Guest rebel_jediknight Posted January 17, 2000 Share Posted January 17, 2000 I know, I know, it's not very good... English is not my strength, believe me. I'll delete it if you want me to... ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? -------------- We're doomed [This message has been edited by rebel_jediknight (edited January 16, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Imladil Posted January 18, 2000 Share Posted January 18, 2000 RJ, if you think I'm gonna let you discourage your own literary ambition, you have another think coming! I have copied your text (no mean feat for one as computer challenged as I), and if you delete it, I will have it posted on every BBS in the English-speaking portion of the web by the weekend.

Guest Imladil Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 BTW, I like the story. When do we get to meet Star Wars people...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rebel_jediknight Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Point taken, Imladil! To answer your question: SW in the next part- that is, if you want me to keep posting the story up here... The problem is, I'm afraid of the plot falling apart after the next section... but who knows? maybe it'll work out! But I already have some improvements to do for the first bit... ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? -------------- We're doomed [This message has been edited by rebel_jediknight (edited January 19, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shootist Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 RJ, interesting story...don't delete it. Suggest you snail mail a certified copy to yourself and keep the date documentation. Known as the 'poor man's patent' it will show the court that it was Your idea and give a time line for its origination. Even if you're just doin' it for fun it would suck wookie buggers if you found out someone else developed your idea and made a buncha space scratch on it. KEEP WRITIN RJ!! ------------------ ACK...Phht!! Bill the Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rebel_jediknight Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Thanks for the advice Shootist... but how do I do that? ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? -------------- We're doomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Actually, shootist, a friend of my mom's (coincidentally being a patent lawyer) told me that it's even easier than that. Just write it down and send it to yourself--but don't open it! The postmark on an unopened letter is authentication enough in a court of law. I've copyrighted a thing or two myself this way, and it just costs you the photocopying and the stamp. Of course, doing the registered letter bit would provide a stronger foundation for any copyright claim. I believe a notary public can do still more. But isn't that all beside the point? Doesn't some lord high illuminatus of computer BBS land own the rights to all of our posts? I mean, that's why I never post anything here that actually makes sense in the first place...! ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Fragmentary "Is this my hand?" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shootist Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 I guess I wasn't real clear in my suggestion, what you said Imladil, is exactly what I meant. I don't know about the 'God on high' part of it though. Any other Rogue-A-Roos know anything about who owns rights to what's published here? Maybe a Mod or Admin could shed light on where to look for info. ------------------ ACK...Phht!! Bill the Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rebel_jediknight Posted January 21, 2000 Share Posted January 21, 2000 Just wondering... do I print out just the 1st page... or the whole thing... or do I write it out by hand and send it to myself? I'm not exactly sure...
