...evil, evil woman.

Did you see the "intense peer pressure" part?? ;)

[chasingangela]

Oh, I know! I'm not saying you're the *only* evil one.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

OH my god. OH MY GOD. ... OMG! *general flailing of the happy variety*

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

I take it you approve ;)

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

and I repeat, OH MY GOD.

You are a very wicked woman. Very.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Hey, I had a lot of help!

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

*eyes you* Yeah. But you didn't need it. Wicked, I say.

Now I just have to write that piece, don't I? Sigh.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Yep ;)

We don't get enough cracktastic goodness with the other 10 or 11 comms, y'know ;)

I've got a post-Death Star escape scene rattling around, I need to see if there's a real story in it.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you did this. I have like 8 other fic comms to post to mostly due to your evil influence! :P I am going to assume that this functions well outside the game, but to clarify, is it cool to write "whatever we want" for this? I mean, if I want to write something based on characters I don't play in a completely AU way, for example, but based on their FH characters and not just base canon, is that kosher? That's an extreme example, but my mind is particularly twisted.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

It's a good question.

I'd guess, that if you're going to base it on FH canon & character interpretation, you'd better get those character's writer's okay. This is a *guess*, and I'm hoping the other five suckers mods will weigh in on this.

Which isn't to say you can't write it, but, we'd probably ask that you not post it here.

Veronica? Angelus? Zero? Liz? Weigh in with your considerations, por favor.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I'm torn.

Because in some ways I think you should need approval and some I think maybe not.

I didn't really think about it... I'll put up a filtered post on my journal for the mods and we can hash out all the details there, k?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

_{[link me? I don't see this in VM's lj, I assume it's your mun journal.]}

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Nope - it was in V's journal - here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/veronicamars1/5453.html).

It's filtered to just the 5 mods so you'll need to be logged in to view it...

I ask about the extreme example because if that is allowed, everything pretty much is, and if not, where is the line drawn?

I mean, if I wrote a songfic parody of "Three Little Maids" about Lee/John/Cameron, no one would probably care. But on the other side of that equation I could write some sort of hardcore sex scene between two characters that aren't mine that could piss everyone off. Or maybe that should be allowed? I mean, that's kind of what we are doing here anyway - but when it comes to issues of respect, etc.

Which leads to my real question, and how we deal with characters that aren't ours at all. I mean, if I want to use my character's POV to discuss another character outside of the game framework, do I need permission?

I mean, it is fanfiction, and being a fanfic writer, I'm used to taking characters that aren't mine and doing horrible, no good, very bad things to them writing all sorts of nonsense. So just to be safe, I'm curious as to the rules, because if I do post something and it offends someone, at least I can say 'hey, honest mistake, maybe the rules need to be revised, no harm, no foul'. I try not to piss people off unless I mean it. :P

To be honest, writing FH fic is tempting, but not high on my list of priorities. So this isn't a huge pressing issue. I'm just curious for the future.

But it's a good question and it should be addressed before it causes a problem :)
