A note asking an author to write a sequel is not the same as a note asking the writer for permission to write your own sequel/spinoff/prequel to the author's story. Remember that. And try sending her another message. Then try sending an email to Jinn, the webmaster of this site, and ask if perhaps he has a way of contacting the author about a particular story. Every attempt should be made to contact the originator of a story before using the character/names from that story without permission.

There was a story called "Owned Teacher" that was started and abandoned by author Thumb. Someone called slavenick made some inquiries, came to the conclusion that Thumb had died (this is the way I remember it, the details are in Story Feedback in the upper part of the Forum), and wrote and posted some additional chapters. When lex ludite brought to Jinn's attention that a new author was usurping this story, Jinn removed the added chapters.

As a writer-wannabe, I would be pissed off if anyone else wrote stories using my characters. I'd be irked, but not seriously pissed, if they set stories in my world using their own characters.

(As an aside, I think slavenick's work was better than the original.)

WHOA PEOPLE.

This is getting way out of hand here. I'm looking for advice about how to fit BDSM into my story, not advice about doing a take off. If you insist on following the latter, then perhaps we could take this private.

I posted here because this is where I first found the story, AND was hoping for some advice about BDSM, but as I have already said,

I it is unlikely I will post (the story) here.

I am now thinking that since I am getting nowhere, there isn't any point in returning.

Another thing to bear in mind. Katie posted her story in a public forum for which she was paid nothing. I suspect that would make her story public property. Also there are a number of other people who are writing about this situation, and although Katie's story is the best and the most extensive in describing the overall situation, it is by no means the definitive one.

Perhaps I came on a bit too strongly about spinoffs on another person's work. It's just, with me being a 'Net author myself, I know what it feels like to have my characters hijaceked, and other people might feel the same way. I sent a PM to the thread moderator, and she should be along shortly to correct me on my misconceptions.
I don't mean to 'scare you off'. You're welcome here at the Forums.
So you're looking for a scenario in which three of the guys at the College are humiliated to the extent that they will leave the college. Since college boy scenarios aren't really my thing, I might have problems with ideas...but let me sleep on it, and I'll let you know what i come up with.

While I'm chewing that over, why not wander over to the 'New Members' thread in the General Discussions Forum and introduce yourself there? You might get the attention of some more people who share your admiration for that particular story, and in any case, it might be nice knowing something about you, and getting to know something about us as a group as well. And people will probably like to meet you, anyway. There's really a nice group of people here.
Welcome to the forums!


still thinking...

Also there are a number of other people who are writing about this situation, and although Katie's story is the best and the most extensive in describing the overall situation, it is by no means the definitive one.

Having just done Copyright Law at Uni, I can say that her story does not, and cannot, become public property until 50 years after her death or the date of publication. By posting it on the site, she gives the site the right to publish it, that's all, just like a normal publisher. The ideas contained in the story are not protected though, which is the whole basis of fan-fiction, and you are free to use those as long as no copying of the text itself occurs.

I do think that you should contact the original author and inform her, as a simple courtesy, but there is no legal requirement for it to occur. As long as no plagiarism happens (so you can't directly copy ANYTHING from the chapter you mentioned) then you're fine.
That being said, Jinn still has the ability not to publish it here if he so chooses to. And you should make it clear that you are the author of the new story, and aren't associated with Katie.

And now...
Do you have any sort of idea what you want to have occur in the story? If you're inexperienced in BDSM... we have an entire library here of stories that you can read and learn from. Are you asking for ideas on storyline, or technical questions or what? I think the former student idea isn't bad... perhaps make her a relative of Amanda... her cousin, or sister or something?
