Writing Story Requests Question

[AsylumSeeker]

I have tried posting threads in the Authors forum but they are swallowed up much too quickly to be found, in my experience. Therefore I will post the question here.

I currently have a request for a story to be written. Once this is done do I then turn the story over to the requestor to submit, or do I submit it?

Wondering, as it involves an ex and I wouldn't want to open myself to reprisal.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I answered a request to have a written about twins brother/sister. i took it as a challenge as all i was given was names brief description and "Oh once the brotehr saved the sister's life" i turned it into a 5 page lit story and it did okay. Now what I did was i was upfront that this is mine. I will give him a "acknowledgment" in the author's note that it was based on his idea but it goes up under my name. I mean i don;t want money but should at least get the views/votes and possible attention to my other work. My suggestion is get that clear right now with the person you are writing it for.
In case you are curious here is the link. Now while I have you, i know you write incest. This was due to be a 2 parter for the guy the second author backed out. any interest in finishing it for a project? Your name of course I can just edit my ending note to say part 2 is coming from you.

I don't see you wouldn't submit it yourself, after all, you did write it. (Does the requestor have an account, even?)

Sorry, haven't been in this situation but I think if I wrote it, I'd post it. To avoid reprisals I suppose you could create a new user name and post under that.

I think you should have worked this out with the person making the request before you ever agreed to write anything. That's how I've done things like it in the past.

Actually, I am in the process of doing this. Was just wondering if there was an "unwritten or unspoken" rule of thumb. Perhaps the person only wants to see it written, not posted. I'll know soon enough.

Thanks all who responded.

If you wrote it, it's yours to do with as you please. You can't own ideas/concepts. If the requester wanted control over the story, he/she should have written it.

Thanks. Yes, person agrees. Will agree to my posting with revisions to names, understandable.

Thanks, SR.

Yup, very true too.

I have written a lot of stories for friends. The gift is in the reading, not the writing. Some of the stories were posted. Others were not, for various reasons. The most common reason is the story involved personal details and true events.

I cannot see any reason a person would want to submit a story written by someone else.

In further dialogue with the person in question, there is no intent on posting. I have been given permission to post it on Lit if I desire, but this was never the aim. The Person in question merely wanted to see the story written, and so tit shall be... and likely never submitted.

All is well.


Thanks all.

I did this once. I sent a draft to the requesting party and then a week later posted it on Lit.

Unless you are getting paid, the story is yours do do with as you wish. In a case where the characters are real people, you might want to change the names and and few characteristics to disquise them before publishing.

Yes, I had already planned on name and city changes, thanks for the thought. It's likely that person will never even visit Lit, much less find the literal needle in the haystack and be upset about it. But a person can't be too careful.
