Do you mean you're adopting it, or just raising the thread from the dead?
I mean it more as "as someone not the author I'm not sure you can resurrect the story," not as "you can't resurrect the thread"
This brings up an important question.
I mean... probably not any more than a post-epilouge AU would be? It's not like they would be making any money off of it, unless you count things like Patreon.
Maybe just ask the creator?
While you're right that it needs to be better to work on its own,
While you can "In Theory" copyright fanfiction, I can assure you that 99.999% of fics posted for free on SB/SV are not copyrighted.
Because the topic has moved away from necromancy to copyright and fanfics.
Because that's not actually what the discussion topic is. It's "is it okay to continue writing a fanfic without the author's active permission" due to ambiguous wording of the necromancer's post.
I see... That, makes sense I guess?
Sure, there's no rule against it, but it's still hella annoying to get your hopes up to only be met with a level 1 necromancer practicing their wile acts where others may see.
thnaks, and no. i not going to adopt this ic, for a good reason, my computer... well it has a bug who makes a delay between what i write in the keyboard by a lot, this messages have taken me 30min to write.
...holy shoot, you need a new computer. Or keyboard. I would not be able to deal with that.
By that logic fanfic is copyright infringement so does the first writer really want to pick that battle.
Yes, they are, because you cannot not copyright something you write. It's automatic. Even explicitly saying you're putting it in the public domain apparently doesn't work.
You need to enforce that for it to be protected. Which people wont.
No. Copyright is not like trademarks; you do not lose it if you do not defend it.
