if you write a story using characters from a published book on a website such as FanFiction.net, how can you avoid legal issues?
What can you do?
I mean if you’re using the characters from a book or movie.

Disclaimers.
They can be something as simple as ‘I don’t own so-and so; don’t sue’ to huge, five-line monstrosities. You see them all the time on places like fanfiction.net, and even on sites that aren’t fanfic specific (storywrite.com, for example, which is primarily original work), you’ll have the occasional person’s fanfic written where they state that the characters, plot, whatever don’t belong to them.
Just make sure to state clearly that whatever you don’t own doesn’t belong to you, and for a good measure, add the original author’s name and the title of the series/story that you ripped off of. On certain sites, they may inform you that a certain author does not want fanfictions made of their story, so just watch out for those. Other than that, you should be in the clear.

Anime fan’s what do you think of this?

January 28, 2010 - 4:28 pm 4 Comments

well, I know this seemes stupid but really I need opinons about this. I am actually writing plotlines for this anime site(hasn’t ben created yet didn’t get to a computer in a while) and I just feel its not quite right. the setting is in a distant future that’s not what anyone would exspect, in fact it seemes in the past, but all devices made from a certain time(hadn’t made my mind about the date of the disaster) are in the ruens(some of them are used,but usually in an emergancy). I’m not following one main character, it might be 6 to 12(too much? I really want to explore the vew points of them, don’t coment this unles u have a good point in it). I don’t want to name the disaster because people can make their own gess of it and no confict is involved. The date I chose for the opening is 2067, but I think it’s too early. The two character I open with are Diana, a lowclass(poor to middle class) 13 year old girl who works in the fealds and has amazing strength.
sorry I was running out of space. The other character, a 14 year old named Able(I plan to make it for short once I think of a name), is a royal prince in China who is, well, he hates anyone who thinks ill of him(he is upset because he is believed to be a mistake that should have died at first chance what supports this is the fact someone was payed off to kill him by inferno whict has failed but left scars on his arms and back).
well, let me clear a few things. one this isn’t like ghost in the shell, like I said it is NOT futureistic, it was more based in a past sence because of the disaster. it really is suppost to seam like Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, and other anime and magna like those. well, another thing I didn’t mention, both characters I have discribed are out of the ordinary. oh and what I ment about inferno, a person whom can make fire baced killings seam like an accident, how it fails? you’ll find out.

Ok, first let meb e a critic. Your story’s really cool and it does have anice view, my point of view. I like it but, 2067? And you said it’s too early? Unless the big world disaster happens in 2020, that date is far too far. I like Diana’s character and she sounds fierce and so’s tha Chinese prince.Fire meets fire (if that’s what you’re thinking of, of course), that’ll be good. Just one thing, I know you don’t want anyone criticising on the 6 to 12 m.characters but, I really have to say something about that. Would you really remamber thair names and characteristics? I mean, you can write them out somewhere but that’ll be alot of work and people don’t like having too many things to do at onetime. Think about it.
I think that’s about it. There’s more actually but I really have other things to do but your question was just too deceiving and I jus HAD to have a peek. Anyway, bye.

I am a moderator on a new Harry Potter role play site set at the end of the epilogue of book 7. We are looking to increase the number of members that we have – and there are loads of canon characters still available – or you could just make your own up!! This is the perfect opportunity to make up what you think may have happened after the books finished – a must for all Harry Potter fans!
Come have a look at the board and after you sign up and have been validated more of the board will open up and you can begin posting!

Where is the best place to make a FREE fansite?

January 26, 2010 - 12:14 pm 2 Comments

I was searching the internet for some places to create a free fansite. And I found the fan-site.org place. But I was wondering how do I get to make the site. I applied but I’m not sure if they’ll respond. So if that fails….does anyone know I a site just as good?
I’m also wondering where to get a free domain. And what is HTML/CSS?
So what does HTML/CSS mean? LOL.
And if anyone has an up and running fansite, could you give me the link. I won’t copy anything, I just want to see how it looks.
Thanks:)

If you know HTML/CSS and a little FTP then you’re good and have options. If you don’t know HTML and stuff then you’re limited. Assuming you know HTML, it also depends on the size your planning on making your fansite. If you plan on making it large then you’ll need more than 20 MB of space or whatever. A few places I’ve tried and heard of for making sites that are good are these:
AwardSpace-200 MB of diskspace, 5G monthly traffic and more. All free and ad free if I’m remembering right.

ExtrovertHost.com-2 GB of diskspace and more bandwidth but forces you to put up a banner.

Tyreus-500 MB of diskspace but foruming posting is required. Ad-free.

HostUltra-Unlimited bandwith and disk space. There’s a free hosting package on the site. As well as others you can pay for if you want.

So give these a try and see if this is of any help. I hope it is and have fun building the fansite!!

~EDIT~: HTML and CSS are two things you’ll need to build a site.Its like a computer language and will help you create a good website. I’m awful at explaining it but go to:
www.lissaexplains.com
Its a site that teaches HTML for kids, but adults can use it too. Its easy to understand and covers everything. I used it when I was learning HTML. It was confusing at first but I kept practicing and didn’t give up. Now its all worth it, I’m still learning HTML to this day but now I can make my site cool and add all sorts of stuff w/o using a template. You get more freedom using HTML/CSS.

I’d show you my fansite but right now its under construction and will be moving to my domain and hasn’t been updated in a few months. Ohh yeah and you also asked about a domain. A few months ago I bought a domain from HostGator. They offer hosting there too. I love HostGator b/c the people are generally helpful and friendly, they hardly ever experience down time and when they do everything is back up in about 5 minutes and I was able to use a coupon code online that took off about 10 dollars off my total purchase. So go look at HostGator and look at the plans they have. I have the Baby Croc package and couldn’t be happier. You can upgrade at any time too I think.HostGator also has a pagebuilder that comes w/ it too.

Harry Potter sites in England?

January 26, 2010 - 12:14 pm 1 Comment

Going to England (Cotswolds) with family in a week. Would like to take 13 yr. old daughter (big Potter fan) to see any sites where movies were filmed. Any advise on where there are?

You can probably see quite a few locations from the Cotswolds:

Australia House, The Strand, London (Gringott’s Bank)
Alnwick Castle, Northumberland (Hogwarts, outside scenes)
Bodleian Library, Oxford (Hogwarts interiors)
Martins Heron, Berkshire (Privet Drive)
Christ Church, Oxford (Hogwarts interiors)
Durham Cathedral (Hogwarts interiors)
Gloucester Cathedral (Hogwarts corridors)
Goathland railway station, Yorkshire (Hogsmeade Station)
Kings Cross Station, London (Kings Cross interior)
Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire (Hogwarts interiors)
Leadenhall Market, London (Diagon Alley)
London Zoo (Reptile House)
St Pancras railway station, London (Kings Cross exterior)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_in_the_Harry_Potter_books#Locations_used_in_the_Harry_Potter_films

If you google. there are a lot of tours that will take you to the places in the stories; from the Cotswolds, I’d say the nearest are Oxford and Gloucester. Also, have a look at the Harry Potter sites for locations:
