Just In Case Anyone Was Wondering. Trademarking Fan-made Characters And Giving Credit To The Fan Creators

Just in case anyone was wondering. Trademarking fan-made characters and giving credit to the fan creators when it comes to fanfic, is only necessary when you are writing within that can creators AU.

Siren from bonesandthebees’s Clinic series, is a really good example of this. If you want to write within the clinic series, it is a helpful resource for your readers who may be unfamiliar with clinic, if you were to tag the OG creator of that niche Au, with tons of worldbuilding already established in the content. You wouldn’t tag bonesandthebees for creating an superhero/supervillians sbi au, that au is so vast and versatile. You could thank them for inspiration if that occurred, but still.

Like hypothetically: if someone wrote a witchbur fic, that didn’t focus on my own preestablished AU— like it was simply mashing the two items together, Wilbur and the concept of engaging in witchcraft—that’s not something you need to credit me for. You can thank me for the idea, if that was how you came to that idea, but it’s not necessary.

So. TLDR? If you are writing for someone else’s au—give credit to the author. If its just based of the vague concept of the Au? Not necessary.

void I am so down to join that if you end up making it !!!

Honestly, feeling dangerously parasocial and sentimental cause I love ya’ll so much.

Honestly, kinda makes me tempted to set up a discord server but also, I’m a mess and dunno if I’m ready for that level of commitment yet, or if anyone would even be interested in it.

you can’t believe what you think about yourself after sundown and you can’t believe what you think about yourself on your period and you can’t believe what you think about yourself when you’re hungry and you can’t believe what you think about yourself when you’re tired, the only time you can believe what you think about yourself is the split second after you’ve made someone laugh but only if it’s something other than “i should be a standup comedian”

I don't recommend deleting everything you've done but I do recommend privating posts instead or making them unrebloggable.

Just in case you want to look back at them.

I privated pretty much all of my work and deleted any and all reblogs talking about wilbur for now. Even if things do get cleared up, I most likely won't go back to writing about him since my hyper-fixation died out a while ago. I appreciate the advice, though!
