The Stray Cat Strut Fan Media License (Patreon)

Hello Samurai,

So, this is something that a few people have been asking about, and it's something that does exist in our niche. So, with the help of my friend Selkie Myth, I was able to put something together for anyone who writes an SCS Fanfiction.

This is a contract. It allows the persons who sign it the right to own and publish and distribute their own SCS a fanfictions for profit.

How does it work? Download the PDF attached below, read it carefully because it's still a legally-binding contract, sign it, and send me a copy over Discord or via Patreon DM. I'll sign it and send you a signed copy in return. From that point on, we will be in a contract together.

The broad terms are:

·         You are permitted to use the setting, events, characters, and iconography (e.g.,logos and character designs) in your Fan Works.

·         You ARE permitted to monetize your Fan Works.

·         You MUST be an individual or small team (twenty or fewer) to benefit under the License.

·         You may NOT use text copied from the Licensed Series.

·         You do NOT have to submit your Fan Works to the Author.

·         You do NOT have permission to use other Fan Works without permission.

·         You MUST grant the Author permission to use any characters, events, etc. that appear in your Fan Works.  This is to prevent arguments that you created ideas used by the Author in the future.

Basically, it's as open a free a fanfic contract as can be while I still cover my feathery behind.

This all sounds rather serious, and that's because it is. I want the SCS fanfic community to grow, but I want it to be done responsibly. Still, this should give you the legal right to make money off of your SCS fanwork without fearing any legal repercussions in the future, which I hope is pretty cool!

Keep warm,

-Raven
