With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.I am not allowed to sell my Star Wars fan-fiction. Why not?
Not a lawyer but I believe such fan fiction would be considered a derivative work.
Copyright protects original creators’ exclusive right to create derivative works. So, selling your Star Wars fan fiction without permission from the copyright holders would be copyright infringement.
See this article.
Copyright is stifling to creativity, as now people are not incentivised to write fan-fictions.
This idea contains at least two claims and one question:
- Copyright stifles creativity.
- Fan fiction does not damage creators.
- “Where is copyright good?”
It’s unwise to submit multiple ideas at once as they each become susceptible to ‘bulk criticism’. That can unduly weaken your own position.
Try submitting the ideas again, separately.
