Deviation Actions
So far I've seen seen quite a few deviants that is fan fiction. I wonder if we can just write what we want or do we have to ask the owner of the subject in order to propose a deviant? I will be very pleased if any one can give a an answer. Thanks.
Apologies
Hi all, thanks for following me, a humble hobbyist writer.
Firstly, I've noticed that I've gathered a couple more followers since the last time I've written a journal. That and more people do enjoy my works which is nice.
Secondly and regrettably, I must say that my story requests will be on hold indefinitely. I've reached the part of my life where I'm just too busy to write anything on my own. I have ideas here and there but they don't quite make sense after thinking hard about it. I'm sorry for those who are waiting for me to post their requested stories only to be notified like this.
From now on, I can say that I'll post
Question#5
Hmm, the subject of conversation in DA seemed to have changed from Wuhan virus to ECLIPSE. I wonder why such a big ruckus? Things change from time to time and I think it's not that big of a deal(I use my mobile phone to watch DA most of the time). Nonetheless, I went to check it out and read what others opinion about it. After spending a good half an hour using the Eclipse version, I found myself in a situation much like how I started this account a few years ago. The method I tried to execute this little experiment is that I tried to write a new story. Turns out the tools available isn't quite as clear as the old version. And I do have to point out that quite a few websites that had gone through major updates will let the user know what's new and what's changed, Eclipse didn't, it's all DIY(Discover It Yourself). As of now (the time I wrote this journal), I'm still exploring Eclipse and trying to get a grasp at how to write a new story in Eclipse. So leave a comment on how you
Questions #4
Hello fellow watchers or whoever that'll notice this journal. Burgereater here has another question that has been bothering me for some time now.
Is it normal for people to have suicidal thoughts whenever they are bored? I sure have for quite some time but never actually made a move on that part. Tell me in the comments section about your ideas on the subject.
PS. I'm perfectly healthy except for some allergies and I have never been diagnosed with mental issues.
Sorry
Hello fellow watchers, sorry for not posting much lately. I got quite busy this year and probably the years that'll come after this one. Firstly, I had to apologize that I can't finish The B.U.T.T. Program story. After a few reviews and rewrites, I lost interest in it and can't think of anything that'll make it interesting.
But, on the other hand, I will finish the rest of the requests I had received this July, starting from a small story called The Ghost. Worry not, I will finish the requests, just that the pace I post thing will be slower so be patient guys. Thank you for watching me.

Like copyrighted works, or a prompt/idea? I'll see if I can clear a bit of this up for you, but please correct me if I'm misunderstanding your request.
Most "fan fiction" (i.e. fan-created derivative works of major trademarked characters and entities) are covered under the umbrella of "fair use" as parody/artistic interpretation/etc. So long as the created media isn't making money off of the original intellectual property, you are generally going to be just fine. So, for example, if I wanted to make a story about, let's say Sonic and his friends, I am pretty much golden- so long as I don't profit from the work, nor represent the work as official.
Now, going deeper, we have Original Characters, or OC's. This website is full of them. This will vary from artist to artist, and you must without exception ask permission to use another artists characters. It's just good form, and 9 times out of 10 they are going to let you use their characters/settings/etc. If they decline for any reason, you're wise to respect that, or risk not only that artists' wrath, but the wrath of other artists for "stealing" other works. It's a largely unspoken code, but it's easy to follow- if you don't know, ask before you use something that belongs to somebody else, and respect their answer. It's just good practice.
Finally, prompts. As I see you're a writer of sorts, we tend to rely on a "setup" rather than say a particular character or place to get the ball rolling. Usually it boils down to "X does Y that then leads to Z" to put it simply. These are more nebulous, as I don't know that anyone can claim total dominion over an overarching concept, and the notion that with a few minor tweaks you can take one prompt and make potentially hundreds of unique works based on it. To be safe, when I'm about to cook up a story, I ask myself if I've ever seen it done similarly before. If it's a real close comparison to someone else' work, I either modify mine to make certain the two works are incomparable, or ask the creator's permission if I think that my story might encroach on their ideas too much.
Full disclaimer, I am a car salesman by trade, not a lawyer, so I cannot guarantee this is all totally accurate nor up-to-date.
