Potato Moon and the Hive Mind

[puppetmaker]

There are a lot people who don’t get copyright. It is not an easy thing to get with lots of ins and outs and rules that apply to certain situations but not others. Then there are the chosen few who come up with their own interpretation of the laws that are so out there, it is like looking at a car wreck.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have that car wreck in the form of a fan trying to justify her book about some of the characters from Twilight and every time they are presented with why this is a bad idea, they come up with why they can do it.

So Peter had decided that something must be done since he is not going to take the rap for Jar Jar Binks.

You can find the information here

Please join in and help me make this go viral. I want as many people to participate and read and write as we can possibly get. There is no monetary reward but you get to be part of a really good chuckle and get to say that you were part of this.

So my plea for you is to go spread this far and wide. I want to help Peter create an Internet juggernaut for the ages.

I am grateful to everyone who helps us in this.

I signed up. I think what I love best about this will the dawning realization on this fan that her version of copyright means she can't stop this from happening. :D If we could be a fly on the wall, eh?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Tell all your friends. We want this to just surge all over the internet.

If I knew *anything* about Twilight, I'd so do this.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Honestly it doesn't matter. This is writing improve at its finest.

Sign up. It will be fun.

[paigemom.livejournal.com]

Oh what the hell...

[wandereringray.livejournal.com]

Oh that article makes me so mad. (the one by the stupid git - not Peter :D)

We don't own our characters? It's just part of a hive mind? Grrrr.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Please Oh Please join in. I think you would have fun.

[wandereringray.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm debating. *grins*

There's another "interview" with her on that website where she totally contradicts herself and says that Meyers "created" her characters and deserves all the credit for it. Aswah?

I signed up, but was having a bit of a problem, wasn't sure if my email got through, it bounced a few times. Could you check? Slythredeemer at yahoo dot com.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Not there. When did you send it? I even checked the spam filter just in case.

The address is peterallendavid_at_gmail.com

Make sure you have both "l"s in allen.

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, I'd really love to try this. Okay, I tried again. The vamps must really be against me.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

You're in.

[chris-walsh.livejournal.com]

Tell cleolinda! She'd love this, and boost the signal.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Done. I was thinking about contacting her but you are right. She is the right person to go to with this sort of thing.

Cleo's the source of much which is good. Serious reason, she let me know about Erin Bennett's Project Download. Silly reason, I've been a fan of Cleo's since the one-two punch of her parodies to Van Helsing and Troy five years ago. Sometimes I just randomly say "Cousins. Totally cousins."

How long have you been reading her?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Since her Harry Potter days way back when.

[ginasketch.livejournal.com]

hahaha I'm so tempted.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Oh please do. I think you would have a blast.

[dulcinbradbury.livejournal.com]

Also tempted...

As I commented there, it's the first thing to give me a reason to read Twilight. O_o

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Honestly you don't need to read the book to write for this. It is totally improv

[amarafox.livejournal.com]

That is hilarious. SOmeone needs to write Yar Yar Drinks in there.

[wookiemonster.livejournal.com]

I signed up last night when I read Peter's blog on RSS...

I'm getting ideas already... Heh...

[wherdafux-d-cat.livejournal.com]

*swoon* I love this! Especially having recently endured a frustrating series of emails with someone who wanted me to paint an 'Iron Man' fencing mask for him but didn't want to pursue getting permission and didn't understand that just moving a couple of lines wasn't going to satisfy the copyright fairies.

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

Hehehe! What a fabulous idea! :D

I sent the link to my Twilight-hating, vampire-novel-writing colleague (the one I bought the Buffy stakes Edward shirt for).

[scavgraphics.livejournal.com]

I dunno...

I don't like violating copyrights if it doesn't have "Electric Boogaloo" in the title.
