Ghost Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 In my most recent update to my Original story Loealkah I've used a quote from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' when one character is reading to another. As it's in public domain I've assumed that this should be fine, and that it's a single line, but I did want to ask before I got myself into trouble. It's already updated and in the chapter ( chapter Two ) but if there's issue with it I'll remove it ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's fine to use the quotation, but we do ask that you include a citation, either as a footnote at the end of the chapter, or if it's feasible, an in-line citation in the body of the story. We have a FAQ with some examples here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a FAQ with some examples here. I've placed mine at the beginning of the chapter, is that acceptable? [ I quote from 'A Midsummer's Night's Dream in this Chapter, a book that's in public domain. ] That's my Citation, or should I make it more formal and or move it to the end of the chapter?

BronxWench Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'd add "by William Shakespeare" to complete it, but at the beginning is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
