Golarion Fanfiction

[nightflier]

I'm thinking about writing some fanfiction based upon the adventures of my PC's. Can I publish those stories? What are the rules considering fanfiction?

[Matthew Morris]

General fan fiction rules.

They're long winded

Poorly Written

Full of Mary sues...

Oh, wait, you meant legal rules. Since Golarion is Paizo's IP, I don't know.

I'm getting ready to write up 'Hydra's Fang' with some flourishes for my own entertainment, but I don't expect it to go any further than my hard drive and friends reading.

I expect a response saying something along the lines of:
-Pathfinder/Campaign setting/Golarion are IP
-They're going to have a separate license for it eventually
-Please refrain from publishing it until such time

or something like that..

I think also that you can't make money from it.

As far as I know, they're working on guidelines for that.

[James Jacobs]

We are. Tis slow going, but eventually we'll have guidelines that show how to handle fan fiction, fan adventures set in Golarion, and other stuff. It'll probably be more open and permissible than a lot of folk expect... I've got my fingers crossed that it will be, at least, because fan support is Good. :-)

How about that Golarion slashfic?

I'm not asking for myself of course, but for my...uh....friend. Yeah, my brother's friend.

Says the guy with a furry icon :-P

I just hope that my ego will be able to handle being ripped if I actually do upload it somewhere

Brilliant! I hadn't thought of that. Now everytime I seem my avatar all I can do is laugh...in that scared, sort of nervous way. :)

To go with that Nualia/Seoni picture Lillith drew? (Of course, that would be femslash, but still)

I never got to see this pic. Can I find it someplace?

While Valeros/Seltyiel runs more towards my taste, I am not opposed to the idea of Nualia/Seoni. :)

Edit: more specifically, it's this post

We've finished our draft and passed it to our lawyer to make sure we're not doing anything stupid... we also have to work on a couple of small things on our end, but I suspect we'll have something ready to roll out in January.

Rule:

Fanfics taking place parallel to events in Second Darkness must keep tentacles PG-13. Infractors will be charged with the full psychiatric bills of grieved parties. @_@

Thanks for the reply. The thing is, I think that fan fiction can be a good thing from a publisher's standpoint. Just look at Eric Flint's Ring of Fire series and twenty published fan fiction based collections, which include stories and different kind of articles. Perhaps one day we will have literary contest along the RPG Superstar lines...

as always a modicum of rules are needed
