Well as long as Quest doesn't say, "Sorry, this is a fan fic and we can not post it...", just because it is a fan fic, I really do not have a problem. Although I will admit it would be disheartening if the copyright holders would ask me to cease and desist. And yet when it is all said and done, they should be thanking me. This is a totally different take on an existing story, which I would hope would have people buy more of their existing and future products as I have.
This is a work of love, not a parody.
Regardless, I shall not say what the copyright material is because that was the reason I refused to post my code and why I only used sample codes when I had to. It is a surprise.
And yes I saw stuff like Star Wars and My Little Pony on here and I am not sure about Lord of the Rings, but I know there are countless MUDs that have that and I doubt each one has permission.
And again, since I am not turning a coin or really even harming theirs, but they might possibly gain from it, maybe they will put a little bit back into my pocket. Hahaha!
That last bit was a joke of course, but I wont stand to make a penny on this so what ever so ehhh...
And even if I did then I would have to pay Alex for his wonderful game engine and also those I used works from with their permission, etc. and that would be even more things I have to keep track of...
