Writing fan-generated content using community use policy (writing / creative)

[markrivett]

I’ve had an itch to write some Pathfinder short stories, and I’m having trouble understanding the FAQ regarding community generated content found under the “How can I start writing for Paizo?” section found here:
https://paizo.com/paizo/faq#v5748eaic9qtf

I am a published author, member of the Science Fiction Writers of America, and have earned professional rates for my writing.

The first link found here:

""Writing for other RPG publishers—especially those who produce Pathfinder RPG–Compatible products""

…doesn’t appear to link to a resource. Or, if it does, I’m not clear on the resource that differentiates from Paizo itself.

The second link found here is somewhat confusing to me:

""or writing fan-generated content using our Community Use Policy can bring your writing to the attention of Paizo.""

So here are my questions:

If I comply with “Requirements” and “Usage Requirements” (including adding my story to the community use registry) I can use the contents of the Community Use Package on/in my writing – including the Pathfinder logo?

If I write a short story, comply with the community use policy, and include a Pathfinder logo on the front page of my story, is there a way to submit my story for publication to the Pathfinder Tales /Web Fiction section? https://paizo.com/community/blog/tags/pathfinderTales/webFiction

If so, how do I do this? If not, is it then my responsibility to publish the story on say, my own website or other free fiction writing platform?

Is the community use policy as simple as: comply with policy, add logo to free product, publish free product on my own platform?

Is there a Paizo-sanctiond platform?

The FAQ says "“…can bring your work to the attention of Paizo”". How does Paizo notice your work?

Thank you, and apologies for not clearly understanding this community use system.

This is a good question, and something we're currently working on an answer for—stay tuned!

Thanks for pointing out the FAQ issues as well. We'll work on getting those updated.

Thank you for your response. I did not expect, but greatly appreciate, the VP of Marketing & Licensing weighing in on the forums. I understand that you probably don't know when these questions will have an answer, and even if you did, you probably couldn't say because you would have to defer to your communications and marketing plan, but I may as well ask...

Any idea on a timeframe on when these questions will have an answer?

Bump.

Wouldn't this be better asked in the Community Use forum?

Probably. I went ahead and flagged it.
