Lackey fan fiction
Tanjeant
I am looking for short stories written by fans that are set in Lackey's
Valdemar. If you have any, or know of any authors, send me a message at
Tanj...@AOL.com OR Tracy_...@dbug.org.
Thank you

Just as a question to anyone else who might know -- I thought Misty didn't want
anyone writing stories set in *her* universe, only in one set close to hers
where certain important people didn't die (I'm not going to say who, I really
don't feel like interrupting my thought with spoiler space)? Anyone?

Truth, Aiglet, and a copy of the story with a release form has to be
sent to Lackey (even using the alternate timeline). I've got the
release form and a URL for Arrows Online with information on this
topic.

Far as I ever heard (and this was stressed rather alot on the online
forum I used to haunt before I got on the net) she was very adamant
about no fan fiction AT ALL, and was known to threaten people with
lawyers, etc.
Pretty strange for one who got her start in fan fiction, hmmmm?

Mercedes Lackey Fan Club. Misty lets us write in Valdemar as long as a) you
get a permission form from her (available through Judith at QO) and b) you
write in a legally separate Valdemar ie. The one where a certain important
person doesn't die! <G> They all have to be written in the Arrows series
time, too, I think, to allow that b) option.
But don't quote me on this - I haven't checked up for a while.

Actually, fanfic is allowed under very strict circumstances. And only
under the queens own club, I assume non-cyber and I know on Genie.
This restriction was put in place to protect her ability to make money
off of her worlds.
Debate has raged about just what can be done legally to protect ML and
punish those who break the law (copyright infringment). Which ended
in a general consensus on a.b.m-l that out of respect for her wishes
we will not tolerate fanfic here, and especially not if it involves
her worlds.
The same restriction goes for Muds for much the same reasons.
This is just a cursory explanation. For a more authoritative and
detailed version, please check the faq I posted yesterday.

I used to be, but my subscription ran out and I haven't renewed it because
1) I lost the address
2) I'm too poor (if you can believe it)

which of the many, please? To me, they were *all* important, in one way
or another.

still the case. i don't know the specs about how it applies online,
though.

My understanding is that ONLINE fan fiction is not allowed at all.
