Jeebus, Gud, that's a lot of revisionating. ::pushing all the chocolate through the intertubes to you::
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Thanks for the chocolate. Hopefully the next round won't require as much surgery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They're not the first ones to try. I'm interested to see how it will shake out with the various restrictions attached.

Because books.
Maybe I should start watching Vampire Diaries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't do it, Amy. Trust me.
Does that mean that if you now write TVD fanfic and get monetised any other way you're specifically violating copyright? And maybe if you don't get money at all?

From what I hear from someone who works there, Alloy Entertainment is not exactly the nicest of publishers. And now they have even more leverage to treat their authors and editors like crap.

Because books.
Alloy does a lot of packaging, and they're very bottom-line oriented. A lot of those series were developed in house and farmed out to contract writers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
“We will also give the World Licensor a license to use your new elements and incorporate them into other works without further compensation to you.”
i.e., that really cool creative idea you put in your story, or that awesome new character you made? If Alloy Entertainment likes it, they can take it and use it for their own purposes without paying you — which is to say they make money off your idea, lots of money, even, and all you get is the knowledge they liked your idea.

I pity the poor schmuck who's going to have to go through the slush pile.
