Fan fiction?

[BlackJester]

Yes, but not all fanfic is protected. It depends on the work and on how much the original author/owner of the work wants to protect it.  I don't think WotC is worried about this area of IP, but Im not a lawyer at Hasbro, yo.

tl;dr I think we're safe here.

Still, though, actual original work is better than someone else's.

[darkarts981]

It's called plagiarism.

Calling someone else's work your own.

That is illegal. Not that I really care, because jaces posts were cool. I think that's what he meant by being afraid.

Okay, look at this:

I love these stories

If it was 100% original, it wouldn't be set in the Magic Multiverse. At some point if it's to be magic related it'll have to borrow from things we know about the established worlds. Otherwise, it's just random fiction (still fine, but not MtG related).

[Jbombard51]

It would be a great PR decisiOn to come after someone writing fan fiction.  That alone makes you safe, aside from legal crap. Please continue.

I really didn't want to drag this out. But you want to. So I'm going to say it

As he said he just changed the pov and cut things out. Meaning he did, at one point, look at a story written by someone else. Then decided to change It around a bit.

Like I said. It's unlikely anything will happen, but wouldn't you rather write your own work, instead of just changing it around a little bit? I mean, anyone could do that.

I'm not trying to bash him at all. Just wanted to voice this.

Look at books like wicked. Or the pter pan novels by Dave berry

The point being that the lack of given credit.

lol can't believe no one knows this?  Guess no one has been to college.

no i'm pretty sure this was the point you were making considering it warranted a post of its own.

Tired of seeing 👆 his name In the main forum page just wanna forget about it

[Silent1236]

I love seeing a mod do something like Proph did.  It just makes me laugh 

[MisterJH]

Deck archetypes would be fantastic, something like Bringing your A game but specific to a deck or playstyle. I personally would find that immensely helpful and would religiously follow and respond to it.

[Galabranth]

I agree with the deck archetypes! You could make guides on each archetype which could explain why "the deck would be better off without this card" or why "this card is better than that in this deck".

Ok I swear that one ^^ is not me.
