is this the right subforum....? 
like i wrote before i am working on a blog, where i carry together all that kinky and smutty and beautiful turn-on stuff - FF-reviews, links, book-reviews, vids, pics an such. 
now since i'm rather new in this scene, i surely don't want to upset anybody. 
so here's my question: 
do you think, it is ok to post pics without explicit permission of the originator? because in many cases the artist is unknown or not contactable... 
and of course i neither would pretend, that *i* am the artist nor do hotlinking. 
and what about fanfic - is it ok to quote some lines of the story (of course with naming the author and linking to the corresponding site). 
i'm a bit unsure in this case(es)....
