My Derivative Fanworks Policy
Dec. 16th, 2018 12:08 amSo, I decided to make this easier on myself, and use an already existing framework--the Creative Commons licenses. My terms for derivative works of my fanworks are the same as presented in this license:
Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)
If you want to make sure I'm okay with something not explicitly allowed by that license, you will need to ask me first. I'll decide that sort of stuff on a case-by-case basis. But all the stuff allowed by that license is fine for you to do without asking me first.
Since these are fanworks we're talking about, you should keep in mind that copyrights of the original works these are based on still apply, of course.
Also, while I do not require this, I hope you'll point out any derivative works you make to me! I've been delighted by any fic or art based on my work that I've seen thus far, but even if I didn't personally like a work, I wouldn't begrudge an author making it. Because it's impossible to anticipate all possible derivative works that could be created from my own, I will say that such works do not have my automatic endorsement, but I allow them and I might even promo ones that I personally enjoy!
