Two things, really, 1) Where somebody has created an Original Character that they've got several writers/artists to do works on, does this still go under Original stories with the Original tag and a disclaimer of who owns the character or does it become a fanwork and need to go elsewhere? I don't know that this guy has got stories with his character on AFF yet, but certainly he has a few works elsewhere. He seems to have paid for some of them, suggesting monterary investment beyond a normal OC, although JD writes for free 2) I looked through the FAQs and citation bit but I didn't see for sure and this is probably such a stupid question that the whole post will be deleted and then the section of server with them overwritten with random 1s and 0s and then cut out and thrown in a foundry, but: If a character in an original story refers to someone from a published work, for the sake of argument Superman, do I need to put in citations and disclaimers and everything for that? I don't think it's come up before in my original strories because most folks were too busy gettin' horribly violated to make pop culture references, and I just don't like to get in trouble with the staff. Thanks for your time in advance even if you do just delete it for being stupid/wrong place, because that still takes clicks!

Your stuff is actually pretty good. (I'm waiting for a sequel to the Dresdenverse story, myself.) My biggest pet peeve is the, "I wouldn't write it that way" reviewers. Ok, great, then go write it your way!
