Commissioned stories

[Ichasennin]

I wanted to know if it is possible to publish here original stories (not fanfictions) that have been written on paid commission.

Thank you in advance.

Moved to a more appropriate forum.

As for the question, the archive moderators or the admin can give you a definitive answer. But I think we don’t allow it.

That’s a slippery slope for us. We are a fan fiction archive, and not an indie publishing press, and we steer very clear of anything involving the exchange of funds even though we do allow original fiction and nonfiction to be posted to the archive.

Work written on paid commission becomes the property of the person for whom it was written. Given that you accepted payment, our Terms of Service would prohibit your posting that work under your account. Similarly, the person who commissioned the work could not post it, because it is not their work, any more than a novel I purchased for my Kindle would be mine for the purposes of posting it online.

Of course, if our admins differ, they’ll let us both know, but that has been my understanding for as long as I’ve been moderating here.

I was more or less sure but the topic was nebulous at best.

Thank you very much.

BronxWench has it exactly right.
