Guest Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 4 hours ago, Alpha 360 said: Why, Why do you do this!? You started with mimicking StarTrek and now with Starwars, will you ever respect copyrights. I'm sure this was meant as a joke, and perhaps the poster does not realize that the wording "will you ever respect copyrights" is an accusation not dissimilar to the phrase "will you ever stop beating your children" "Fair use", as @KSK cites it, is a clear and well-established notion in US and most other jurisdictions' copyright law. Case law pretty much excusively supports the right to create a derivative work such as this, especially when (1) it's transformative (that is, the new work adds something, as I'd like to think mine does) and (2) when the work is a parody (that is, when said transformation represents a humorous commentary on the original, which again is pretty much what we're doing here) Given all that, if anyone ever does feel that my work or any other infringes a copyright, they should flag the post for moderation. Discussion of copyright infringement (don't worry, I'll report my own post in a moment) is forbidden under Guideline 2.2a (though I think the statute really refers to posts discussing means of accomplishing said infringement with respect to software, i.e. piracy). Other Guidelines may apply, of course, but never forget that not only does Your Author take copyright and intellectual property ownership VERY seriously, managing such legal properties happens to be his day job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you haven't lost! Even if my story ends up being judged best, four winners will be chosen. You could be one of them! But @KSK, and @Cydonian Monk, and @Angel-125, and some other really good authors have also entered, so make sure you send your bestest stuff! 14 minutes ago, GregroxMun said: Does this count as Kerbfleet canon from the early days of the space program? No, that story isn't canon... though you may find a few similarities between the Valentina Kerman in that piece and the then-Comder Valentina who made a somewhat angrier version of that speech in A Few Good Kerbs Edited March 8, 2017 by Kuzzter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - it's great to see Squad doing a writing contest and hugely encouraging to see so many entries! I'm curious as to whether the eventual poll is going to be shortlisted though - some of the entries are really good but, to my mind anyway, don't really fit the humour, parody or satire brief. Doesn't matter much at the end of the day though provided that folks have fun participating. Edit: And it might prompt Squad to run another contest with a different brief. Which would be excellent!

Outstanding!!!! Good point sir! That point leads to the obvious corollary: all good science fiction/space opera must have Space pedants. (Well, that's a low-rent literary theory I'm working on.) EDIT: hmm, it seems the forum software and/or the mods changed the word for "national socialists" into "pedants." OK... sorry to offend, but I'll roll with that. Now working on a new Space Pedant literary thesis. This should be... fruitful? Edited March 10, 2017 by boccelounge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 IMO, of all the depictions of Kerbulan ruthlessness in this series, the smile on Val's face as she spams the agonizer at the end of Chapter 18 just topped the list.

Guest Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So I'm going to get back to comics soon, really I am...for now the writing time is going to the very fun Kerbal Chronicles challenge which closes for submissions today. My second entry isn't Kerbfleet canon either, though readers will recognize our favorite kerbelle (her name was auto-generated, so I think she's "stock" enough), as well as a certain senior pilot with a "random word salad" approach to linguistics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSK Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yup - good luck to everyone with entries in the competition! I think Kuzzter Kerman would make a mighty fine addition to the name generator and Just-Jim Kerman has a certain kerbal feel to it too.

It would be great to see Kuzzter Kerman become a game name, but I'm not terribly interested in mine... I would insist they add Emiko instead.
