Thinking of writing some stories using the town and charachters of twin peaks. There is lots of scope for different themes and scenarios. One eyed jacks the brothel/casino,the log cabin bondage den,fleshworld and others spring to mind.
What do you think?
 
I am sure you mean a twin peaks like town and people. Do keep in mind, the town and characters are copywrited, as in you cannot have them do anything without express written permission from the creators. Of course unless the copywrite is extended it is only good for 20 years I think it was, extending the copywrite happens before a DVD is released so Twin Peaks is so copywrited.

Of course it depends on the people who came up with the show, movie or book, some love to have people do things with their characters or worlds. Others have 24/7 searches done on the internet looking for anything that possibly could be damaging or infringing on their creations, Lucas does that I think.

It also depends on what exactly you do with the characters and setting, going with the Lucas example, a sex scene between Luke and Leia would very likely land a lawsuit on you, very fast and very heavy. :eek:
 
Pity

It was quite at work today so i jotted a few ideas and before i knew it i had half a story ,involving audry in one eyed jacks,writen. Never mind back to the drawing board!I can't afford a lawsuit from Mr Lynch and others but i could sure do with a story involving Sheryll lee Fenn ; p
 
Please don't ruin David Lynch's work by using his characters for a lit story.

No one here (and I do mean no one) could ever do it justice.
 
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery ! David Lynch is one of my heroes and i would do nothing to belittle his work! He actualy directed only 2 or 3 episodes but
i agree i could do his work no justice. I have just lusted after Sheryll lee fenn since i was a teen and i thought the program was one of the most eroticaly charged things ever screened on tv , i didn't mean to offend any fans ! Maybe a carnivale freak show inspired tale?:eek:
 
We've been over and over this topic. Fan Fic is a time-honored tradition, and in no way diminishes the original work. It may be a copyright infringement, in theory, but if it is not done for profit, it doesn't seem to cause any problems.

True but i dont want it to end up a parody like some of the super hero/ star wars storys out there i'll sleep on it and decide on it in the morn.
Thanks for your imput guys!
 
Fanfic has it's place, mostly at a trekkie convention but well it is a place. :rolleyes:

I don't really like fanfic, if you couldn't tell. I mean great someone else's work inspired you enough to add in but good grief what's wrong with doing a whole new story? :rolleyes:

It's not like it's hard or anything, you can even keep the same plot just change parts. Sorry not a Twin Peaks example but here's an example.

So Star Wars, we have a young guy unhappy with his life, wanting a change then suddenly finds himself joining a big struggle for control of the galaxy and finding out he is the needed catalyst for victory. Granted seriously simplified but I don't want to do a major run down.

So obviously can't use storm troopers, lightsabers or the names.

Instead we have a young man struggling to survive on a desolate little outpost. A passing salvager sells him a robot that he found, while repairing said robot he finds information detailing a weapon that the government is making. Instead of a death star let's say it is a plague type device, drop it into the air supply of a ship or planet and the people revert to rabid animals. There is also information on a group trying to overthrow the government. Seeing what the weapon would do he decides to find said group and give them the information.

Let's say we want to keep jedi but make them more interesting, so they use a spinning plasma blade that serves as a sheild and a sword. Spinning as in it is roundish like say Captain America or the glaive from Krull. So in combat they throw these things use it as a sheild and of course to cut people who get close. They don't get the ability to see in the future and so forth, they do get to jump higher and move faster though.

By more interesting I meant more showy of course. Interesting being an eye of the beholder thing. ;)

Anyway what I am saying is, don't trash your half done story, instead change the names, you can keep the looks if you want, and change why they are getting together for sex. Of course alter the story of the town, alter who does what and you have a whole new story. :)
 
Thanks for the input

Just the idea of writing a story for other people to read is daunting .I've writen stories and ideas for years but writing something on literotica is a whole different kettle of fish! I think i shall write something new and see what happens hopefuly i'll have something ready for next week.
Thanks again
 
Don't be discouraged about posting fan-fic though. Lit has their Celeb category and a nice lil' disclaimer for us to hide behind! lol


But, whatever you submit to the site, do run a spell check or, better yet, find an editor to help you with your stories. :)
 
Yeah spellchecking is needed! But i hope i would take a little more care writig a story than replying to a thread. Lets see what sinister deviancy I can come up with.
 
I've decided to write an original story. Thanks for everybodys input! I'm nearly done so watch this space, it's going to be called Joy division(nothing to do with the band). Shit Are names copy right protected too? Fuck it I'm going to go for it regardless!
 
Thats it submited just waiting for clearance! All exited gonna bust ma cherry!:D
Its Called Joy Division Chapter One feed back would be appriciated.
How long does it take for the story to be cleared?
 
Hey now, no asking THE QUESTION in here. :p

That question is only to be asked when you... no no not then, perhaps when... Hmmm dang I think your not supposed to ask that question, it's something on the level of the most evilist dangerous thing known to man, elf and succubuses. Don't even speak of it, it is not a thing to even be thought of. :eek:

7 days is about the normal period, sometimes longer so generally best to assume 5-14 days and not to be surprised if it takes three weeks. Of course much faster if you are participating in one of the contests, then it is a couple hours to two days depending on how many have been entered that day.

Even a Brujah Methusula?
Thanks again for your help ! Idon't think I'm up to the standard of entering a competition yet. But if the feed back to this story is posiyive who knows! Allready busy with chapter 2 of this story. Is it wise to submit this while I'm waiting for chapter one to get ok'd?
 
Oh sure, though keep in mind if the first one is questionable chapter two may get accepted first. I've seen it happen, not to me I am slow in adding chapters, well slow isn't the right term for it, slower than molasses on a really fricken cold day, I'm not talking cloudy breath cold, I'm talking freeze the second you open the door no way to live out there cold. :eek:

I'm just a bit worried cause my story is a bit close to the bone!
I'm limiting myself to 3 microsoft words pages per chapter so progress is steady but I find the sex scenes difficult because I tend to get carried away a bit!
 
Not always a bad thing. ;)

Course there is such a thing as to much but I'm not exactly sure I've ever seen to much sex scene. Hmmmm maybe I should start writing a sex scene and only a sex scene and see if anyone says to much sex. ;)

Dang that reminds me, I was supposed to have written just a blow job story, or was it supposed to at some point. Dang I forget, suppose I'll have to muddle that one out in my head and see if I can get over 750 words on the first try. :eek:

Its more making mistakes and repetition, it's easier when you are writing mundane shit! Just got feedback from a buddy who liked the story I'm over the moon!:)
 
Well be careful with your landings, that cow who jumped over the moon, well let's just say he left a hole and not much else. :eek:

I'm a bit like al queada when it comes to landings! Is all bout the ride baby:D
 
You know probably best to not mention that group online. They do searches for the name. Now that you have said it your probably going to be monitored for a while to make sure your not a terrorist. :rolleyes:

That would be the least of my worries!
Funny story from my local paper. Kids climbed on the roof of the secondary school and painted aforementioned terrorist group direction arrow here! funny:)
 
Sorry about the last couple of posts bad taste!
On my 3rd chapter of Joy Division, things are going ok but I find it easier to think of what to write 3 or 4 pages down the line than the next line. But I'm getting there! Thank god for the spellchecker!
