With the 3rd annual Summer Story Competition starting next month, I thought we needed to start a blanket permissions thread. Following are the standard statements from the Summer Writing Competition of 2002:

This thread has been started to allow people to sign their name if they agree with the following statements:

1) I agree to allow my screenname to be used for works of fiction by any member of the board for the purposes of the Summer Story Competition III.

2) I understand that the stories may be parodies, and that by signing this list, authors will not have to seek any additional permission when using my screenname in their works.

Authors may use screennames of any people replying with agreement to this list for their works of fiction on a good faith basis... In other words, authors can not post a work of fiction that violates the zero tolerance policy, and then claim that they were given permission.

If a username does not appear on this thread, an author can still use the name if they first recieve explicit permission from the user.

Edited to give writing credit to Sleeeve for the above standard statements. All hail Sleeeve!

Have fun, and feel free to use either Meemo in any stories (so long as the character reflects my stunningly good looks

Half man, half amazing, all DAW
