Tsaiko's World

Can I archive your stories/fanfics?: I have one requirement when you email me asking this question. You must send me the URL of the site that you are planning to post my fics at. That way, I can look at your site before I agree. I ask this for two reasons.

In the past, I had a problem with a girl basically re-writing a story that I had written for a friend. She then had the nerve to ask if she could host the story on her page. I was not amused.

I will not let my stories be posted on pages that condemn people for liking part of a fandom or genre. I like yaoi/yuri (stories featuring same sex couples) and don't find anything wrong with it. But I understand others don't. Lately, I have run across a number sites which basically tell people that if they don't like reading these kinds of stories, they are the scum of the earth. I do not approve and will not let my stories be hosted at such sites. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about what makes good writing. Everyone is not entitled to condem others for not sharing their particular tastes.

Do you mind if I take out the author's notes? They really don't contribute much to the story.: Yes, I do mind if you take out the author's notes. Or the copyright statment at the bottom. Or the warnings should any be contained in the story/fanfic. For your benefit and mine, consider these things to be part of the story. You must post them. If you do not, then I will ask you to remove my story/fanfic from your archives. If you refuse, I will ask your web admin. to remove them for you. Have a nice day.

Can I change the colors and/or formatting of the story? It doesn't really fit with my page.: I do give permission to change the formatting of my fics as long as all content remains visible and unchanged. This includes putting them in tables, blockquotes, changing colors, increasing font size, etc. The only real exception to this rule are the The Hel Stories aka The Spirit of Shinagami, Swords into Plowshares, and Wings of the Past (unfinished). I chose the colors for these fanfics in order to obtain a specific impact. I would prefer they remain unchanged.

Can I use the title graphic for The Spirit of Shinagami on my page? It's really cool.: The title graphics for The Spirit of Shinagami and Swords into Plowshares were made for me by my friend Miome and are her property. I can not give you permission to use them. Please contact Miome/miome@fanfiction.net for permission to use those graphics.

Can I use one of your pictures on my page?: First of all, I want you to email me the URL where it will be hosted. I will probably agree but only if it is unaltered. No words added. No cropping. No leaving out the small signature that appears on everyone of my pictures (at least, I hope it does). If you do want to use one of my pictures as a title graphic, banner, etc contact me with the specifics and we may work something out.

Your site is really cool. Will you host/archive my fic/story/picture?: While it's very nice that you think my site is cool, I cannot host/archive fics by anyone other than myself or Miome. This is due to both size constraints and the fact that I pay for my hosting. I do not have my own server. Therefore I would like for the space to be used by my stuff. The only exception to this rule at this time is my roommate Miome because she helps colaborate on several stories.
