I have mat burns on my elbows just so you know.
I let my friend read my story and she started telling me what should happen. (I asked for a little more clarification on some points) and who should die and who should get married. so we were "discussing" that if she wants to write withing my world she can she just has to follow some simple guidlines.
-you may not under any circumstances kill, maim, do mental harm or otherwise incapacitate my main characters without my express permission (I may need them later.)
-you may not marry them and/or give them kids without my permission.
-you may not ad creatures to my world and you Must and when you use those creatures you must work within the boundaries and guidelines set for them (i.e. unicorns are never evil, no faeries please they drive me nuts, unicorn/Pegasus cross breeds are so rare you probably won't find one [mostly because I haven't decided were I stand on the Pegasus issue, what do you guys think?])
-you have to work with whatever plot I'm working on (stay out of the way or cooperate)
of those the first and last are the only ones that absolutely have to be followed. the others I can negotiate on.
but she insists on taking my story in a totally different direction that I was and says she is going to write the sequel. All in all, very amusing to listen to her talk.
