h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have a few that have about run their course with the magazines. If you want them, I can make and entry and send the link to you.

As long as it's fiction we'll take it.

So long as the copyright issues are all OK, I think?
I'm way out of my depth with copyright though. *shrugs*

¦M¦

Well we're not going to actively put up something that is liable.

I don't send itout unless the copyright is clear.

originally appeared in Runes e zine, in Oct. 2004. They hold one time copyright, as do most publications, and do not hold the right to keep it exclusively for their archives. Nor do they have reprint rights.

It reverts back to the author.

Most mags ask that the author not send a story out until they have had it up for one to six months. For the love of mags are usually less likely to want a story longer than one month. Reprints are common among such mags.

From their web site:
"We retain first electronic rights for the story. All other copyrights to the stories will remain with the author."

Didn't you used to have stories in FC before you moved them for print?

Yep, but I had to do almost complete rewrites. They were so altered they'd call for a separate copywrite.

The Dragon Thing To Do was one, and it wound up in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine's april 2004 edition as "Scales of Justice". It looks totally different from anything in FC. Much expanded, and the plot is the same but new charactes are added.

Now it's earmarked as the first two chapters of a novel. (Always planned on expanding the story to follow those two charactes around, so when I wrote the book, I used the story as a launching point)

I've got clear copyright to it. Sent it off to a publisher, but won't hear till May.

Good luck.

Acually how did you go about this publishing business? Always interested in this kind of thang.

'Symbolic' is now up, Ms. R.
