Fanfics on Lit

[DarkSollat]

Hi!

I write smutty fanfics and publish them on one of the fanfics website, but I ponder about copying some of them to Lit.
My question is, do many people read fanfics here? Or they just use dedicated sites? What are your experience?
Also, does Lit has an issue with reposted stories, or stories set in IP words like e.g. video games universe.

You might fall foul of the rules around copyright. If the work is transformative, you're probably safe. Ultimately, though, it's hard to give you an answer based on what-ifs

What Wanda says. But two other caveats: celebrities is probably the section you’d post in, and it’s low-traffic; and if this is an aged-up version of a kid character, the story will be rejected. No 18 year old Powerpuff Girls or the like.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer. It might depend on what you are using and how old the original is. I've heard that the Disney Corporation is the most protective of its work, but I've seen explicit drawings of their characters on line. Supposedly the Harry Potter franchise is also guarded, but I've seen parodies - mostly drawings - online of that too. If you are doing it for free - as on Lit - you probably have more leeway than for a paid venue.

If the site is ever challenged, I doubt that Laurel would ever reveal the details to us. Also, parodies have gotten court protection. See:

Although that was an individual (Falwell) suing, not a copyright case. You'd have to dig deeper into copyright law.

So how about Harry Potter fic concerning only the professors and head master?

Low traffic is the least important factor for me. If that is where it belongs, then that is where it is going. Aging up characters will get you rejected by the site, not into legal problems I'd guess.

I suppose this is just a hypothetical. Do you have something specific in mind? I suppose that would be defined as Mature? Perhaps they would want to get it on. Many of them are younger than I am.

Go ahead, give a try writing it.

Probably okay? I never dove into fanfic, though, so no real idea.

This raises a question for me. I'm working on a Crime and Punushment piece that uses original characters set against an easily disguised setting. I'm not sure how Lit adjuducates fair use, but it would be nice to understand before I get too deep

I get this rule. I do. But I had an aged up Peter Pan story that I was dying to write. God, it was filthy in my head.

Peter and Wendy? Or Peter and... ohmygawd... Tinkerbell? Tinkerbell is so hot.

Well, the story in my head started with a 25 year old Peter in bed with Wendy's mom, while John and Michael are nailing the BBW live in maid. A few gender swapped pirates and Princess Tigerlily is a total slut. Oh, it was bad.

Oh man, I forgot about Firenze...

It's a travesty that this is against the rules!

Would it be? The movie Hook had adult Peter and Wendy married with kids, so they wouldn't necessarily be up-aged.

Lit has no issue with people reposting their own stories, as long as it's not done to promote other sites (e.g. don't post the beginning of a story here and then tell readers to go read the end elsewhere).

If you look at the Celeb/Fanfic category, you'll see plenty of stories set in worlds like WoW, though some properties are off-limits (see below).

The law on fanfic and copyright is murky, but Lit seems to have decided to accept that particular risk, AFAICT.

So how about Harry Potter fic concerning only the professors and head master?

Harry Potter, Simpsons, and Disney are specifically banned:

rejected! So now we know for sure. The (good parts of the) rejection:

----------
Dear Writer...

We do not publish J. K. Rowling, Simpsons, or Disney fanfiction.

Thanks for your time, and look forward to reading you again!
Laurel & Manu
Literotica.Com
----------

L&M haven't elaborated on that, but I'd assume the reason is not wanting to be seen as posting material that might attract children to the site, even if it only uses characters who are canonically adult throughout the books. IIRC Rowling's stated position on fanfic is that she's okay with it as long as it's kid-friendly.

As long as it's Hook fic instead of Pan fic... And keep Rufio the hell away from the orgy...

Not sure Laurel would buy that argument.

 

[Rob_Royale]

I quite agree.

I have already bounced the idea off Laurel, who politely told me she would not publish it. It's her site, her rules. No hard feelings.

@DarkSollat sorry to derail your thread.

The other aspect is you could get tabloids reporting things like "Literotica, a site which hosts a story about Hermione from the children's book series Harry Potter sodomoizing her friend Ron with a fifteen inch dildo,..." and have it be true. Obviously the paper wouldn't mention they're both thirty five in the story.

Good to know.

He must be entirely animated, because the only acting credit is for his voice. Is that him, third row down, second from the right?

I have posted a series of Fan Fic stories based on an Anime (Gate: so the JSDF Fought!) and on Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I mostly borrowed the universe and didn't base the anime on specific characters. A Character or two might do a cameo, such as Samuel Vimes might show up and give a suggestion on how to question a subject, but that's about it, but you're not going to mistake a magical flat world on four elephants on a giant space turtle for anything else.

It's not a rousing response (my discworld fics are quite long) but I chose the discworld because 1) it's FUN B) It's fan fic friendly and III) I like it

Give it a try, but if Laurel says no, it's NO.

You're in a mood tonight, aren't you? That, or inebriated.
