First _I_ have to apologize. I hope this story was posted during one of my
recent absences from Fkfic-l because I don't remember it. I'm sorry, Ith. Apology
accepted.
<>We have a rule against film crossovers?!? Okay, that one went right past

Here's the rule, number 3 on the Fkfic-l list.
3. FK may be crossed only with other television shows. It can not be crossed
with other shows which are based on print-published media including comics.
Crossovers must have the subject header xover: at the beginning of the
subject line. It has to be spelled that way because the listserv doesn't
recognize 'crossover," and it MUST have the colon. Crossovers must state
which show FK is being crossed with.
We added this several years ago because there have been instances of movie
copyright holders suing fanfic authors. Disney doesn't seem to have noticed us :),
which is just as well. They once prosecuted a grandmother for unauthorized use
of some of their characters in knitting for her grandchildren. At least that's
what I've been told. If it's not true, I'll be glad to hear it. However, I
remember when they did prosecute a nursery school in Florida for using Disney
characters in a wall mural.
McLisa, who has recovered from her attack of amnesia as to Amanda Cohen's given
name.
mclisa@m........ Of all times, it dawned on me as I was taking out the
garbage! <g>

See, I never realized this meant no movies. I thought visual media was
okay, just not books. So I shouldn't be posting my fic to the fic list ever
again for the most part. Most of my stories are crossed with Highlander and
Star Trek, both which have been movies. So I've been posting illegal fic
for years and never knew it. Adding Jack Sparrow was just icing on the
cake, so to speak.
Since I won't be able to post to FKfic anymore, if anyone is interested in
still reading it, I post everything on my Live Journal, and eventually it
gets put up on my archive. I also have an announce list that will provide a
link for any new fic.

Thanks to everyone who has read my fic over the years on FKFic. It's where
I posted my first ever fanfic way back in the mists of 90's <g> I'll miss
posting there.

Don't know about the knitting, but they did go after a woman
who drew Disney characters on her birthday cakes...
