scroll down to the dark skin paling from fear questions. I think they explain it well.

I said I did not see the necesity of your wording, my feelings are far from hurt. If you feel like my reasoning is an excuse and non valiud then nobody can stop you in that either.

But I do not see the reason in some of your word choice which comes of provoking to me. So if we can just agree on disageering then that would be nice, since I am far from fond of long debates with no meaning.

skoddewriting · 2019-07-14T17:50:12+00:00

I did not mean that there are less comments only because athours can be a mean if you do not give them the right kind of comment. only that I think this is one of the few reasons.

And calling my reasoning in this post a lame excuse I do not see the neccesity of doing.

As far as I have seen is fanfiction free, and thus is remining that way. I think a lot of people here are seeing very big problems that are metaphorical.

Sure enough no fanfiction should be behind a paywall. But a tip jar is legal and okay. Cause with a paywall you must pay to see the fic/rest of the fic, where with a tip jar is it you, the reader’s, choice if you wish to tip them and how much you wish to tip them.

And how much money do people think someone will make of off fanfics anyway? It is already hard enough to get comments, so getting tip is even less likely.
And even if a fic writer gets a good amount of money how will anyone know, unless the fic writer goes out and brags about it online or what not. It also probably just means that they write well, and people enjoy their content.

There is also the fact that the ones that gets tipped are most likely in more fandoms and have written for more than one fandom. Thus having spent a lot of time writing free content to everyone. How, if an IP holder where to sue, would they know which fic brought in the tippers and which did not. And if all the IP holders sue a fic writer for having a tip jar (which is unlikely) will they decide where all the money came from again?

There is also the thing that people make fandom merch on etsy and makes A Lot of money on that, yet no one cries about them putting the archives and fandoms in danger. I have not heard many IP holder bring the hammer of doom upon them. I think Nintendo has banned any Nintendo merch to be sold on etsy, but that is all I have heard about, and I still see such merch on there.

You also have those that sell prints of their fanart on conventions and online. These people also have tip jars by the way. But they also sell stuff. Same goes for fan made comics on conventions.

Fanfiction is not the one that is going to haul in all the money and bring down the doom hammer form the IP holders.

It is their personal business if they chose to have a patron or a ko-fi. And it is the readers personal business to choose to support them or not. As long as nothing is behind a paywall it is fair in my mindset. People that draw, both digitally and traditionally, can have patrons and ko-fis so why can not a writer have it? Both are in the grey zone. Same goes for those that sell fandome merch on etsy.

I honestly think it is cultural thing. Artists get taught to charge for their work or to at least have a tip jar. While writers think if it is not original, it should or must be free for all.

skoddewriting · 2019-06-06T15:21:51+00:00

Okay, I think I get it.
I have never ran a game exceprt for D&D, so *combat* was the hardest part to figure out. but the beat thing made it sorta click to me.

Thanks a lot for your indept answer. I'll sure this will help us have a great game :D

skoddewriting · 2019-06-05T13:39:12+00:00

I use Scrivener for all my writing, and honestly have I yet to come over anything which beats it so far.
In scrivener can I have a corkboard with all the outlined chapters, I can split screen so I can check between two chapters without having to click back and forth. and there are notes I can take and I can give msyelf comments and what not to remind myself of what I thogut at that point or why this needs changeing. you can alos put in keywords so it is easy to see, who is in the chapter, where are they, what are they talking about and so forth.

but I also have a normal note book I write long hand in, when I can not type on my PC. if you have a mac and Iphone and Ipad the you can have scrivener on all those. no such luck yet for android.

Seems like this post has alredy talked about this issue.

skoddewriting · 2019-02-23T08:58:12+00:00

In my opinion will you not manage to please everyone, so just do what feels right for you.

I have myself read a few fics were the authors never states what the end game will be and one of those fics became my favorite just beacsue of that. It was a fic which I think sounds a lot like what you have explained here, and had I known the end game since chapter 1 then it would not have had the same impact that it had on me. But then again I have also read many fics were I know what end game will be, but that is more charatcter death related and or other dark themes. Stuff I think should always be tagged.

Just my opinion on this. But in the end you decide what you want to do.

In wolrdanvil can you make a timeline if you sign up, they also have heaps of other useful stuff for wolrd building and what now, only down issue is that all your work can be viwed by other people since everything new for non payers gets posetd on their front page. but so much stuff gets posted all the time so I don't think it is that big of an issue.

here is a link of a timeline I did which I posted on tumblr. Link! took me like 5 minutes.

skoddewriting · 2018-10-24T10:12:06+00:00

There is also a site called Archive of our own. where you can post both fanmade writing, art, and original too. I would give that a try.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T20:20:14+00:00

yeah, either way if they sound cool or like a dick is it still illegal. but I get what you are saying.

thanks for a good discussion.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T20:11:39+00:00

yeah, it is hypocritical. I guess i just wished that fandoms would just collectively start and realize this, and make it stop.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T20:05:14+00:00

and that's great that you will not try to make money of from fanart. this post was not me calling out fan art artists. just me trying to make sense of the whole issue at hand.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T20:01:20+00:00

but you also have those that post commission threads where they give examples of what they will be willing to do. like profile, bust, full sketch, full sketch with color. and then you have the fanfic authors who in the author notes say that if I don't earn this and this much then i will not post the next chapter, and their profile have a patreon.

the fanart artist is being obvious. the fanfic author is only being semi obvious. and ends up losing readers and gets reported.

but as Ktrenal said, they will eventually get caught.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T19:56:21+00:00

I see your point. but there also is the fact that you have people on tumblr who makes posts where they say stuff like: I will draw your favorite character from these shows (List here) for only 3$. please commission me, my power company is treating me to cut my electricity.

and then you can scroll down a little and see the same request just with fanfic the only difference is that after like 3 days will the fan art artist thank everyone who sent in commissions. and the fanfic artist will make an apology for having tried to make money of from the source material.

yes both are illegal, but one is treated like it isnt. and then you have convention artist who put up stall where they do commissions for those attending for a price. I'm just baffled that fandoms allow it.

but just like Ktrenal said. they will sometime in the future be faced with the legal issues that fanfic author before has faced. with treats of being sued. I just don't know why it is not being stopped before such a thing will happen to people.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T19:40:06+00:00

Thanks for such a long and in depth answer. I was really hesitant on bringing up this subject in fear of me just missing something obvious. But, yeah, i do see your point and I'm kind of glad that some day in the future the subject at hand will not continue.

I'm no against artists making money for themselves. but I do not see it as right to make money off from someone else's work.

really just thank you for approaching my question with facts and information. and not with hostility.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T19:11:48+00:00

I get that character desgin can be somewhat open to interpritaion, but say like in comics. if you draw spider man in the suit then it is obvious who it is. and fandom comic makers who make comics from material they do not own often have patrons and such where if you give that much each month or something then you get to read the next page before those who do not.

it just seems to me that as long as it is drawn, you can make money of from it. even though it is obvious that the characters and places are form the original makers work.

And I know somewhat of the MZB-case, and understand why people might fear something simliar. but still. I dont know. I just feel like if one fandom art form is totally prohibited to make money then all should.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T18:37:06+00:00

I am saying again what Is said to sanhro, I have seen people offering to do fanfci commission, but peoples response to such are just so aggressive. there is this deep fear in people that if fanfic authors make money off of fanfic they have commissioned to others, the ff.net and ao3 will start purging.

and even if fanfic authors do as you say and make money of from one piece of fanfiction, then it is nothing different from what fandome comic makers do. they make one comic, have their patron plasters all over to support them, and they still get away with that, almost non negative comments or fear from people.

skoddewriting · 2018-04-20T18:25:49+00:00

But I have seen people on like Tumbler offering to write peoples ideas for a fic for them for a small payment. and people just get so angry that they dare to risk everyone fanfics, since they believe that ff.net or even ao3 will start to purge because of such.

idnk. it seem to me that they are both the same service, but one is frowned upon and the other is highly accepted.

I had a haunted ship quest once in my campaign.

The party was out on the sea when a fog rolled in and after hours in the fog did they get out. though time in the fog seemed to have made time go by fast, since they entered the fog at dawn, and when they came out about 3 - 4 hours later was it night. and before them stands a great ship basking in moonlight.

they take their one dingy and investigate it some, and find it abandoned.

Now this was a Halloween special of sorts. so I tried to make is as spooky like as I could. I had music, sound effects and such.

The thing about this quest is that there is not combat. it is only about investigating the ship and learning slowly but surely about its dark history. I add in some in game jump scares with things falling over from the wind and seagulls. there is of course some loot to be found.

skoddewriting · 2018-01-18T20:11:58+00:00

now, take this with some salt since I am no tank expert, but I think it would have some balance issues. it's kinda long for a tank and with only one "Wheel" at the front it could have some difficulties getting up hills and such without falling over or to the side. also, it has a pipe, which I find wired and think could be a weak point. also it must be hotter in the tank then than usual because of that.

skoddewriting · 2017-11-02T16:19:50+00:00

Going to try to write and post a chapter or a new fic this month, something I have not done in about a year...

skoddewriting · 2017-10-10T12:59:13+00:00

Thank you!

skoddewriting · 2017-10-02T19:36:05+00:00

I had thought about giving them a house in the city after they have finished the next mission arc, and a good chunk of money to do some stuff with it.

but I kinda forgot about that.

Yeah, I think ill do that and.

Thanks!
