Inspired by the Baron

[Sabachthan]

If you wrote a story -- particularly if you posted it and Skafloc did not post any sections or replies on one of his accounts -- that is pertaining to Skafloc or any of his characters, help me out by replying with links.

Check through your own Journal(s) and posting history for anything about Skafloc and/or his alts. Many hands make light work, and it can also be an opportunity to remind yourself the impact that Rick had on your RP.

Villayna & others have already done a good bit of work on gathering up links to Skafloc's stories, but it is in my mind to sort through everything inspired by the Baron, not just that which he has written himself, and compile a body of works encompassing his influence on this community which does justice to both the storyline of his characters and the impact he has had on all of us. Please help me out with this by submitting, via links to actual posts, the impact he has had on you and your characters.

I am also willing to consider OOC PMs which you feel "encapsulate" nicely the above theme as maybe you thanked Skaf or he thanked you or you were plotting an IC move, which I guess you could forward to me? No guarantees on incorporation for those. Please don't forward me all of your correspondence with him, 1-2 max I can't imagine you finding more best examples than that.

I think this is a good idea. As I posted in the tribute thread, please do not repost writing that other people have written. Quoting is fine as long as you link to the reference, but do not edit. The last thing we need is to have something started with good intentions turn into something ugly. Probably 99% of the people involved in this site would be willing and eager to have their work included in some compilation, but the other 1% have the legal right to fuck this up. Don't get TNG shut down over something started with such pure intentions and for such a good cause.

Don't have much, but if you want it:

A recent story in which Skaf made a minor appearance but did not post: http://wow-tng.org/showthread.php?t=14038 Co-authors: Fhen, Eva, Maith. All of which I am sure do not mind their work being used (I'll eat a sock if I'm wrong).

Skafloc also appeared in and posted a bit in the Eclipse. Ownership of this plot can be a bit more nebulous to ascribe. If only the parts in which Skafloc was referenced are considered, those pieces were written by either me or himself, but they do make reference to events which, in roleplay, others took part in. Here are the Eclipse posts that pertain to events Skafloc was involved in:

http://wow-tng.org/showthread.php?p=124956&highlight=Skafloc#post124956 (written by Skafloc)

He also posted in this Eclipse-related thread: http://wow-tng.org/showthread.php?t=7714


Then again, this was just to create a compilation, right? As long as you're just linking to writing, I don't think that's the same as reposting it (although as Villayna said, even reposting someone else's writing on the same site is infringement).

Don't get TNG shut down over something started with such pure intentions and for such a good cause.Aye aye, Cap'n. Thanks for reminding me of the legal implications of using other people's works and rest assured that I will keep this thought at the fore of my mind as I go about this.

And thanks to Xaraphyne, those are exactly the sort of elusive posts that I would appreciate help in locating.

Here's an easy way to find posts you've done that have Skafloc or any other character in them:

- Go to the Nether Legends forum. Click on the arrow next to "Search This Forum" and go to "Advanced Search".
- In the "Search by Keyword" field, enter, for example "Skafloc OR Lupa OR Nouri" (leave out the quotes).
- In the "Search by User Name" field, enter your username.
- You may also want to include other forums, like the journals one (control-click in the "Search in Forum(s)" field).
- Click the Search button. Browse the results.
- Repeat for each username you have.
