A Question About Lit Policy

[Shendude]

I'm not entirely certain about where to put this thing, but I'm pretty sure it's here. Please don't be mad if I'm wrong.

Anyways, what is Lit's policy about A: Turning interactive stories into regular stories, B: Importing the aforementioned from other sites, and C: using ideas from the aforementioned to try to inspire ideas for stuff here.

I don't know about A or C, but the main issue for B would be whether or not you'd written the stories yourself.

Have you checked the FAQs? I'm not sure if there's anything there that covers your questions or not, but it'd be my first suggestion.

Well, the initial idea came from someone else, but the execution and about half the postings that make up the story are mine.

And a checked the FAQ, and it doesn't. Thanks though.

You could also try a PM to Laurel, though you'll likely have to be more specific for her to be able to answer your questions properly.

I don't think Lit would mind it as long as you're not plagiarizing it, and it sounds like you won't be. The real problem is, I don't think it will be very popular as a story.

Your story will be switching perspectives from one person to another, and I've seen other stories like that on Lit and they're just not very popular. They're just too gimmicky.

Lit-wise you'll have truble getting two author's names on the byline. Lit just doesn't have any way of handling joint-authored stories. If you post it under one author's name there shouldn't be any trouble, but, again. I don't think people will like it.

What do you mean by switching perspectives? Do you refer to different authors takes on things?
