Okay. Question 1. I'm going to assume the artworks portion might be commissioned artworks that the creator of the character paid for, which is fine from our standpoint. The slightly dodgy bit comes with the writers using the character. I would actually have to see what's been done as far as other works using the character, but it might very well become a fanwork. Certainly we treat webcomic fictions as fanworks. Feel free to link me, and I'll look. Question 2 is easier. If you mention a widely known pop culture reference, that doesn't need to be disclaimed or cited in an original work. The resemblance portion of the disclaimer does cover that, along with the acknowledgement that the story is fictional. Otherwise, no one could ever go to McDonald's or have a Starbucks, and fiction would cease to exist as we know it.

I'm holding out for the next gen, or else I'll have to master Linux. My tablet is an older Acer running Android, which is wonderful.

According to BlueOrchid's profile, she took it down to revise and rewrite it. So, in this case, it's just a matter of when the author decides to repost that story.

I'm not finding any staff records on that title, so I'm pretty sure it was not removed by us. If anyone can come up with an author name, I can try looking that way.

It's our pleasure!

Hi, I'm seeing a couple of things going on. You've posted the second chapter as a separate story, and I'm not sure that's going to work well for you, since the stories won't be linked. Readers will have to go from story to story for each chapter. We have a FAQ on how to add a chapter here. I'd suggest going into your original story here and adding the second chapter based on the steps in the FAQ. Then you can delete the second story altogether. Now, on to disclaimers. For Original fiction, we need to see two things. We need you to state that it's a work of fiction, and we need what's called a resemblance clause, something like "Any resemblance of characters to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental." Those are the only two thing we require. You've got that in your second chapter posted as a new story, but the first chapter doesn't have either part, so that would need to be fixed. I use the following on my Original works: "This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is unintentional. All rights reserved by the author." You can feel free to use that if it works for you as well.
